Hi - looks like a lot of great help and info is here! Hope someone can help me with a few basic questions. I have an 8-camera Optivision DVR/NVR which is working fine, I can access the system directly or via IP address on my home network.
My problem seems to be with remote access via DNS. I would expect to be presented with the DVR login screen. Instead, I get a page offering to sell me a domain name - which my vendor was supposed to do last year.
1. Does anyone know anything about the Optivision DVR? Who makes it, etc?
2. I was supposedly registered at 'myname'.dvrdyns.com for a remote access url.
3. Port Forwarding is set up for the DVR in my router for a specific dedicated IP on my network. I can see that device when I ping (good pings)
it and also when scanning devices.
4. SO far, basic tests on my domain name show it to be working and active, but has SOA alerts, which I gather to be Start of Authority. The tests also report some weird IP addresses which I don't recognize, and connected to something called ns2.parkingcrew.net.
Thanks for any info to help me figure this out, while I WAIT for my installer tech to be near my neighborhood![/size]
