Re: Setting upp security camera via DVR

Hi,
First post hope you can help, i have a Swann DVR4-4000 security system which uses remote viewing via swanns live view app , when i am using my home wifi it works a dream but soon as i try too log on using another wifi or via 3G network i get server failiure.
I am trying to connect to port 9000 but don't have a clue how to set it up, i have looked at the port forwarding page on the routers advanced setting but there is nothing for the swann dvr or port 9000.
I am desperate to get this thing set any simple advice would be amazing.
Many thanks in advance
Leigh

Setting upp security camera via DVR

Hi all,
12 months ago I bought a Swann Securanet 4/9 Channel DVR to which I have a camera attached.
Allegedly I caN connect it to the internet and view the camera picture (for example from work).
I must have tried all sorts but cannot get it to work. I have followed the instructions and have looked at 'www.portforwarding.com' about the bt home hub 2 but the instructions dont match what happens in reality.
Even the supplier (swann) referred me to portforwarding.com!
Has anyone else managed to sort this out?
Any help will be appreciated.
   regards
   Swiss-tony

Keith, still having problems.
Equipment trying to connect - Swann Securanet 4/9 Channel DVR
Router is a BT Home Hub 2
Network settings on the DVR:-
MAC ADDRESS                <00:11:22:33:44:55>
IP ALLOCATION              [ DHCP ]
IP ADDRESS                   <192.168.1.71>
SUBNET MASK                <255.255.255.0>
GATEWAY                     <192.168.1.254>
DNS1 ADDRESS               <192.168.1.254>
DNS2 ADDRESS               <0.0.0.0>
HTTP PORT                    [   80]
I set up the port by accessing the router and following the instructions at:-
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/BT/BTHomeHub2/default.htm
by selecting, Settings, Advanced Settings, Application Sharing, Supported Applications, Add new game or application.
I entered a name (Laxey Cam) and entered the port (80) in the 4 boxes. I left TCP as it was and left the last box empty.
The instructions fell apart when I selected the ‘Configuration’ page:-
In the select game or application I selected Laxey Cam. However, the selected device drop down box had a lot of mac addresses. There were 4 others but I don’t know what they are. managed to allocate <00.11.22.33.44.55> to 192.168.1.71.
tried to access 109.148.248.205 (from whatsmyip.com) with :8080 and .8080 and :80 and .80 but no luck.
  Any ideas. is there anything else you need to know?

Re: Lorex Security Camera with Linksys WRT320n Setup Help

I setup a Lorex security camera system that allows for to view them via remote acces. I am able to view them through the local network but not via outside network connection. I believe lies within the network settings that i have in place. I have tried to apply the port forwarding settings but still not able to. If someone has this type of system setup or know where to point me I would appreciate the help. The default web port is 80 and the TCP port 6100.

1) I assume that you have set your security camera to a fixed (static) LAN IP address -- is this correct?
2) And that you are forwarding the appropriate port to that address -- is that correct?
Rules for using fixed LAN IP addresses on Linksys routers:
With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer , printer, or camera, not in the router. This is the best way to assign a fixed LAN IP address. In your WRT320N, there is an alternative method --- you could use the "DHCP reservation" method to assign your camera the same fixed LAN IP address each time you boot up your network.
When using a Linksys router, normally, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255. However, if you are using "DHCP reservation" your camera's address should be within the DHCP server range.
Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would normally need to be in the range of
192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
assuming you are still using the default DHCP server range.
Also, in the computer, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 and "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1
It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.
Also note that many cameras cannot use the proxy DNS server located at 192.168.1.1 . In this case, enter your true Internet DNS server address (found in the router) into you camera.

T1114 4g router with security camera setup?

Has anyone been able to set up security cameras with the 4G LTE Broadband Router with Voice model T1114 ? I have been talking to Verizon, Foscam and Novotel and I am getting absolutely no where. I'd hate to have to keep my DSL service just because of my security cameras, but at this point it's looking like that may be a possibility. If anyone has a solution or guidance, I'd appreciate it.

