    Try somewhere else, if Feed is working when on camera network and not elsewhere then a port needs opening,
    / forwarding

    What dvr you get & how much

    Think I have it sorted. Fecking sky trotling my wifi. My box was covered under warranty. It's a logicom box. From memory I think it's around €400 for an 8 channel box

    In relation to IP camera's, can anybody tell me if there tends to be any general maintenance issues with these? Have wired camera's here but the DVR has died a death and I can't get a compatible replacement easily. My main camera is situated quite high and I'd prefer not to have to go up there too often if I get an IP camera and there's issues. One of the few pros of having wired camera's I think!q
    TIA

    Is it a ptz camera? I have them in about 5 years and I never went near them. My dvr went about a year ago and was just still in warranty when it gave up last week. What make dvr had you? Try take down a few details of it and ask over in the form on boards about cameras and security etc

    most important for any camera is to keep them plugged in full time,

    some people had a habit of disconnecting the cam when calving season finishes, this allows moisture to build up ,

    moisture + electronics = not good

    Is there a hd/sd option on the screen? Pick the hd option if so.

    Could be the size of the screen. What quality is the camera

    Have wired camera's. Can pick up on my phone through the home broadband. If I leave this home broadband I can't pick up the pictures with broadband elsewhere. What's going on?

    Can you pick it up on 3G? You might have to ring your broadband provider, it section, and ask is your IP address open on line , 81, 8081 or 8090 depending on what channel your using in your settings.
    I think the term they use is static up address.

    What app are you using ?

    P2P all the way. no static IP, totally DIY, stable simple reliable. I don't understand (for calving cameras) why anyone would be forwarding ports etc... Definitely not on new systems. I did my own setup, download app, open DVR menu, scan qr code with phone, bingo.....make sure to change passwords from default ones to be safe.
    Anyone can do it.

    I bought a Triax DVR without hard drive, the particular model depends on what type of cameras you have. I have analogue cameras as it's not for calving cows just for keeping an eye on them. The hd compatible DVRs are no more difficult to set up. The important term to remember is "P2P"
    Anyone can do it themselves, not difficult, as outlined in my previous post.

    how fast is your broadband upload speed? had this problem before, when you're connected to the same broadband as camera, the camera isn't uploading image via internet, its just transferring feed via broadband box, so when you are on another internet or 3g you won't be able to see.

    could you give bit more info
    What exactly did you buy?
    Is it based on sim card?
    Where did you buy ? (If it ok to ask)

    broadband is 2mbps. It's trying to connect but then comes up "server unavailable" so maybe I'm locked out. I called three and they stated that they need the port code. Where would I get this.

    Agreed here, just got a 4 wireless camera cctv dvr kit today, cheap and cheerful straight from China kit, largely just plugged it all in and it worked straight out of the box. No real manual, and the android app is rubbish enough so I'll probably instead just teamview straight into the laptop connected to it, but for the 250e it cost me it will do the job perfect, got WiFi coverage all over the yard here, and 3 different calving boxes, so will have a camera for each now, and will use 4th one as an actual security camera. Don't really want to know what a full professional install would of cost me.

    Hi. Just to clarify, you cannot connect to the camera When outside the range of your WiFi?

    If that is the case it's more that you are using the incorrect IP address.

    When you are in the house and you access the camera you use an IP address 192.168.xx.xx for example, this is the cameras direct ip.

    When you are not connected to the Wifi you must access the camera through your routers IP address.

    The next time you are in the house check the external ip using www.whatsmyip.com. Check it when you are connected to wifi.

    This will give you the routers IP address and might start with 89.127.xx.xx for example. It will be different to the ip you use when accessing the camera through the wifi.

    Then switch off wifi on your phone and enter the router IP address in your internet browser on phone and it should connect to the camera.

    If you already know the above is not an issue then it will most like be a firewall setting on your router that is preventing outside access or it will because a port requires to be open is closed.

    Did you receive software with the camera? When you run the camera software it will give you the cameras ip address


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 321 ✭✭Mf310


    When i search my cameras ip address on google It says 
    This site cant be reached

    192.168.1.XXX took too long to respond

    Try:

    Checking the connection

    Checking the proxy and the firewall

    Running windows network  Diagnostics

    Ive tried adjusting these .. any ideas

    Yeah it's fairly self explanatory, if those systems were P2P then they probably wouldn't be having these problems. I'm not technologically adept enough to troubleshoot faults involved in forwarding ports, that's exactly why I bought a P2P DVR.

