I have recently replaced an old CCTV setup with PoE recorder and cameras around my garage/yard, it is all working well to the recorder, but I am struggling trying to understand how to get it so I can view it on my laptop in the house. I have a cat5 cable running from the house to the garage where I have a router and an old laptop that assists with my calculations on the metal lathe.
The things I am struggling with is DynDNS. Is this the name of the camera makers, my internet provider or someone else? The server address, again is it my internet provider name or in numbers or the number of the recorder.. eg 192.16.0.12 ?
I think that the Domain name is actually my internet provider, the user name I assume is mine as is also the password.
I have tried for many hours and different combinations of all setups and combinations that I can think of, but keep getting "connection failed". The version 2 of the recorder I have purchased states that it has provision for internet connection. I also tried to contact the makers of the CCTV, but they required answers to too many things that did not seem to be relevant to me., them being Chinese.
