james.wilson Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 when you say web browser do you mean being able to browse the web from the dvr or, to use a web interface only to connect to it? securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Johnny Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Just looking for something that you dont need a ip address, so a customer can put a web address into a laptop if he is abroad , log on with a passcode and view his cameras. Hope this helps. Johnny......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Your not asking for the right thing then, your meaning you want to use a domain name to access instead of an IP. But personally i wouldnt put many dvr's out there on a public port 80, what is it you use? securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Im so sorry im not computer literate and i'm ' not asking for the right thing then' but I was at a local wholesaler today and they had one but I thought it was a bit expensive so all Im asking does anyone use one and point us in the right direction to get hold of one.

james.wilson Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Fair enough i didnt mean it as you read it. I was trying to assist in your search, either way it isnt a function of the hardware. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Johnny Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 I know you were trying to help but Ive never got into giving a customer's access to his or hers camera's while they are away, so its just a learning curve for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masonc Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I believe what you are asking for is web accessible DVR. Most DVRs have that feature. However, you will have to know how to provide access through the internet, through the firewall using port forwarding, and how to secure the device so only the appropriate user can see the cameras. I would be careful here, make sure you test that access by others is not possible. If this is all greek, you need someone with networking experience to set that up.

Johnny Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Thanks for your reply: A guy who works in a local wholesaler has took one home to get know how the one there selling works so when he has it up and running he will go through everything with me. All I know is that you can put a web address into your browser and you will be asked for a password which will allow you to view your cameras.
