Remotely accessing a CCTV system - questions :)

Hi
I want to remotely access my CCTV system that's set up using multiple cameras and a DVR.
The DVR has an ethernet port to connect to a router.
The problem I think I have is that I can only get a 3G service where I am and therefore I use a 3G router with embedded sim card, and then connect an Airport Extreme to the router, and extend the 'Airport Network' with further Airport Extremes and Airport Expresses.
Standard 3G SIM service providers do not offer a fixed IP address. This isn't a problem for normal internet activity but I think it is when trying to remotely access the DVR.
So someone suggested using a DDNS or noip.com service, however I'm told that 3G providers prevent the SIM cards from being able to use these services, something to do with NAT?
So my question is, is there anything at all that I can do using my current setup? Or is my only option to run a separate 3G router with a fixed IP sim card (you can get them but they are considerably more expensive) dedicated to the DVR? Would Back to My Mac provide a possible solution?
Other than what I've mentioned I have no other real knowledge of networking etc, so please explain any answers simply!
Thanks

I don't think I can use dyn.com or noip.com as I've been told that the SIM providers don't allow you to port forward on a router.
I don't really know how Back to My Mac works but I wondered if I have the DVR connected to one of my AirPort Extreme Routers could I access that router (and the DVR) using B2MM?
I also want to be able to access the DVR and settings when I'm in the house using my laptop. Can someone offer any advice on how to do this?
Much appreciated

Something you should be aware of is the frequency of IP address change at your father's location. Providers of residential broadband services lease an IP address for a certain duration which you have no control over and is purely arbitrary. You may be familiar with these changes?
The point is sometimes these addresses change regularly (4 hours to every few days) and sometimes they stay the same for a longer period of time such as a year or more.
Because of the nature of this change you may find you can remote assist your father one day but not the next. The situation is easily rectified with a simple phonecall to your father. He can tell you what IP address he's using by launching his browser and clicking this link:
http://myipaddress.com
He gives you his new IP address and you should be able to make a successful connection again.
Be aware IP addresses handed out by ISPs are known as routable. IP addresses handed out by Firewalls/Routers/Gateway devices such as Apple's Airport Express Base Station etc are not routable. Assuming you've not changed anything in the devices they will always be one of these three ranges: 192.168.1.x; 10.x.x.x and 172.16.16.x. You don't use any of these last three group of addresses to make the connection over the public external (internet) network but you do use them when on the same private internal network.

Remotely monitor my CCTV system using my Mac

I am in the process of installing a CCTV system at my house with a VXM4 DVR Hard drive recorder. It is very straight forward to remotely monitor the system using a PC with an internet connection, but I can't seem to do it using my Mac. I desperately don't want to use a PC to do this. Does anyone know how I can do it using my MAC. Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple boards.
Does your camera/recorder itself connect to the internet? Some do and all you need to do is browse to the IP address it is set for, just like any other website.

Remote Access for CCTV cameras

HI
My questions pertains to remote viewing of security cameras at my business from my home computer. I have a networkable DVR and would like to know the steps to follow to set this up. Can any one assist with the installation steps I need to take. I realize I will need to have my internet provider provide me with a static IP address which talks to the router, but after that I don't clear on the process.

Hi… I hope that all the cameras are properly install and working. Now you should configure the cameras with different ports no (e.g. Linksys camera would have 1024 port by default). After you set up these unique ports for each camera, you can access the cameras by your public IP address (e.g. http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxort).

Can't Remotely Access CCTV DVR

Good afternoon,
We have a small Digimerge CCTV system with a DVR (DH200) that allows remote viewing via a web interface or smartphone application. I have been having some trouble accessing my CCTV through the web interface since implementing Server 2012 R2 Essentials.
The remote website is in the format mydomain.digimerge.net, however when I go to the site I am redirected to my servers remote web access logon page.
I am able to view the cameras within the local network with the Digimerge Windows desktop software.
I have port forwarded the necessary port in my router. What else do I need to do to get this to work?
Thank you for any help!
Tre

it sounds like a port forwarding misconfiguration at your router.
if Windows Server 2012 Essentials is offering RWA, via the same port as your DVR, you have a conflict (you can only have one destination for a port-forwarding-rule).
If RWA is listening on, say, port 80, can the DVR be reconfigured to listen on a different port, you could setup a port-forward-rule for that other port, to forward to the DVR.
(none of which, really has anything to do with Windows at all...)

Multiple MiniSAP systems on one machine, with remote access

Hi,
I'd like to ask if it is possible to install multiple versions of MiniSAP (6.10, 6.20, 2004, 2004s) on the same machine? An important requirement would be to be able to access all these systems remotely.
Maybe the best option would be to install these onto different virtual machines which can be run at the same time. In this case how should I set up the router for remote access? Also, how can I define the SAPGui entries on my laptop to access these systems?
Many thanks,
Tamá

If you are using DHCP (in most cases yes), after setting up virtual machine you will get another IP adress for that virtual machine, so that you are able to connect to this machine and of course connect to SAP system running there. You don't need to do any settings on router.
In SAPGui you will create as many entries as you have SAP systems.

