jjash Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hi, Are you able to help me I have recently had Alien DVR fitted in my house. I would like to connect to my router and be able to view footage over the internet. The instructions in the manual I have found reasonabley tricky and been unable to get a connected. The installer bought the equpiptment from system Q but obviously unless your a trade member you cant get access to there site for help. The install was quite cheap, well so he told me as I ran all the cables, but he told me I would need to do the network setup as he does not do this because of problems with peoples computers. Anyway I use Virgin media and have broadband connection through a netgear wireless router. I have a Dell laptop that I connect to the internet wirelessly with. I have connected the DVR to the hub with a patch cable and assigned an ip address, then tried to connect via my laptop after installing the software. does the laptop need to also be connected with a network patch cable? Also how do I acess the dvr via the internet? it's all got a bit complicated. Can anyone give me a very simple step by step on how to get the system set up so I can view it on the internet. Regards JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adi Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 how much did you pay and what did you get for that? if you pay for an install, you should get the complete install, not part of it. Is he a chancer, sparky, diyer I really can't be ar**** with it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubit Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 any good? That's what happens when typing on phone Translated it would be demo unit, same ISP (Virgin Media), funnily enough, use Dell lappy to log in, too. For what they cost, not too bad a unit. The built in screen is very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjash Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hi Thanks for all your help I am getting close to getting this all to work now, but still can't login, I open the DVR/DVS software up on an external machine and the login fails even though I have all password login and port set correctly. I have a netgear router WNR2000v2 with 2 port forwarding services setup on 2000 and 8080 for internet. I then type in my external ip:8080 the software comes up I type in login password and port 2000 then can't login. The only thing I noticed was when I was checking all ports it said it could see the ports but was unable to ping them. I think am almost there so any help to finally crack this would be much appreciated. Thanks JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why port 2000??? From memory i'm sure these default to port 8000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
