    I am a newbie on this stuff, so I am trying what yall say and trying different things.

     

    Is there any problem with converting a BNC to RCA and running it direct to a TV? will there be single loss? If it is direct to one tv no splitting do I need any thing else besides the adapter?

     

    There is no problem converting BNC to RCA and running it to one TV.

    You can just use one of these. No additional equipment is required.

    First thing you need to do is list what brand and model card you're trying to use so that someone might be able to help you.

     

    Most DVR cards work with the software that was provided with it, there really isn't any need to check device manager as long as you follow the directions that it came with unless it didn't, in that case I will simply send it back.

     

    Some cards require the installation of the software first before physically installing the card.

    Do you think a distributor amp will make that big of a difference? If I switched the 100 foot cable for a 10 foot cable with separate power would that help? thanks

     

    There is no problem with the cable.

     

    Yes a amp will make a big difference. The problem you're experiencing results mainly from low signal.

     

    I've split video feeds with standard splitters and had no problems in some cases.

    Try powering the DVR and the cameras from the same AC outlet.

     

    In theory, that shouldn't matter, as the power tranformers isolate the cameras from the DVR power ground. unless, of course, the camera chasis is attached to an earth ground...

     

    I think Its worth a try.

     

    I've had situations were cameras was powered locally using Isolated Transformers and still had image distortion and looping.

    Color is poor. A lot of noise (in a well lit room) for what i thought was an ok camera.

     

    I have a Sony SSCE473

     

    The camera is being powered by a class 2 transformer : MGT2420

     

    I think part of the problem might be that I am running the video and power through a 100' combined cable. Then I have it split into 2 RCAs running one to each TV. 130 feet to travel is that too much? Any advice that isn't too expensive would be great. Thanks in advance.

     

    I've used many of these with great images, no problems.

     

    What type of cable "100' combined cable" are you referring to?

    Right... Confused!!!

     

    In that case the wan IP address will be 192.168.2.64 that is the address i managed to see the DVR on through IE in work

    Does this make a difference?

     

    Exactly as I taught.

     

    As mentioned before you need to change the settings in the modem and the router for this to work, 10Min tops.

     

    You will need to be at the site to make these changes.

    Just to add....

     

    I just tried pinging the DynDns account i set up...

    phoenixcctv.isa-geekDOTnet it found the address because it came up with the correct ip address 79.71.156.163 but it timed out......

     

    Any clues???

     

    Your problem is with your setup.

     

    You need to set your DSL Modem to bridge mode and input your DSL User Name and Password in PPPOE settings n the router.

     

    Again i'm sure if you check the wan IP on the router it would be a 192.168.......

    ok, the questions are..

     

     

    Q1. What is the problem you're having?

    A. I cant remote access the DVR

     

    Q2. What Internet connection type are you using?

    A. ADSL modem and Belking router as above. currently on a dynamic

    IP, should change to static on thursday

     

    Q3. Is the public IP address set in the router?

    A. The public ip address (from ipchicken) is 79.71.156.163

     

    Q4. Are you able to connect to the DVR locally through the client and IE?

    A. Yes i am to both.

     

    I am now at home, I cant even ping my work address!!

    When i type in the address bar i put: with the H T T P & : & / & /in front

    79.71.156.163:3333 IS THIS CORRECT????

     

    Thanks for your help

    Desperate!

     

    On the status page of the belkin. what is the wan IP Address?

     

    Forget about Ip Chicken for now.

    CANT GET THE LINK TO POST...

     

    google RAYSHARP D6009

     

    it comes up on a website called reliabledvr

    The current setting i have in the dvr are..

    ip add 192.168.2.45

    subnet 255.255.255.0

    gateway 192.168.2.1

    dns1 149.0.0.0

    dns2 0.0.0.0

    port 3333

     

    I am using a belkin router. model number F5D7230-4

    i have tried putting the 192.168.2.45 IP IN THE dmz

    firewall is open to 3333

     

    I am waiting for a static ip from my isp,(thursday) but my current dynamic ip has not changed in several weeks so i am cheating at telling it i have a static ip at the moment. could that be the problem due to subnet being different?

     

    I am going away on holiday soon and really need to get this up and running urgently. Any help would be greatly appreciated

     

    I think you need to start from the beginning.

     

    1. What is the problem you're having?

    2. What Internet connection type are you using?

    3. Is the public IP address set in the router?

    4. Are you able to connect to the DVR locally through the client and IE?

    1.You can use what ever port you like, but I recommend not using port 80.

     

    2. In order to access the DVR through a web browser like IE the unit needs to have a built in web server.

     

    I wasn't able to find any info on that unit so I'm not sure what it's capabilities are, maybe you can post some specs or further info.

     

    Where are all these different brands popping up from?

    Depends on which DNS you're using, DynDns doesn't have a port redirect for the free accounts.

     

    I use no-ip.com and setup the DNS as a port redirect and it works great.

     

    This has only been done on PC systems where I have the client update running, never tried it on any standalones.

     

    P.S. There is no need to setup the DNS in the DVR's, use the settings in the router for the DNS and make sure your ports are forwarded properly.

    If you're using a linksys router, Disable Block WAN Request under the Security/Firewall settings Page.

     

    Post The Settings from the Network Setup Tab of the server.

     

    It is a Netgear FVS 318. I will post the settings in a bit

     

    If you like, I can try and connect and see if it is any diffrent, just PM me the IP and a Temp User Name and Password.

     

    Did you try connecting thru the VPN?

     

    We don't use the VPN, whomever sold my friend this equipment ripped them off, they had no need for the VPN. For the price they paid for this I could have set them up with a nice Sonicwall, but I was not available att he time when the FVS was installed. Previously they had a basic DLink router which worked just fine. I would rather use the port forwarding. They are looking for a quick way to connect when someone breaks in, they want to be able to move the cameras around and view who it is (they get cell phone alerts)

     

    Another thing to try is to change the Web Server Port to something other than 80, because sometimes Port 80 is blocked by default from the ISP and some equipment.

     

    I normaly use 9090 which works for me and makes the port forwarding setup much easier with 1 range of 9090-9112

     

    Did you try anything I mentioned before?
