Bought a PC Wireless 4 Camera DVR Security Surveillance System from Ebay?

Just bought this system from ebay.Wondering if anyone knows how to setup the webcam server for remote monitoring.Looks like by the instructions that it was straight forward,but no luck.Any help?
Rich

mmm, not much to go on, but i’ll try.
I’m guessing there is a ‘webcam server’ setting in the menu that you already turned on, if not, well, i’ll really need to know what system it is before I can say anything usefully then.
But assuming there is, and you already turned it on as described in the instructions the place where it usually goes wrong is either:
-ports in your router are not opened for traffic
-ports on your router are not set up to to rout you to the dvr
for both thing you need to check witch port is used by the dvr, then go to the config page of your router and check under ‘virtual server’ or ‘address translation’ and check if those ports are routed to the dvr.

for anything more concrete i nee more info about what goes wrong/what system/type of connection you want (web interface or a installed program)

Trouble finding WEP passowrd on Macbook?

I am currently babysitting for one of my neighbors, and I brought my Macbook along to use while the baby is napping. I tried to access the Internet from my laptop, but the wireless network configured in this house requires a WEP Password.

The family also has a Macbook, which they left here on the table. I opened it up to look at the Network Settings and try to find the password.

Under System Preferences, I clicked on Networks. Making sure that the right network name was selected, I clicked the Advanced button. Again, with the right network selected, I clicked the Edit button. It opens a window with three different fields for “Network Name” “Security” and “Password.” The security is WEP Password and the password shows up encrypted by little dots. I clicked on the “Show Password” box at the bottrom, and the password is STILL encrypted, this time with asteriks!

Why can’t I see the password? How in the world do I find it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The password is hidden. That’s what makes it secure. It won’t display, because if it did, it wouldn’t be secure.

You’re going to have to ask the neighbor for the password. If it’s one of several different gateway setups, such as DSL, you might (might) be able to find the key printed underneath the case of the gateway. It will say either “ID” or “key.” Try using this string to see if it works.

The only other way you could do this is to hack into the setup page for the router/gateway, and reset the password from there. Of course, the router configuration utility may have a password also, in which case you still cannot do anything. And if you change the password, you will have to change it on all the computers in the network. I don’t recommend this suggestion I’ve just made.

More thinking: You could do a file search on the computers in the house to see if they’ve recorded the key/password. Another possibility (and I really don’t know for sure because I don’t know Macs well), is that there may be some sort of network configuration utility on the computers, that will record the network settings (encrypted) onto a floppy or USB storage device, allowing you to transfer these settings to your computer. This functionality exists in Windows, for instance.

How do I find out which ports are open on my network?

I am trying to use port forwarding to view security cameras over the internet. My camera system, using DHCP, has an IP address of 192.168.0.100. The data is set to come out of port 1026. The camera system is plugged into a hub with an IP address of 192.168.0.1 (set statically). That hub is, in turn, plugged into a DSL modem (which can also work as a Wireless Hub/DHCP server) with the internal address of 192.168.0.2 and an external address of 71.38.68.47. Internally, I can see all devices on the network whether I am plugged into the hub or have linked to the wireless modem. I have set port forwarding on the DSL modem to forward 192.168.0.100 port 1026 for both TCP and UDP protocols. It seems like I have done everything right. I have set-up a similar arrangement in the past with success. But currently, I cannot call the WAN IP address of the modem : port number of the cameras and get the picture. Maybe it is in how the modem and wired hup are linked. Appreciate any help.

On the *nix box in question type:
netstat -anp | grep LISTEN

and it’ll show you all the open ports.

From another box use the nmap program (find on Yahoo! search) to scan for open ports on your boxes.

How To Find The Best Home Security Systems and Why We Need Them

If you want to protect yourself and your family, it is important to make sure that you have considered the benefits that are provided by having the Best Home Security System . There are a number of different reasons why you might need a home security system and how you can go about figuring out the right one for you, but before you do that, there are a number of different things that you need to know. Though it might seem a little unnerving to be preparing for the worst, consider the fact that preparation only means that you are going to be in a good place should it happen!

The first thing that you need to think about when you are considering a home security system is the company behind it. Who is keeping an eye on your home and to what extent are they on call? You will find that the best services out there are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Their monitoring centers are always on line and if the alarm is triggered, they are going to know. Essentially, when the alarm is triggered, they will call you. If there is no answer, they will dispatch the police. If you have ever been worried about punching in the wrong alarm and then being at odds with the police, don’t be; this is a situation that can easily be cleared up.

When you are considering what is the Best Home Security System , you will find that the best ones these days are wireless systems that are then coupled with a wired alarm. No matter how large or small your home is, you’ll find that this system can cover you in all eventualities. Having a wired alarm is something that can actually frighten a home breaker off. If they have only forced entry and have not had a chance to grab anything, you will find that your losses can be greatly minimized. While you still may have issues with things like broken doors or windows, it can be much better than the alternative. The truth is that the more redundant your system is, the better off you are going to be and the better protected your home is going to be.

Keep in mind that there are definitely services out there that offer more than just protection from break ins. You may also find that there are services out there that will include things like fire monitoring, carbon monoxide monitoring and even more. Something that more and more homeowners out there are realizing is the fact that their homes are, in some ways, more vulnerable than they have ever been, and this can definitely keep them up at night. What does it take to make sure that your family is as protected as you can make it, and what can you do to achieve a level of security that will let you sleep at night?

When you are considering home security systems, remember that ideally, they will never be used. However, in the event they are necessary, you will find yourself extremely pleased that you have them. T Consider what your options are and what you can do to make sure that your premises enjoy the highest level of comfort and security.