Why does MAX say %22The remote access list on this system is blank%22%3F

I am building and deploying a real-time data acquisition/control system using LabVIEW RT (2012 SP1) and a PXI controller. I've tested my software, and it runs fine, now that I've figured out how to build stand-alone executables for both the Host and RT Target systems.
Due to a bug on the RT side (which I hope I've now fixed), I needed to "rebuild" my PXI Controller, reinstall LabVIEW RT and related software, and reconfigure all of the Tasks in MAX (version 5.5). To save the Configuration (and simplify reconfiguring the Tasks and Channels), I tried to export the configuration using the Configuration Export Wizard in MAX. However, there were some (minor?) inconsistencies in some of the devices (such as NI-488.2) between the Host and Remote systems that generated some errors. I was able to correct this by asking MAX to do a Reset Configuration Data on the Host, and those problems went away.
After exporting the NI Configuration Export File for my PXI, I decided to use MAX to Create Reports on both my Host and Remote PXI systems. While reviewing the PXI's report, I noticed that the last entry in the report, called "Security", reads as follows:
"The remote access list on this system is blank. This means that no remote system has access to this system."
What does this mean? Where is the "remote access list on this system", and how is it maintained? Note that I haven't (yet) tried deploying my (formerly-working) Project to this (rebuilt) Controller, but I haven't made changes in LabVIEW, itself.
If I look at the Properties of the RT Target in Project, the VI Server properties (still) show TCP/IP enabled (port 3363) with Machine Access given to "*" (all machines) and, similarly, all Exported VIs allowed access.
Am I missing something? Can I safely ignore the above Security report entry generated by MAX, or is there a hidden setting I need to find and change?

Bob,
i am not sure about your situation, but it seems to me that it is connected to "Security" Settings. Please refer to the help in MAX, topic "Logging into your System".
Norbert
I agree, but I've never heard about "Security Settings" in MAX. When I first read your note, I went looking and couldn't find "Logging into your System". I came back a day later, was going to write a "There is not such topic!" reply, but fortunately I looked again, and found it. I suspect the reason I never ran into this was that my controllers were all using older BIOSes -- I'd just "rebuilt" this controller, including updating its BIOS, and ran into the Login prompt for the first time ...
Thanks for pointing me in (what turns out to be) the right direction!

I see "imac-54f9d5" under the "Shared" heading in my finder. I am not connected to any printers or other Mac devices. Is it possible that someone is remotely accessing my system? How can I figure out what this is?

is it your imac?
is it your your router's name?
are you by any chance connected to another wifi router then your own because the other one was open and not password protected?

Richard's suggestion will turn off and turn on the wireless function on your Mac computer......but.....it will not do anything as far as turning your Apple AirPort router on and off.......which seems to be the question that you are asking above.
If this is the question that you are asking, it is not possible to power the Apple router on and off from either a local or remote location.

I have an Airport Extreme and need to open ports in order to view my CCTV system remotely. How am I able to do this?

I have an Airport Extreme and need to open ports in order to view my CCTV system remotely. How am I able to do this? The company that supports the system says I need to open the following - 8200, 8016, 8116, 10019, 12088. All help is appreciated.

Open AirPort Utility on the PC, select the Airport Extreme and click Manual Setup
Click the Advanced icon
Click the Port Mapping tab
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the connection list to set things up
Reference pages 49-51 in the Apple AirPort Networks guide for more info
IF.....you do not see a Port Mapping tab when you click the Advanced icon, then that would mean that the AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode and the main routing functions for the network are being provided by another device.
You will need to set up the port mapping on that device, which is likely your modem/router or gateway.

[SOLVED] Remote Access to a home Arch system behind the router.

Hello,
I am trying to remotely access my home Arch system from school. I did try doing something and this is what I did:
1. Used DynDns and NO-IP to setup a free domain, I thought NO-IP script was easy to run so I tested this on NO-IP.
2. I then installed Openssh.
3. Then I have setup the Port forwarding on the router to point to my ssh port (change from 22).
4. I tried to ping, the domain name from NO-IP with no response.
What I want to ask is... is there any better way of doing this?
I dont need a desktop access, simple ssh should do for now.
Thank You
Gopi

OK, I have solved this by this process. Will work only if the router supports the DynDNS. I am assuming that you have created a DynDNS account, its free for 2 domains. I also had to make my computer use STATIC IP from my router, just specify any IP address outside the DHCP range.
1. On the router, add the details about the DynDNS account. On my Belkin Router, I had to go to Firewall -> DDNS -> DynDNS and give the details and also enable it.
2. By doing the above step, we don't have to install the client for DynDNS.
3. On the router again, setup the port forwarding, again (on my Belkin Router) go to Firewall -> Virtual Servers -> Add the IP and the port numbers, I had to use the same number for both the incoming and the private port, though for other routers the number can differ?
4. On the computer, I installed the openssh and then changed the login port to the one specified in the router for forwarding.
5. Make the router and ssh logins as safe as possible. I understand that opening the router is not safe so I have to warn you.
I can now login using my DynDNS domain name from anywhere woohoo!

