Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am a newbie , i just bought the AVTECH stand alone dvr

 

http://www.avtech.com.tw/english/product_13_760.htm

 

it works fine, iam trying to setup the network but iam not good in computer networking, the instruction said : build an area network by connecting DVR to PC with a network cable, then log in DVR with the supplied AP software to configure the DVR, (AP software is installed in my PC)

I used the RJ45 cable connect directly from my PC to DVR and tried to log in DVR using AP software provided, but it failed.

Please help! Thanks in advance.

If you are going to connect computer to dvr only you need a cross over cable for it to work. I you have a switch or router you need a stright through or normal cable. Also your DVR needs an address or has a network address you will need this to conect PC to DVR in either case.

if its just local .. not needing to connect remotely .. then you can use a hub or swich .. just make sure they are all the same IP Range, as you have above (double check the DVR though), the same Subnet Mask, and the same gateway. then using a normal Network cable and the hub or switch, you should be able to connect.

 

Also check that the port is in fact 80.

 

If you want to connect from a remote location, then you will need a router or some form of routing device which at that point you would need to enable the port forwarding for the DVR also.

could it be something wrong with the DVR internal network card? or the default IP address is different than it told in the manual? how can i check the default IP address? the DVR is recording and viewing ok except the network.

Dear sir,

I just brought AvTech 760 DVR, and I'm very interested with your explanation. Since you have successfully browse the DVR over the internet using PC.

I plan to browse the DVR from mobile phone. Have you try to browse using Symbian or Windows Mobile phone?

everything works excellent through the internet with the Video Server E, but if I go in my browser and type the IP address, I do get the nice login screen, but when I type in the username and password the page says page not found

 

 

Thanks for all your help.