> is that a complicated work around or is it fairly simple?
Its simple in design, but could be complicated to configure and maintain depending on your network comfort level. Considering your goal is to access cameras and not a PC you will need the assistance of an additional VPN router. Setup the Jetpack(or USB modem) to act like a modem and link him to a VPN router with a wireless bridging feature. From there you configure the VPN router to automatically connect to your desired VPN server as long as the Jetpack is online and providing a connection.
The setup would look something like this:
- VZW ))) Jetpack ))) VPNRouter === Cam1
- VZW ))) Jetpack ))) VPNRouter === Cam2
- VZW ))) Jetpack ))) VPNRouter === Cam3
- etc
If the cameras happen to be wireless then the VPN router should be able to accommodate those connections too, but I wouldn't recommend relying on wireless any more than you need to considering how much is going on already.
VPN connectivity is a feature on some more advanced home routers and can also be re-flashed on others with the use of custom firmware. DD-WRT can enable this functionality for free if you happen to have a compatible router lying around that supports wireless bridging. VZW does not offer any products for you that can do this so you will have to look elsewhere.
Wireless bridging is the process of connecting one router to another over WiFi. On devices that support this functionality there is generally a mode called "Bridge mode", "AP mode" or something along those lines that can enable the configurations for you. From there you would need to decide if you want the device to perform only as a bridge and Ethernet cable connect the cameras or perform a "repeater" function and rebroadcast the Jetpacks signal to the cams.
The goal being to get everything that requires remote access to automatically connect to the chosen VPN server. That way whenever you want to remotely connect and view the cameras all you need is a way to connect to the VPN server where everything is resting. All you should have to do from there is keep the Jetpack/USB modem online and everything else will take care of itself from there.

Security Camera / DVR

Trying to monitor my security camera on my dvr,…all mobile apps work fine but can't seem to get mac / SMS to connect with all the same settings,any other software for Mac for dvr monitoring,…running OSX Lion 10.7.5 ? Thanks Joe P.

Airport 802.11n 3rd generation, 5.6.1
Time Capsule version 7.6.4
Just want to be sure. Do you have both a 3rd generation 802.11n AirPort Extreme base station and ? generation Time Capsule? ... or just a 3rd generation Time Capsule?
If both how are they configured with each other? Regardless, what is the make & model of your Interent modem?
What are the ports, both UDP & TCP, that Samsung says are required for their DVR in order to access it from the Internet?

Set security preferences via GPO

Hi
Is there a way to set either security policy in Acrobat via GPO, so all a user would have to do is select:
Tools > Protection > Encrypt > select premade security policy (password protected)
Or a way to set the Adobe PDF printer preferences with Adobe PDF Security as 'Use the last known security preferences' with predefined settings via GPO.
We need to set up security on 100 or so acrobats and I am struggling to find a way to do this.
Thanks

Well if you can point me to this registry key i would appreciate it.
Applying the security settings via 'print to pdf' via gpo would be really handy right about now.
I managed to find a security file (security-policy.acrodata) that contains the details of security policies, I managed to copy this to another pc and the policy was displayed in adobe. However it doesn't save the password and a password must be entered manually.
Also I don't think the above would work for Acrobat 8 (we use both versions 8 and 10) and it doesn't make the security policy I create as the only favourited one as default.

Instructions for setting WRT54GS security to WPA2? Can't find them anywhere.

Hi,
I'm an amateur at this, so please excuse this load of ignorant questions.
I have 2 PC clients, both Dell Dimensions 3.2GHz 1GB RAM, Wireless-G adapters. OS is Windows XP SP2
The router is a Linksys WRT54GS. I'm using the wireless ports only, at least when I'm not modifying the security settings. Then I use a temporary cable to connect one of the PC's to the router.
I also have a TiVo DVR series 3 with a wireless adapter.
The router came with a copy of Linksys Advisor. When I ran this software I was able to set the security level to WPA-Personal. However I could find no option to set the level to WPA2.
I know the TiVo supports WPA2 because I saw the option when I was configuring it for WPA-personal.
My question(s):
Why doesn't EasyLink Advisor have an option to set the security level to WPA2? Is it just deficient, or does it check to see if the client PCs support WPA2 and disable the option if they don't?
How would I go about checking if my PCs support WPA2?
Finally, if I have to set the security to WPA2 manually, what is the procedure for doing this?
It's pretty easy to see how this can be done on the router's little web server pages; but as soon as I set the security to WPA2 there, I'm going to lose wireless connections to the PCs and I won't be able to access the router.
I know I can get there via a cable connection, but then what do I do? How do I set up my clients for WPA2?
What's a real pain about all this is that the EasyLink Advisor gives hints on how to optimize performance on secured wireless systems. It advises going to WPA2! But its Wizard doesn't give the option to do that. Its offline help file is minimal - it just says "use the wizard" and that's it.
The online help describes how to manually configure WPA but not WPA2. And the instructions for WPA are incomplete. They explain how to set up the router, but then do not explain how to use the enccryption keys when reconnecting client PCs. They just say to select the SSID in the wireless icon's connect menu, then click on connect. Where does the key go?
Thanks for your time in reading this,
Big Al Mintaka

