gomamochi1

Hi Folks
Just went ahead and purchased a cctv system from Aliexpress. fitted the cameras and the DVR seems to be working fine. But I am after a new alarm system that can link with this and all work of one app on the phone. oics sent etc from motion detect.
Any suggestions please.

Not many that will do it from the one app.
What make of cctv have you. Some IP cameras will work with the Siemens app, but you would be getting much better using seperate apps.

Although the DVr ain't great I am thinking of switching it for a swann? What ya think?

If its an NVR , it may be possible to get the Siemens app to see the cameras.
Keep away from Swann would be my opinion.

No it's just DVR. Power over bnc balun x 4 cameras. Remote acting up on the DVR and not as easy as I thought it was gong to be to set up!

I don't know of any app that could connect to that and your alarm.
What problems are you having with the remote access?

Have you got a static or dynamic IP address set up?
You could also set up a dns and use that if a dynamic address you are using.

Yeah I tried to work out how to access the cctv remotely though the router/ app. I have a digiweb fritzbox router and I can see its connected to the router through the user interface but unable to decipher how to access remotely through phone or PC. In fact can't access it through a PC on the network either!

Seems to be down now alright.
The page I linked to the other day had the download for the App and remote viewing on it.

Did you try a search using that name on the Play Store /App Store or somewhere like Aptoide?

Yes tried that all right. The manual suggests downloading vmeye or vmeye cloud but they don't seem to be able to sink with the DVR.

Does the recorder you have use multiple ports.?
If so have you tried them all?

Not sure if this in an option as my tech knowledge would not go that far. Will have to do some investigating!

I just noted that it is a nvr also- dooh ! Does this make it any easier to log into from a PC remotely or internally? I can id. the IP address of the DVR on the fritzbox. Bit can't access it!

Some recorders have different ports for web server, mobile app, search etc.
Trying various ports sometimes get it going on different .

Youtube have some great step by step videos when setting up remote access.
Even for a novice.

KoolKid

The fact it's an NVR wouldn't make much difference. The network settings would be the same.

Id say its more than likely a setting he is missing.
