Thank you, I'll give that a go

The same problem has occurred today. It used to be every couple of months or so but now seems to be every few days.

After your comment I've checked the power supply which is 12v 2.0a

Are there any other ideas to help me resolve?

Thank you for the reply.

It's a hikvision ds7204 and a 1tb purple drive. You're right in your recollection, the error is hd not found.

Bumping this as I have exactly the same problem, did you ever get to the bottom of it?

Sometimes a reboot won't fix it and I have to slave the drive in my pc and re format

Hi,

I have a DS7204 recorder that regularly seems to stop recording, I notice this when I try and use the playback feature and it says 'no record file' after a reboot it works again, but this is really annoying me - especially if I'm off site and I don't have access to reboot the box (a boot from in the gui has no effect)

Can anyone suggest what the problem could be please?

Thank you for the reply, any particular model you would recommend?

Hi

I've just purchased three 700tvl cameras with the Sony effio e+673 chipset and am looking for a dvr

The above seems to have the features I am interested in including motion detection, push notification and alarm inputs, but at £89 it 'seems' very cheap, reviews are thin on the ground so I'd appreciate some advice before I buy.

Have you set port forwarding on the router? Have you confirmed the port numbers are set in the camera config?

Have you tried using the internet ip and port number instead of the DNS address and port number?

Thanks for everyone's suggestions, I have at last managed to resolve this and access the cameras via the web using the port numbers.

Thanks for that, I have used the correct address with port number, but it doesn't work from work - I'm wondering if that port is blocked by my company?

 

 

 

 

Check whether IP address of the IP Camera shares the same subnet as your PC .

Yes it's the same subnet, I'm thinking it must be blocked somehow...

Don't know of anywhere else I could test it from - maybe an internet cafe or wifi in a coffee shop?

Thanks for that, I have used the correct address with port number, but it doesn't work from work - I'm wondering if that port is blocked by my company?

Thanks again for helping.

I've now setup the router and the camera to use the same port number, this works locally over my network, but still doesn't work over the web using the dyndns address : port number

Any ideas?

I got it from Note-Parts2009 on eBay, who says it is a genuine Foscam, and the software looks the same as seen on Foscams website, I've also been in touch with Foscam and they've checked my firware version - and didn't mention it was a hooky camera.

I've set up static IP's on the camera

And my DDNS provider is DYNDNS - the link to which works fine and I'm able to see both cameras through IE, but I can't browse to them using the port number.

Thanks for the info, I've done as you said, but it still won't let me browse to my camera via the port number from the web

Not sure what a DVR is either? Is that a recorder? I only have two foscams with built in web servers

Do I need to set a port in the Foscam? At the minute that's set to 80

The other slightly worrying thing is that my router is going bonkers and the speed of my Internet is now at a crawl, could that be the cameras?

I'm on Sky, the router is a D-Link DSL2640s

Thanks again!

They have internal web servers.

You can specify the port on the camera, and also on the Firewall in the router - so not sure where I should specify what - sorry, I've tried the Foscam helpline but it's quite hard going

Thanks

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I can browse to the camera with the local address/portnumber without a problem

But when trying to access with the dyndns address/portnumber nothing!

I have a Sky router, does anyone have a screen shot or setup guide to show me where I might be going wrong?

Hi! New member here....

I'm after some help as I'm really confused

I have two Foscam outdoor cameras

I've set my DYNDNS up - that seems ok

I've set my cameras up and entered the port number as 8001 on one and 8002 on the other - that seems ok

I've created Firewall rules to allow in and outbound traffic on these ports

But! When I browse to http://mydnsaddress/dyndns.whatever:portnumber

It times out.

I've tried this from home and work with the same results - thinking work block this port

Can anyone help please?
