Hey guys. I've got a QSEE brand camera system and I've hooked everything up fine. To my dismay I found that the ISP of my dad's shop doesn't allow port forwarding(fail), so I can't forward port 85 to access the DVR from home. They told me that instead of forwarding they could give us a set of static IP's and that would take care of the problem.
I had them activate the static IP's and I got the router assigned to one of them without any problem(I'll call it x.x.x.90 for example), but I'm afraid that I just don't know how to go about getting it set up. I tried going into the DVR settings and manually configuring it as the static IP address x.x.x.91, but when I tried to open
http://x.x.x.91:85 or
http://x.x.x.91 from an outer network device it wouldn't connect.
I also tried manually configuring within the DVR to the IP 10.0.0.6(a LAN IP) and could then acces the DVR from a computer withing the network by going to
http://10.0.0.6:85, but when trying to connect from outside the network to both
http://x.x.x.90:85 and
http://x.x.x.91:85 they did not connect.
Can someone tell me what I may be doing wrong here?
