9651 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Well if I don't ask i wont know right?....! With regards to setting up a DNS service for a DVR, on a site with a dynamic Ip, I go to no-ip or whatever, set up a host etc. That bit I get. Then I enable it in the DVR, add the host name/passwords etc. Question is, do i also need to add it into the router settings, or is the DVR updating the ip address to the DNS host?

Lwillis Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 If its in the dvr then you should be fine. I've had it in either and not had any issues. Make sure the ports are forwarded correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9651 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Thought so Looking at most of the DVRs we fit/deal with most have the DNS facility. I've actually got mine at home mine up and running for a few months no problem, with ports forwarded etc it was just that with a dynamic address i needed to set up a fixed host. Its actually straight forward! To be honest remote viewing is only something we are getting into as the last gaffer was a bit of a dinosaur in that respect. Stupid really!. Only minefield i can see is port forwarding on weird domestic routers being an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lwillis Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Only routers I'd say watch out for is BT HOME HUB . They work but can be a pain to setup. Everything else is fine. Who's DVR's are you using ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew.brough Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I used to have a real fetish for Draytek routers but I have had nothing but greif using their routers with FTTC. Firmware after firmware update and still issues. ADSL rock solid. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firmware after firmware update and still issues. ADSL rock solid. Cracking bits of kit Draytek. Can't comment with regards to FTTC though. They're also a breeze to setup in comparison to most others - including the bog standard netgears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's DVR's are you using ? Really? IMO they are the easy ones, I've set up 3 whilst messing about in the last few months with no real issues!? That's a HH3/2 and an old school white one with no issues I can think of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
