Inspire Cctv And Bt Homehub

[wfim]

Sorry, it took me a while to sort out how the app work. I can now get it to work locally, transmitting from my router to my phone via WiFi. However when I try to log on to the video feed, after switching off my phone Wifi and only  using my telephone 4g signal. I still get Server unavailable

Are you referring to the 4G server. Read on the site some time back that there is a compatibility issue with some servers..

[al-yeti]

So just to try it, temporarily make it a dmz and it should send all traffic there , then that would show you havnt set the port forwarding correctly

I had some problems with a homehub a while back. even though you think you are opening ports, it just wasn't.

eventually I manage to get them open. there's a certain procedure which I can only remember when I am logged into one. it was actually Lwillis that got me through it IIRC

Had mental note to open ports on older Homehubs individually, dont create one rule with many open ports. Instead create a single entry for each port you wish to open.  Been a while since I did a homehub 2 or 3 though. There was some other stuff in mind about not filling anything in the 'trigger port' for older Hubs. 

 

Home hub 4's and 5' been no problems though.

 

 

it doesn't show on the Hubs, home network map.

 

 

 

I always thought of it as the DHCP list, if it isnt DHCP it wouldnt show reliably on the list.

Yes, one port per rule name, and I've found if you use names for the rules that include words in EXISTING rules, i.e calling it 'CCTV Web Server' it seems to cause merry hell...

[Lwillis]

Aye don't use CCTV in the name, single ports per rule.

Set the DVR to dhcp , save it as a device with a name and check the allways assign this device the same Ip box.

Should be good to go

[timmo66]

yes the above are exactly what I had to do

If you have turned off your wifi on your phone and are using 4g then you wont be connected to your local network, you will need your external IP.

Do a google search using a pc or laptop connected to your network and google whatsmyip.org, thats the IP you need to put in the app to connect remotely.

This is the first time I've done this so, let me go through the suggested procedure.

1. change the CCTV dvr to DHCP.

2. on the BT homehub, in the port forward section set two separate rules/applications for port 80 and 7050, both as TCP.

3. Assign both rules/applications to the CCTV dvr device

4. Click the box on the hub so dvr always used the same Ip address

4. Check the external IP address of my hub at Whatmyip.

5 On the app, set the address  to the external address and the mobile port to 7050.

 

Do a need to restart my hub, after all the changes  to it  ?
