grahamfromoldham 0 Posted August 5, 2007 I'm banging my head against a brick wall at the moment with my new cctv installation and hope anyone can help me. I can view my cctv in Internet Explorer here at home and also with thr remote viewing software the DVR came with, but when I go to a friends house and use his wireless connection to view my cctv it won't connect. I can surf the web ok, I just can't see my cameras. Any advice is appreciated as I was hoping I could view them from anywhere in the world. I'm hoping I'm doing something simply wrong...thanks in advance, Graham UK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grahamfromoldham 0 Posted August 5, 2007 Just in addition to the above info, my ISP is bt dot com here in the UK and my port has already been forwarded on my only router to that of my DVR so they match. My port no. of the DVR is 50,000 by the way..again, many thanks in advance for any info given...cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted August 5, 2007 is your friend using the same ISP, also, that port may be in use by something else on your friends PC or being blocked for some reason. See if you can telnet to it from their PC: Find Command Prompt, enter: telnet IP PORT Where IP is the DVRs Ip and PORT is the port. If it clears the screen (doesnt fail), then it is okay. In that case it may just be security settings on their IE Browser. If thats the case have them add the DVR to the trusted sites list in the IE security settings. Also, let us know what DVR it is.

grahamfromoldham 0 Posted August 6, 2007 It seems that an i.p. address was indeed inputed incorrectly in my router settings...aherm....ooops...must admit it was my bungling about that did it. I thank you for your advice those who replied, you know who you are, and also Rory. My cctv is now up and running and viewable outside my home network...thanks once again, Graham, UK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
