Is the computer a ibm unit? GV was doing the same thing with me using ibm lenevo.I switched the unit now it is good

Thanks for this,by the time the company gets back to me 9.0 will be out

How do i obtain this software emailed the company a few weeks ago no response.

I have dealt with Dico-800 a few years ago when I was helping people migrate from Pico2000 to Dico 800 when some one else did massively lots of "Pico2000" installations. But never came across any one asking me to help them view their cameras over any mobile device, only via laptop/desktop. But, I have a solution for you that may work fine, I would like to call it the RealVNC way. Since I am almost sure that there is a RealVNC app for the iPhone that allows you to connect to RealVNC based servers using your iPhone, you can install RealVNC to your Dico-800 based server, configure RealVNC to listen to a port that your Internet Service Provider isn't blocking (I use 5600 for all my VNC based servers with good results, so you may use that port if you want). If you used port 5600 then on your router allow port 5600 external TCP access to the private IP address in use by your DVR server. I personally recommend that you set a static IP address to the DVR server, for example, if the gateway of your router is "192.168.1.1" then set "192.168.1.99 as the IP address of the DVR, then on the router configuration page set 192.168.1.99 port forward to 5600 and then set Windows Firewall (if you use that) exclusions for WinVNC (full path of WinVNC is "C:\program files\realvnc\VNC4\winvnc.exe) and then set exclusions for port 5600 under Windows Firewall. If you use other firewalls instead of Windows firewall (such as COMODO FW) its only a matter of setting winvnc.exe as a trusted application and then setting 5600 as part of your "priviledged port". If you use Zone Alarm firewall, uninstall Zone Alarm as it will interfere with you trying to connect to your DVR servers (except if you add your remote IP address in the "Trusted Zone", you will need to add every remote IP address from all of your locations into Trusted Zone within Zone Alarm which can really be a pain expecially if these remote IP address are dynamic and changes from time to time, just Uninstall Zone Alarm and use Windows Firewall). The Only NON Windows firewall that reliably works under a remote DVR application is COMODO Firewall. After you have Real VNC up and running properly on your DVR server, download and install the Real VNC viewer app for your iPhone, set the IP and Port and password and hit connect. Once connected it will give you screen level access to your iPhone, which means that what ever is being displayed on the computer screen at your DVR is what you will get to see on your iPhone screen, so if there is 4 channels being displayed you will see 4 little squares in your iPhone, to make any given channel full screen so you can see it better just double tap in your iPhone screen to maximize that window remotely so you can see if bigger and double tap again to return to normal quad view to select another channel to maximize. Hope this works. But everything that I just explained here are my theories that based on my previous experiences with RealVNC (not in an iPhone) and my expertise, I am almost 99% sure that it will work for you on your iPhone, only if there is a VNC viewer for the iPhone). Ill give it a shot, thanks for the info.

Whats a good iphone app to remotely veiw something like a dico800 dvr,i have geovision app but only works with gv ect..

" title="Applause" /> dico is some ok stuff, thanks for that hookup. I replaced that card with a gv-800 they like gv better.

It is a conexant 878a chipset on it.Are there any free dvr programs that can run on this unit?

Thanks for clearing that up

what is port 80 for?

Good point thanks

Thanks for the reply,we have comcast cable around here i think it is straight thru.Just went thru the modem and there is no place to set up port forwarding.I am currently using a sb5101 surfboard cable modem which is pretty much standard around here.My remote location has dsl,which is very unreliable.. Just trying to gather info before i make the switch to cable modem.So just basically connect to the cable modem remotely using the ip adress of the remote machine and dont have to worry about it being firewalled in the cable modem?

Was wondering i have dsl for remote view, had to set up dsl modem and ports for remote view ect...I want to switch to a cable modem which is more reliable.Does the cable modem have to be setup just like the dsl modem for remote view.?

No body around ?

Any other suggestions

Im not using ie to veiw im using the remote module to veiw via internet..(dsl)
