OHHH sorted although active x was installed it made the system crash !! and lock up but once i turned it off removed the usb turned it back on again we managed to get it working the ip address is the computors as so the dvr will be set to this address but using the dvr 's port . I can now access the cameras through PDvr4TWN now then their is a mobile app called secuview or somthing similar this will not work on a smart phone so I still cant access the cameras through my mobile which is not an I phone , so going to try and download the PDvr Version ... Steve .

Hi yes that is an option However I have found out that the dvr unit has to have active x loaded through the usb port to which i cannot get active x on the net as a free download without having crap with it !! has anyone got an up to date actice x I can use ? Thank you Steve .

No filtering . after several hours of trying several servers the result is the same !! so i think as the unit is a stand alone i will plug the ethernet cable directly into the bt socket then see what happens .. Steve

yes thats right but the drv has so many settings like ip type to which i have set to static also ip address and gateway and subnetmask and mac address . also server ip port default dns address and custom dns also their is the modem (wireless) to which the dvr is connected to and all the pass words that go with that ? so is it best to get a seperate server or just plug the dvr into the bt socket ? Steve .

Thanks for the reply , Sorry yes they are my own cameras at the works address i have used the maplins dvr unit with 4 cameras , I have used an ethernet cable to the wirless router (cisco linksky) I can view the 4 cameras through the stand alone monitor and have used the software in the works computor to also monitor the cameras using the dvr's ip adress and password (this computor shares the same router) , but when i get home to acess the cameras using the same method through my laptop i cant get to view them ?

Hi everyone new to this so be kind lol , Ok I have come across a a wierd problem, I am running security cameras with the dvr through an ethernet cable to my router the dvr unit has a different ip number to my computer which is on the same router I have installed the software to view the cameras on my computer to which i put in the ip adress of the dvr unit and the password of the dvr unit and it works on my computer showing all the cameras , now then when i get home and use the same ip adress and the same password it will not work , i have tried using my ip adress for the works computor om laptop at home and still have not got a connection it keeps saying wrong password ? what am i doing wrong ? is their better software for this ? or is the router blocking me from getting in ? your thoughts will be most welcome .. Thanks Steve .
