Driller Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 I've set up my DVR (SVR 960) and all is working well. It's an impressive piece of kit. I'm interested in being able to monitor my house when I'm away from the house on holiday etc I thought I would be able to do this by just using any old pc in any old internet cafe, anywhere. After reading up a bit though it would appear that the PC in question needs to have a proprietry viewing software installed (Samsung Network Manager) to be able to access the images. Is this actually the case? Is there any way of simply viewing the images from any pc in the world? I know that the Queeps software can do this on a PDA. What do you recommend?

Taking a chill pill, forget the Video and most importantly, ENJOYING your holiday.

satsuma01 Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 The remote viewing is the chill pill If your unit comes with software then usuaylly it means it needs that specific software to connect to the dvr not a good option in your case, but there are unit which use internet explorer and an ip address through the web browers, personally our heres at home uses a specific prgramme to view the dvr images, "If you carry your childhood with you, you never become old.

I would have thought this would mean I could access images from any computer with a web browser...

And you know what? I just did what you said and I was directed to the login page at Ipolis, so it must be good heh, heh.
Driller Posted April 19, 2009 Author Posted April 19, 2009 Damn and blast, it's not letting me in... What do you get when you type in the IPadd and port number? Just images or some sort of interface?
Driller Posted April 21, 2009 Author Posted April 21, 2009 Right finally got it sorted, after much reading and research I'm now an expert on networking. Trouble is it's looking more and more like the computer needs to have Samsung Network Manager (the software that comes with it) installed on th PC for it to work. This is a royal pain in the 'arris as one of the features I wanted was to have remote veiwing on telephone and pc all over the country/world. I could carry the CD with me and install SNM on all computers I encounter I suppose but it's not optimum really. Damn, it looks like I've bought the WRONG DVR it's too professional. I'm going to have to buy another one, I'm guessing I can't take this one back now...? Or...are there any network units/devices I could connect to the SVR960 DVR to "transmit" the images onto the web, what about a PC at home and does that mean I'm going to be able to control playback etc Failing that, what DVR should I have bought, alienpro? DVR365? Edited to add: Ok, of course. The answer is a small laptop with the software installed.

You could carry the software on a usb stick or mobile phone memory card. Or download the software from the internet to the pc to be used. But you must have administrator access on the pc. Even if you get a new DVR which allow viweng over IE, you still need to downlad and activate Active X controls on the pc, which again you can only do with administrator access. So this would rule out internet cafes, communal pc's, libraries etc.. Or as you say, get a nice lappy with a 3G data card! Hope this helps, Andy
