Hi, thanks for the PM, I will try that tomorrow as its getting late.

Quick question...the guy in the video tutorial changes his "Server IP" & "Web Port" in the device list whilst the other tutorial keeps the default ones, does this matter?

Okay, so i've successfully connected locally through the program, IE & the EagleEyes app.

I shall resume tomorrow and try to setup remote surveillance. The tutorial i'm followings says I should sign up to a free account with dynDNS but it seems to be charging now, can anyone recommend a alternative?

thanks

I received my cable this morning so shall be attempting this later this evening.

I want to be able to view my cams on my iPhone or laptop away from home, would I still need to follow that video tutorial you posted as I think that way is only viewable whilst connected to your home network.

I've also downloaded the EagleEyes app.

i'll be ordering a 8m cable, the router is on the other side of the room as the DVR.

I have Virgin Media Superhub

I did a quick skim read and it looks complicated

I'll be ordering a longer ethernet cable now I know it can be done.

Out of a mark out of 10, how hard would you say it to set up if a complete novice was to do it?

Hi, thanks for replying. Are there any guide on how to set it up?

Hi, im a complete newbie so bear with me

We've had a DVR that has 4 cameras connected to it for over a year, I've recently saw similar setups but with the inclusion of being able to view the camera on a laptop or smartphone. Ive also seen seen simple "IP Cams" that have straight forward setup but id rather have my existing DVR setup.

I took a look behind my DVR and noticed a ethernet port and within the settings i saw "Network" settings, within those settings there were Network type, DNS and Port.

Ive seen cheap ethernet cables that'll reach from my router to my DVR but thought i'd check to see if it was possible first.

I cant see a make or model for the DVR cause it just says "4CH MPEG-4 DVR" on the front and the back says "4CH DVR/60-VD-B".

heres a picture

Is it possible?
