    When you hit the "Monitor" button it shows the names of all the cameras and their status. I have some hidden cameras I would like to not show up on that list. Is there any way to do this?

    I think, there is no way to hide monitor status.

     

    Whats the point in having a hidden camera when it's so easily seen? Total flaw if you ask me.

    I won't sell a client anything but a dedicated computer to act as a DVR. I try to set it up to work as efficiently as possible. Here are some of the things I do. Any other suggestions to make the DVR work better?

     

    - Remove all "demo" programs and all other programs that are not used to run or view the system.

    - Change XP properties to "highest performance". Basically gets rid of all the pretty GUI stuff.

    - Remove all windows components that aren't needed, "i.e. outlook express, messenger, MSN, etc.)

    - Turn off screen saver

    - Set computer to "always on".

    - Defrag hard drive if needed.

     

    I'm sure there's more but I wanted to see what else you all do to increase effectiveness and performance of the system.

     

    Thanks!

    I am having problem with remote playback on a single computer. I can log in, and pull up the calendar of events but nothing happens when i click on an event to play it. this is only happening on a single computer.

     

    Any suggestions? Is there a way to clean out the components downloaded to that computer and let them reinstall or something?

     

    Thanks

    Hmmm...now it works! I still can't get images on my blackberry like I can with my other systems like this but I imagine that has something to do with the way it handles ports.

     

    Sal, let me know if you still want the IP. I can PM it to you.

     

    I sure got some great troubleshooting tips with this thread, thanks so much!

    try telnet the IP and port see what you get ... using the ISP Ip

     

    I tried it on a computer on the LAN using both LAN IP and WAN IP with no luck.

     

    Oops i didn't have webserver running. Able to get connected with LAN IP and WAN IP from a computer on the LAN

    sorry my inet was down all night, are you changing the port in the DVR software also ..?

     

    also put your ISP DNS Server info in that PCs 2 DNS Server boxes, at least we have to do that down here.

     

    I've changed the port in the DVR software to 81 which shows open. I'll check DNS server info. I'll try that right now.

    Have you set a static 192.168.xx.xx IP address on the dvr itself to assure that you are forwarding the ports to the correct machine?

     

    Yup. Traffic is definately heading to the correct machine. It seems as through there is a problem as soon as I change the default HTTP Port to anything besides the default 80.

     

    I'm stumped.

     

    The ipconfig on the DVR is as follows:

    IP: 192.168.1.101 (ports forwarded on router to this machine)

    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

    Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1

    OK, reset the router and was able to set forwarding to allow ports to be opened. Now when I try to access the dvr remotely (outside LAN) I'm getting a HTTP Error 403 Forbidden and Access Denied.

     

    Ug!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    Any suggestions? This is crazy. I've never had this trouble getting connected remotely.

    Thats a good tip above you can always enter 127.0.0.1 to test it on the dvr itself, whenever I used to do a demo or a presentation it means you can show the network options with only one computer.

     

    That doesn't work!?! I can reach the DVR using the LAN IP address of another computer on the network.

     

    Any suggestions as to why my router isn't opening ports?

    What Router is it?

     

    You tried all those ports?

     

    Also, does the MultiCam thing work, not the browser, the regular software ..

     

    what in the world? I still get "stealth" on all the opened ports, even when forwarded. Its a linksys BEFW11S4.

     

    The regular software works fine. I can use it from computer to computer in my LAN. I can't figure out why the ports aren't showing open. I'm using the "Forwarding" section of the router.

    The first thing to do here is to test the web cam view locally on the dvr itself...just put the name of the dvr in IE i.e. http://dvrname. If this does not work, than it may be an issue with the dvr itself.

     

    Some other things to check:

     

    is Windows Firewall running on the dvr?

     

    Is Windows Firewall running on the machine you are trying to connect from?

     

    Are all activex set to prompt or enable in IE security settings of browser?

     

    let me know

     

    sal

    It works fine over the LAN.

    Windows firewall off on all computers

    Active X enabled

    I'm sure I'm missing something stupid here.

     

    My internet provider blocks port 80 so I moved to port 81 for the webserver. When I do that and then enter the IP address with :81 port designation I get a "403 forbidden, access denied" error. what gives?

     

    I tried multiple ports with the same results.

     

    Any suggestions?

    What do I need to do to view a Geovision system over a Blackberry 7100T (T-mobile)? Right now I get a blank screen when I log in to a camera. The only thing I can actually see if the "video lost" screen when a camera is down.

     

    Am I missing something. I'm in a gmrs area.

     

    thanks

    Wahloon, do you have any expirience with direct burial cables?

    Interesting Cooperman. Please PM me some links and prices, since I don't think I can find those here in Israel. By the way, I currently reading something about using fiber for underwater vehicles equiped with cctv cameras, and it seems to become a standard in these kind of applications.

     

    I was talking about using "flooded" direct burial cable. I would use direct burial fiber. It has a thick outer casing with two fiberglass rods that run down the length of the cable. It is "flooded" with a gelatinous material. You shouldn't have any problem with the fiber in this application. You would have to break the fiberglass rods well before you would damage the fiber.

     

    Berk-tek has this type of cable.

    XXX, Sorry if I misunderstood what you're trying to do. I know it really sucks to be misunderstood.

     

    Please understand that the internet is full of people with "off center" objectives. However, being a person wiring the perimeter of his house with cameras, I can't claim to be a mainstream type, myself.

     

    Even if your goals are not malicious, it's possible for others to use the same information that's posted here for less peaceful purposes. I think the points made by others in this tread support that concern.

     

    For the most part, technology has advanced the quality of our lives. However, I think we've seen a lot of evidence lately that it can also be used to *degrade* the quality of our lives.

     

    That's where I'm coming from in a nutshell. Peace to you!

     

    It's all good!

    It could be easily done with a wireless video/audio sender off the video/monitor output of the dvr. Not a good way to do it because of security (or the lack thereof) issues.

     

    A remote desktop using 802.11x would also work just fine. Clarity could be an issue, but it would work.

     

    Actually, many police forces have high speed internet in their squad cars. If that was the case, then it is just a matter of giving them whatever access you wanted them to have. Using a web client they could just then log in. I know a city near me has high speed access capability including fairly large monitors in all thier squad cars.

     

    Another option is what you saw was staged for television.

    Group hugs .... not sure about that one, us Brits are famous for the 'stiff upper lip'.

     

    Maybe cyber hand shakes all round might be the way to go

     

    Sounds good to me. I have no problem if admin wants to delete this thread. I never got what I was looking for anyway. Maybe I should have asked for a camera that would fit on the end of a telescope so I can view the beautiful expanse of the heavens. Would that be more politically correct?

     

    The reality of it is there are many more threads on this forum that could be more harmful than asking about a scope camera. It doesn't take much creativity to take the information we share and use it for detrimental purposes. Should the whole forum be taken down then? I don't think so. There's probably more harm done on this board to individuals by trade secrets and pricing that are given out than this thread.

     

    Just my .02

     

    Like I said, "kill" this post, but I'm not going to eat it!
