I've been trying to setup my remote viewing of my cameras using webdvr and have had no luck cause I think my ISP is blocking port 80. I have port forwarded all the correct ports 80, 81, 8080-8090 and my firewall is turned off. And I'm using dyndns. I can see the log in page but when I try to log in I get web connection failed. What else can I try? Is there any free web hosting that I can host these?

If you are able to connect to http://your.dyndns.domain it means that ISP is NOT blocking port 80

 

try to test the connection from computer located on same network, preferably connected to same switch

 

you do not need any webhosting or anything like that

I can connect to my dydns page and I even get the dvr log in page. The problem is when I try to actually connect I get Connection failed. Eventhough locally it works.

Do you have Kodicom Standalone DVR or PC-based system?

What model and make is router?

How exactly your Internet connection is working? what else boxes are in the chain?

If you have something like phone box it might interfere.

Somewhere in menu (I think Connection on Remote tabs) you should find Network settings.

Double-check all port's you've opened, maybe change port 80 to something else in the menu or in file httpd.conf located under c:\apache

I've had similar problems with PC-Based Kodicom, but just couldn't remember what was the exact cause.

My DVR is PC based. I have a Netgear WNR2000 router. I'm using cable internet from modem to router nothing special, pretty basic connection. I don't have phone box. Maybe I'll try changing port 80.

Port 80 might be used for router management.

Try to change either router management port or DVR port

 

 

Thank you so much! I got it working. It was the damn router management port. As soon as I changed that to a different port number it worked!

My pleasure

 

 

Crap I spoke to soon. I got it working from my windows mobile device using the diginet pda software. Connecting to my dyndns address. But when I try connecting to the same address from a browser remotely I get a connection failed. It doesn't make sense.

check DVR's default gateway settings if there is any

 

double check all forwarded ports

 

put your DVR in DMZ

 

make sure there is http:// header in URL

 

check whether you are able to connect to IP address

 

test from another network/ISP

 

try to access by loopback - connecting to ip from same network - some routers allow that and some don't so do research on yours.

 

try to reset the router and make all settings again

 

try another router