    Sounds like the IP address is incorrect. What make camera? Can you post details


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 607 ✭✭✭larthehar


    It is a while since i setup the one at home but i had to setup 2 login accounts one when on the wifi (LAN) and one for the accessing through the internet.
    Setting up on the LAN was easy as i just needed to give the dvr a static ip address and connect using the app.
    For accessing through the internet, i had to login into the router and setup port forwarding to port number on the dvr, this is configurable. Port 80 i think is the default in most cases. So if you google "what is my ip" when on the LAN that the camera is on this will give you the ip to connect to. Unfortunately ISP's tend to change the IP address on occasion unless you want to pay extra for a fixed ip address. I didn.t bother though, just update it manually twice a year or that..
    Usually the Dvr will also have a username and password to access it, change this from the default so random people are showing your live footage on the web!

    Or as the lads said, just buy P2P and you avoid all that hardship..

    Pulling my hair out at this craic. Do I need a public IP address to access remotely.

    What sort of money would they cost and what would be a good brand

    From memory the DVR was around €150 and I paid around €80 each for two cameras. You can of course get dearer cameras but these are good enough for my needs. I bought a triax dvr, freetv sells hikvision DVRs for around the same money. Easy to set up.

    Ring your internet provider. Ask for it department. Tell them that you're setting up cameras and you are looking for your IP address to be static and port 80 to be forwarded. Tell them your not very rec savy. They'll have done it a thousand times and do it in a few minutes for you.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5 DBuckley


    You just need to do a port forward on your router. or a DDNS. Never use port 80 it will cause problems use 8080

    Hi guys anyone here handy with installing ip cameras and NVR apps onto a mobile phone. I have installed a new calving camera system in shed and I can view all camers on the monitor, however in order to view on my mobile I need it install an app called "ip pro" I registered my account and that went fine, the app is installed on my phone but wont launch, I log in and it just goes to a screen with a cloud and laptop and mobile on it but wont allow me access to
    app. It works perfect on my two daughters mobiles but not on mine, I can log onto their phones with my login and its fine, so obviously its my phone is the issue, what im wondering is there some premission not granted on my phone and which one is it, any help?

    Your using an electricQ calving camera system are you? If so you can try another Android app called eseenet+. I found it to be less buggy than the ip pro app.

    Thanks Timmaay that worked straight away on the mobile, however it wont allow me to zoom in, even though there seems to be a function for this on the screen. still its very clear as is and great to have it on phone. Thanks

    Anybody try homeplugs in the house and homeplugs in the shed? Those are the plugs that let you send an ethernet connection through the plug to another plug, your electricity has to be all on the one loop though.

    These can work great but I would say a lot could have separate boards for the sheds and house. Connect this cable to a switch in your shed and away you go with connecting your cameras onto your network.

    Hi All sorry for bringing up an old thread but my foscam camera was working fine off an old 3 router last year took it out the other day and it's not working so got the Huawei b525 router and new Sim. Can access the camera when I'm on the same network but no joy when I'm using the app away from the network. Think I remember having to setup port forwarding but 3 support are as useful as a chocolate teapot. Any of u lads have the same router and had the same issue.

    Use ddyns in the app or port forward on the router

    Is the router getting a public IP?
    Check what IP the WAN connection is getting and compare it to the IP you get from a Laptop connected to the router by typing what's my IP into Google from a browser. If they are different you will not get port forwarding to work without getting 3 to get you a proper public IP. (Many ISP's no longer give a public IP by default as there is a shortage of IPV4 addresses.)

    If you can't get a public IP your only option will be to use a camera that supports P2P.

    log into the router the ip ad and user name and pw should be on the bottom

    (its usually 192.168.8.1 and admin / admin )

    under security > virtual server add the camera and port details
    under DHCP > make sure the ip on cam is in the range , ( change ip of router if not)

    Foscam have their own DDns , enable this in cam settings and use this along with port no. of cam and password to log in

    (sorry if I 'm not explaining too well , I will talk you through on DM if you are stuck )
