I am going mad with internet viewing...help!!!

Recommended Posts

I have a 4ch dvr with an avtech chipset.

 

I have already connected it to my LAN and I am able to access it via Internet Explorer on my local network by entering it's IP address and its port

 

I am trying to setup internet viewing, by doing the following steps:

 

1. In the Network settings of my DVR I've setuped Static IP Address, etc, Port = 4567

2. In my router I am forwarding port 4567 to the IP address of the dvr for TCP protocol.

3. In dyndns I've setup a new domain and updated it with my WAN IP.

4. If i type in Internet explorer the domain of my dyndns service I get to the page of my router.

5. If I add myport (:port) I get an error for page not found.

6. I've tested with various DNS tools and it shows that port 4567 is open for my WAN IP.

 

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

 

Have also tried:

- Setting various ports including 8080, 80 etc with no result

- Setting as primary and secondary dns server on the dvr the dns servers of my ISP

Also tried all the above with:

- A different DVR

- A different Router

 

No results. Cant view the dvr from the internet. What am I doing wrong?

What type of internet service are you using?

Is your wan IP in the router?

What happens if you use your wan IP :port#?

Are trying to connect from your Lan through the Wan?

 

List your installed devices:-

I had the exact same problem and had almost given up on it...

 

until....

 

I went to a buddies house and typed in the address from his PC and found that the internet remote viewing was actually working.

 

As was mentioned above, some routers do not allow you to go out and back in from the internet, so you may be getting a page cannot be displayed when trying to access the remote display from the same location as the DVR.

 

Hope this helps...

 

Best regards.

Some ISP's will not let you go out and come back in on the same connection.

 

Very typical with DSL.

 

???

 

This is true. Try it from work, or a neighbor's house.

 

Your ISP may also be blocking incoming port 80 requests to keep you from running servers on your home connection... some do that on residential connections.

Thank you guys. You've saved me. It was that simple. I've just needed to check it from outside my lan.