First of all, Windows XP SP2 can do WPA2, however it requires a patch.   Go to Microsoft Knowledge base, article ID=917021 and it will direct you to the patch.
Sadly, the patch is not part of the automatic Windows XP updates, so lots of people are missing the patch.
Additionally, be sure to give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
As to why EasyLink Advisor works the way it does - I just don't know.
To setup WPA2, you will first need to patch Windows XP, then, using a computer that is wired to the router, go into the router and change the encryption to "WPA2 - personal" with "AES". Reboot modem and router. You are correct that you will now loose your wireless connections until you update the settings in your wireless devices.
Next go into your computers and likewise change the encryption to "WPA2 - personal"  (= WPA2 = PSK2 ).   (Note: You do not necesarily need to specify "AES" in your computers (or Tivo), but if you are given a choice between TKIP and AES, choose AES.)
To find these settings for your computers, go to the wireless software in your computer, and go to "Preferred Networks"  (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Delete your current network (this will clear any old settings). Reboot computer. Return to "Preferred Networks" and enter your network info (SSID, encryption, and key). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". Reboot computer.
You will need to check the Tivo manual for how to change the Tivo to WPA2.

Port Forwarding for Security Cameras

I have a Cisco RV220W that I am trying to set up to view the store security cameras remotely. I can view the cameras when connected to the LAN but not with a WAN connection. The Video recorder is an ADT system.
Always Allow
RTSP:TCP
Enabled
Any
192.168.0.24
8016
Always Allow
RTSP:UDP
Enabled
Any
192.168.0.24
8016
The port is the viewing port for the DVR. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
I have looked into the RTSP standard, and it looks like the default ports are 554 for TCP and UDP. Since it looks like your cameras are using a different port, you may want to try creating a custom service for 8016 externally, since the default rule is currently translating 554 to 8016. Of course you can also try connecting to the cameras with the public IP and port number 554, that should work with your current setup.
However if you are unable to change the port your client software uses, definitely try creating a custom service for 8016. You may also want to double check that the camera has the RV set as it's default gateway.
Hope that helps,

Settings For a SIM card in a Security Camera to send emails of the photos

I have a Scoutguard SG880MK-8M security camera. It uses GPRS to send emails of photos to any email address. Or it can send MMS of the photos to a mobile number. It works with a vodafone card installed using the MMS function. I haven't managed to get the email working. Here's the settings it requires and those that work for Vodafone (the MMS ones at the top) for MMS application

I am assuming that a Telstra 4G card will revert back to GPRS if that's all it can do in the device - not sure about that. Does anyone know the correct settings for Telstra APN (should be telstra.internet)? Do I have to use mail.bigpond.com as the server because it is a telstra card? I want to send to a gmail account. Any help much appreciated.

I use the same camera - had email via gprs working fine for a while until our $70 telstra long life SIM ran out after a year then after recharge we could only use email via MMS. Have tried everything including replacing the camera but to no avail - telstra techs have also tried but it is difficult to get someone with the experience this requires so they mostly give up and say take it to telstra shop or to seller. I know this can work on this exact camera as we had it working for a year. Settings we used were:
Gprs setting
Server:mail.bigpond.com
Port: 25
APN telstra.wap or telstra.internet
Account guest
Password guest
Email user is [email protected]
Email password xxxxx this is your telstra bigpond username and password or the one for your optus equivalent etc
Email address
Email1 [email protected] etc wherever you want the photo to go
Hope this helps - any advice on why the much cheaper gprs setting for email (email via mms works ok but is more expensive) suddenly stopped working please let me know - whe use the camera for pig control and the most cost effective data use is desirable

Why is it that on a 5s you can by pass all security measures via Siri, where as the 4S asks for an unlock?