What is/are the best Remote Access/VPN services for my Mac system?

2009 Macbook Pro
2009 Macbook
2010 iMac
2 iPad 2s
2 iPhone 4s
Computers on Snow Leopard
iOS 5
Everything is updated
I want :
1. to have everything working together, with remote access from anywhere on the internet, file sharing, streaming & transfer.
2. the security of a VPN connection.
I will soon update my existing router w/an Airport Extreme. What VPN/Remote Access client(s) should I get? Is there one solution for both jobs, or do I need to get more than one service? I have looked at LogMeIn, Witopia. Thanks for the help.

I've been down this road and settled on a much simpler solution...
VPNs are ok... but the performance is bad, they send TCP packets inside TCP packets... which is a bad thing, some connections completely break down. security is o-k, but openVPN is much better yet more complicated to set up. Also you have to go through all the mess of setting up the server.
I tried using VPNs for a while, and then instead settled with tunneling specific connections over ssh... it is more secure and elegant, there is no server setup, however it is not seemless.. you have to set up the connections/ports individually each time, this can get messy if you want access to lots of things at once.
I eventually came accross sshuttle, and this is what i have stuck with because it's just bloody great... it's like a VPN but uses SSH. So you don't have to set up a VPN server... you just need access to an ssh server (i.e your home mac with "remote login" (ssh) enabled, and your router to foward ssh requests to that machine).
not only do you not have to mess around with server configs, but it also give far better performance, stability, and the security of ssh (i.e whichever cypher you want). This is because unlike VPN, sshuttle pulls the TCP packets apart before sending them over SSH (which is allready using TCP) and then re-assembles them the other side with python. the result is comparably better performance and stability than VPN protocols.
you can route individual IPs from the servers subnet, or tell it to automatically find and merge all host names / IPs it can find with your current subnet.
Theory of Operation
sshuttle is not exactly a VPN, and not exactly port forwarding. It's kind of both, and kind of neither.
It's like a VPN, since it can forward every port on an entire network, not just ports you specify. Conveniently, it lets you use the "real" IP addresses of each host rather than faking port numbers on localhost.
On the other hand, the way it works is more like ssh port forwarding than a VPN. Normally, a VPN forwards your data one packet at a time, and doesn't care about individual connections; ie. it's "stateless" with respect to the traffic. sshuttle is the opposite of stateless; it tracks every single connection.
You could compare sshuttle to something like the old Slirp program, which was a userspace TCP/IP implementation that did something similar. But it operated on a packet-by-packet basis on the client side, reassembling the packets on the server side. That worked okay back in the "real live serial port" days, because serial ports had predictable latency and buffering.
But you can't safely just forward TCP packets over a TCP session (like ssh), because TCP's performance depends fundamentally on packet loss; it must experience packet loss in order to know when to slow down! At the same time, the outer TCP session (ssh, in this case) is a reliable transport, which means that what you forward through the tunnel never experiences packet loss. The ssh session itself experiences packet loss, of course, but TCP fixes it up and ssh (and thus you) never know the difference. But neither does your inner TCP session, and extremely screwy performance ensues.
sshuttle assembles the TCP stream locally, multiplexes it statefully over an ssh session, and disassembles it back into packets at the other end. So it never ends up doing TCP-over-TCP. It's just data-over-TCP, which is safe.
Anyway, you can find it on github here https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle
if you uncomfortable using the command line, someone has also bundled it into an app here: https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle/commits/dist/macos
IMPORTANT, the latest version invokes a bug in one of apple's drivers after a while which causes a kernel panic, (this isn't the same as the bug where you have to reset your network interface like it says in the readme, this WILL cause a kernel panic) stick with version 0.53 untill ether Apple fixes the bug, or sshuttle stops antagonising it. 0.53 works perfectly at the moment. you can ether install git and clone the specific version or download the 0.53 app here instead:
http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/sshuttle-Download-97917.html
alternatively, if your loging in from linux there aren't any problems with 0.60 because the system would have different dirvers of course.
One last note... you said you wanted everything to work together, one thing that will not work over VPNs, SSH, and sshuttle is bojour... this is significant because things like AFP shares wont pop up automatically, you will have to specify them ... i.e command+k in finder and type AFP://192.168.0.x or VNC://192.168.0.x etc this is because none of these options support multicasting which bonjour requires. This isn't such a big deal so long as you know what services are available on your machine and how to manually connect to them (like i said above)

Remote Access Question...

Is there a remote access app with which I can open media on a computer or laptop in the apps that support said media or files on my iPad, email these files as a link, email compatable sizes as an attachment, save compatable types to camera roll, Print, view, play, listen to, and read?

You can use email to send files to your iPad. But the best way to transfer photos, music, documents etc. is to use iTunes on your computer. See page 40 of the iPad User's Manual for information on syncing your iPad using iTunes. The manual is here
