Please can anyone identify this CCTV recorder

Please can anyone help identify the make (and maybe model) of this CCTV Recorder.

There's no make or model shown on the outside.

I've not yet opened it to check the MB

There was a belief that it was a Swann but we're now not so sure..

I'll add some more photos when I can (There's a limit of 3 per post)

 

Thanks

Mark

Two more photos to help (hopefully).

Looks like unbranded general DVR

 

What do you need to know or what are you trying to do with it?

 

You should be able to see the size of HD in unit from menu

I'm trying to hook it up to the network so the cameras can be accessed from outside via the internet.

At the moment I'm not even getting this to appear on the list of devices connected to the hub (via Ethernet).

I'll grab some more specific GUI screen shots when I'm next on site.

you will need to find the Network setup menu where ever its buried and check if its set to static or dhcp and make sure the DVR is taking the LAN ip form the router and correct subnet mask etc then you might find it on the router.

What brand router?

Stroke city ?

I found this was bought from Maplins about 3 years ago.

Does that help anyone identify the manufacturer ?

 

I found the network set up page.

It gives the choices of DHCP, Static or PPPoE

I've been trying to get it set up using DHCP

 

As for the hub , it's a BT Home Hub 5 (Type A); Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.204

However the hub doesn't recognise it has anything connected via the Ethernet port !

(The CCTV is physically connected) .

I have tested the cable and that looks good.

 

Thanks

For the BT home hub start by reserving the IP of the DVR after allocating it a static IP address and then it won't matter if its set to static or DHCP, (better change back to DGCP after reserving the IP) the router DHCP will always allocate that DVR with the same IP address.

(The router recognizes the DVR by it's MAC address)

 

I have found this the most reliable way to approach the BT Home Hub settings.

 

for the DVR generally set a device identifier address of between 159-200

 

If you speak to maplins tech support they will do it for you very often 'receipt needed'.