On a 5s you can by pass all security measures via Siri, where as the 4S asks for an unlock. Why?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Airport Extreme + Security camera

Hi,
Need a bit to help. I purchased a DCS-2121 D-Link home security camera with the intention to set it up and allow it to record images when triggered by its motion detection.
Hardware:
DCS-2121 D-Link home security camera
Airport Base Station (white dome version)
Virgin Broadband
20' iMac (Intel)
After quite a struggle, I eventually got the camera to work wirelessly and was able to view the camera from most web browsers (i was quite pleased with myself). I then wanted to record the images, the camera setup gave me two options;
Record to an SD Card (slot in side of camera), or
(ii) Record to a Samba Network Drive
The easiest option, I thought, was the SD card option. After checking the boxes on the setup menu for this option and putting the sd card in the camera, I was quite disappointed that no images were stored on the sd card after a days worth of recording. Any thoughts?
I then progressed onto the second option for recording, "Samba Network Drive". This started to feel a bit out of my knowledge range but I gave it a go. The setup menu asked for a USERNAME, PASSWORD, SERVER and SHARD FOLDER. This is where I got confused! What is required to get this recording to a folder?
Ideally, could a memory stick be placed in the spare usb port in the Airport Base Station and record the images onto it? This option would negate for a computer to be left on if recording via the Samba method.
I would appreciate anybody's advice.
Thanks,
Robert

SMB is basically windows file sharing. You'll need to enable this on your mac in system preferencess/sharing. See this for more info:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1812
I'm pretty sure airport disks are shared via SMB by default in "WORKGROUP" (it's been a while). Though memory sticks don't always work well with airport base stations.
For the other information:
Username: Username of your mac user account if accessing the computer, not sure what goes here if you're sharing via airport.
Password: The appropriate account password, or the airport disk password.
Server: The computer name or airport name. I don't think SMB uses spaces, so I'm pretty sure it translates names like "Mac Mini" into "Mac-Mini"
Shared folder: The name of the folder being shared
If you've got a windows computer, this can be tested out pretty easily by going through it's network places and into Workgroup to see if everything is shared properly.

How can I view and convert .264 files from my security cameras for use on my Mac and the web?

My security cams record in a .264 file format HD. I want to view, edit, etc on my Mac, what software will do that and are there any easy tips to do this? I'm new to Mac's so I'm not sure what is the best format to convert to? mp4? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance. I do love the Mac so far.

I have downloaded the trail....and it won't recognize my .264 files....not sure what the deal is? Here is a screen shot-they files are "grayed" out....and won't highlight. Do you see anything wrong? I'm pulling the files off of a Lorex DVR security system. LHD200

How can i access my sons laptop computer to set up security if i don't know his password'

How can i access my sons laptop computer to set up security if i don't know his password?

If you have your own admin account on his computer, then you don't need to access his account. However, what type of security do you mean? If you mean network security then that is done in the router, not the computer. If you are referring to Parental Controls those need to be configured via an admin account - either his or yours.

Wireless webcam / security cam for use with Intel iMac

Hi all. I want to set up an outdoor web/security cam and a wireless model would be ideal, as I want to be able to put it in different locations.
There seem to be many PC-compatible wireless cameras, but are there any which are compatible with the Mac OS? I don't really want to get into Boot Camp / Parallels territory if possible.

Port forwarding security cameras WPA2 blocked?

I just bought an Airport Extreme router and set up port forwarding for home security cameras.
When I have no security - I can access the cameras remotely (iPhone) and locally with no problems on my iPhone. However, when I add on WPA2 security everything gets blocked. Is there a firewall or feature inside the AEBS that needs to be modified? Help!

The fact that you can access the cameras remotely verifies that the port settings are correct on your AEBS.
Wireless security does not use ports as it is a local network feature so no additional base station settings should be required.
The issue appears to be with your iPhone Wi-Fi connection when wireless security is enabled. WPA2 is supported with all iPhone models.
I would recommend at this point to change the security password to see if this resolves the problem. Temporarily try the following as the base station's Wireless Security password: 0123456789abcdef0123456789
Note that there are exactly 26 characters. If this works, go ahead and change the password. I would recommend one that contains a combination of 26 letters, numbers, & punctuation marks without using any spaces.
