wfim Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I've a inspire blue cctv system, and have being trying to connect it to the internet via my BT homehub. When I connect it via a normal cat5e cable, it doesn't show on the Hubs, home network map. Am I using the right cable, and how should the port forwarding be set?

datadiffusion Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I don't know about the port forwarding, but Homehubs generally are VERY flakey about showing connected items, even when they work.  My parents have one at the moment since they have only just upgraded to Infinity, and both their network printers are completely invisible on the 'map' (but both work perfectly).  I assume you have set a fixed IP on the CCTV system and can browse to it locally? Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova-Security Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 If your trade plug your laptop in speak to cop who will tell you what software to download so they can set it up for you. Â Ports 80, 7050 Â BT hub general dont show them in the network map, look for the MAC code instead Quote www.nova-security.co.uk www.nsiapproved.co.uk No PMs please unless i know you or you are using this board with your proper name.

Lwillis Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 DVR must be setup as DCHP. Reboot both the router and the DVR Check again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfim Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) I've changed it to DHCP, and rebooted and it now is on the network map, I opened port 80 and 7050 and set them to TCP.  I've downloaded the app vMeye as according to the instructions and set the ip address to match the dvr, the port to 7050, but I'm still getting a Server Unavailable message Any Suggestions?

charlie6 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Basic question, is your server down as in 'help my broadband's not working'? I assume you are connecting cctv to the server via, on the first count, a dvr. What are the specs in relation to compatibility? and Admin2 has a very relevant question "...can you connect to the cctv locally?..."

charlie6 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 ".....Any Suggestions?..." yes, ensure that your server is communicating with you..you appear to be jumping ahead.. Try sending yourself a e-mail or whatever and qualify that the basic substance is intact before proceeding further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lwillis Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Try it with the wifi turned off on your phone. Some hubs don't like loopback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
