    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.

    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

    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.

    try putting the camera port into the url after a colon

    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..

    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.

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

    Clever thinking that. I wonder soon will there be call centres in India who will be willing to keep an eye on cameras here for those who do not have family in different time zones?
