Has anyone have any issues with the DVR not taking an IP request? I tried both DHCP and Static and it doesn't connect to local network.

Yes I did, it was a little tricky. I finally got frustrated and called tech support, they took control of my computer and got it connected in less than 10 minutes. The instructions seam to be off a little bit in that area. Call tech support, they are great. Hope this helps

The problem is probably signal detection by either your tv or cable box. In newer electronics they use DLNA which means that all your electronics recognize each other's circuitry. Since this device is intended to merely be an analog re-route, chances are that this feature is more than this device is actually able to do. I was hoping that it would be have been able to recognize my DVR also, but depending on the models that you're using some cable or satellite providers may be able to furnish you the component that it is compatible with your set up. But as anything it may cost you. I went to my local electronics store and that was the answer I received from the technician. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks.

I bought the ip cam viewer app and was able to set it up see it on the same network but once I leave the network it wont work. Something about the ip address not being static but always changing. I was unsuccessful in setting up the record either since I'm not an IT guy. I think unless you really know networking it's pretty complicated for a noob like myself. There are couple of free ip camera viewers out there so check it out. I'm able to view, pan, and tilt with the one I got. Just wish I knew how to take advantage of the full potential. Sorry I couldn't have been a better help.

That's interesting. I wonder why it's called a DVR. I actually had the same question as Dennis, thanks for your reply.OK. I just got off the phone with tech at Archos and both the home and travel DVR do record from TV, VCR and DVD player. The main difference is the Home DVR dock is not travel friendly because of size/weight and there is no "s" plug on the travel dock.

I have 3 cameras and I haven't seen any issues. I only look at my cameras 3-5 times per day so I may have just missed the issue. Are you using different port numbers for each camera? Are you using myfoscam.org as your host? Did you add the IP address of your cameras to your router manually?

You have to format the disk with the DVR, it cannot read the windows file format, The instructions tell you how to format the disk in the dvr, then reboot and your set.

Don't expect any support from Directv on this issue, I spent 45 minutes on the phone with a tier one support person, who basically spent the time , reading me information from the instruction book. You might want to just look on Directv forums, and notice the number people who have some sort of issue with CCK boxes. I sent the CCK back, and figured out a way to get a hard wired connection to the back of the Directv DVR.

I purchased and are using 4 of these cameras without issues. I would first check to confirm that your power source is constant. It is recommended that the cameras should have a static addressed and not be assigned a new one by the router. Even if you were to get a new ip address, that should prompt the camera to reboot. My understanding is the camera only reboot by 1) power on/off 2) from the software to reboot device.

I was JUST reading through some of the reviews and one of the folks seemed to list this exact problem - though they were using a Tivo. It seems too similar an issue to be an anomaly: sadly the reviewer determined that after unplugging the drive and starting his DVR back up again, all of the problems vanished, leading him to the conclusion that it was the drive and NOT the DVR. Your best bet is to do the same - remove the drive and see if the DVR functions normally. If so, then you know the drive is faulty. Good luck!

Not sure how to answer this. Do you have a DVR? If so yes I hooked it up to my qsee dvr and it works great

I had the same situation basically. This switch is a great device to do just what you want. Just remove the Cat5 plug from the DVR and insert it into the UPLINK of the switch (from the Bridge plug into the uplink. Now just use Cat5 to plug your Blue-ray device and your DVR device into the switch, but make sure you don't use the plug immediately next to the uplink port! That last port does not work in the 5 port model of this switch. Now just power up the switch and all should be working!

My first DVR from Security Man worked great for about 3 months. Then, nothing. Would not playback, erase, nothing. I purchased anouther one due to the price, it has been working great for about 2 months. I'm selling the house now, I hope it lasts til closing.

Yeah I'm still trying to get the iO DVR uni remote to work with it and I can't get it to work.. i tried the samsung codes.. I'll try the RCA ones and see if I have any success there. For this remote, there is a manual way of doing it.. but that won't help anyone here since it won't tell me the code to tell anyone anyway... Hope someone else has luck with this!

You can. I had that need myself and bought a Router that operates in bridge mode (client mode, depends on what the manufacturer calls that). The router accesses my wifi network and its ethernet cable is connected to the DVR.

The DVR must be connected to the Internet using a CAT5 cable. It will not work through a wireless connection.- WJ.

Hi! In my case, I was connecting my DVR to the internet, so I needed TWO poweline adapters--one to plug the DVR into, the other to plug the router into at the source. All I had to do, however, was plug them in and GO! No software to run, or extra setup needed. My DVR was connected to the internet in minutes. VERY quick and easy setup! I would definitely buy again and rec to friends.
