Hello all.   
  
I am a PC tech by trade, but encountering more and more CCTV service calls. Most issues are either end-users not studying manual or even knowing the capabilities of their systems, or remote view related (no or improper port forwarding/router setups, and, activeX issues on IE when remote viewing). 
  
Most of what I encounter are PC systems based on Pico, Kodicom clones, etc., or stand-alone units branded with names of companies that no longer exists (GVI anyone?). 
  
Always found myself at this site when googling issues, figured it's about time I register and pick the brains of some pros.
