Help with my rubbish cctv box please and network :(

[ivorbiggun 0]

Hi all

 

I have a cctv box that works a treat. However....... I have connected it to my network and its sending a signal that my pc can see and "open". At this point it asks for a log in, i know the information yet when i press connect nothing happens, i have installed all the plug-ins, and used IE, Firefox and Chrome but all have the same black box with controls and the log in, so i am wondering if the box's software is not working right.

 

I got the box off a mate who got it off a mate who he no longer speaks to so no idea where it was from, there isn't really any information on the box so i cant go to there website etc

 

I have limited knowledge of CCTV DVR boxes so not sure if you can install new software like you would on a pc etc so i hope one of you fine folks can help me

Please install this file, if you can`t see a black box below.

Thats what i see (i have removed the port and password to be safe) under that is a connect and disconnect icon, then the black box that it suggests i should have. It shows all the various controls IE playback and pan controls but just wont connect

 

 

I do hope you can help as i would love to be able to set this up for viewing while i am out as some idiot tried to break in to my house last week while my wife was home alone, being able to see them while i am out is excellent

 

Thank you for reading

In IE, run that IP address in compatibility mode. And make sure all Active X and firewall settings are properly set on or off in IE settings.

if using internet explorer with windows 7 or 8 you could also try selecting the tools cog, and select f12 developer tools and select ie9, 8 or 7 mode and see if any of these work. also try selecting internet options-security tab - custom security level and enable the java settings under scripting to see if that helps.
