    Hey guys

     

    I rather hastily installed a CCTV system a few months ago before I had my first little one, the reason for this was because I was doing some decorating / d.I.y in the house and wanted to sink any wires.

     

    Anyway I have nearly come to the end of the decorating and install of my cameras and I wanted to know if I hide the DVR How would I operate it?

     

    Thanks

    hello.....

     

    I have managed to view my cameras over the internet using my PC - Hurray!!!

     

    However I have Iphone, Ipad and Blackberry so I would like to set it up for this.

     

    I have a question is the i.p address I used for the remote viewing over the internet (which was the one in Settings - > Network of my DVR) the same as I would use in Eagle Eyes app?

     

    I don't think it is, I would really appreciate ANY help. I have emailed Avtech - but no response and therefore I am stuck

     

     

    hi. you need to use your external ip. you will see it if you click here http://www.whatismyip.com/

     

    most of the time you cant use your external while you are on that network ... only away from home

     

    Ok I tried that and it is still saying I.P address not accessible could there be anything else I am doing that would be incorrect?

     

    I am using Port 80, I have tried changing to 88 or something like that no luck....

     

    I am also using the user name and password as admin?

     

    Anything I am missing.....?

    Everytime I try to connect to the cameras via my Iphone it says the I.P Address is not accessible

    If you tell me which brand of router are you using, i can prepare some instructions for you.

     

    But, if you only have this dvr, probably can keep the default port 80, without the need to do portforwarding.

     

    Most important, is to select the right network connection on dvr, and activate the ddns if you don't have a static ip.

    Thank you very much Leo.

     

    I have the Sky Sagemcom F@ST2304 router.

     

    Yes I only have this DVR

     

    Also I do not have a static ip....I did sign up for ddsn but I have no idea what that does either.....

     

    Thanks

    Hi Miyagi,

     

    How to do the port forwarding depends of your router. Need to enter the configuration menu of the router and enable a port for your dvr.

     

    Usually you can do that in "port forwarding" or "virtual server" area.

     

    You write the local ip of your dvr and select the port or port range.

    Hi Leohuangdi

     

    Do you have any step by step instructions please? Or know where I can find some?

     

    I have absolutely NO idea how to even approach doing this! To be honest I dont understand it clearly enough.

     

    Thanks very much.

    Hi Guys

     

    I recently bought an Avtech KPD674 DVR.

     

    I seem to have got the hang of it, although about 4 weeks ago it kept powering down and reseting about once every 2.5 mins.

     

    I took it back to where I bought it from and they apparently sent it back to the manufacturer who tested it for over a week and found no problems?

     

    I got it back just over a week ago and it started doing the same thing....does anyone know what the problem might be please?

    Black is black because it doesn't reflect light. That includes IR light.

     

    Well, what I actually mean is I should be able to see the outline of my car and more importantly see if someone is vandalising it.....

     

    Add some spacing (block of wood or something) to bring it lower so the roofline isn't in the FOV.

     

    I see what you mean, I dont think it will be possible (to get it perfect) as the roofline from the garage potrudes out, so some of my car is always going to be obscured by it, if I choose to have the camera so high.

     

    I could put the camera on the soffit of the garage but it would only be about 7 foot high there and with the IR LED's it would be clearly visible for the nasty person who decided to scratch my car, what do you think?

     

    All abit difficult without seeing a picture of my house I know......tomorrow I will definately upload some pics.

     

    Typical of many bargain-basement online stores.

     

    Yea they sold me a pretty sh1tty HDD recorder too imo (the remote control is absolutely useless) but I guess I had to start somewhere.....

    Thanks for the responses guys.

     

    I think you could be correct that the roof is causing the IR to be reflected (thats what I had thought to be honest)

     

    I just don't know where else I can put the camera that is convenient, ideally I'd like to put it on the other side of the house, but running the wire into my house is the issue then.

     

    Anyway I didnt get out of work early enough today, so tomorrow I will take pics and post them.

     

    But you don't think it should be a problem to see a black car in the night? the company I bought the cameras from didnt really seem to know much to be honest?

    Hello Everyone!

     

    I"m new and was hoping for some help.

     

    Recently I installed a CCTV system and to my suprise my car got vandalised in a blind spot on my drive.

     

    So I installed a IR Dome Vandal Proof Camera 420 ----> http://wmestore.co.uk/ir-varifocal-dome-vandal-proof-camera.html

     

    I have installed it on the soffits at the front corner of my house.

     

    Beneath the camera is my garage (where my car in parked in front of) however my garage has a small roof as it has been extended so basically the direct line of the camera is obscured slightly by the tile roof of my garage.

     

    Now the problem I have is during the day the camera works fine but during the night my camera shows hardly anything the image is very bright (white) as if it is bleached and also I cannot see my car (which is black). I assume that my car was vandalised during the night.

     

    I do have IR sensor coach lamps on either side of my garage so it does give off some light but I don't think its anywhere enough.

     

    I'm wondering if there is anything I can do and whether the tile roof could be causing the issue?

     

    Thanks in advance.....
