I have the Svat CV-500 4 ch DVR in two locations port forwarding on both routers are of the linksys version one valet and ne Sisco E1000 the software is vrtually the same, the difficulty in following the mobile viewing instruction is in getting the 554 RTSP port to be up and the port range that is suggested by SVat which is 1024/1025 - 10000, that is quite a range to have open, the reason being explained that each conection needs 4 rtsp streams to supply enough bandwith to the mobile device ie@ BB, I-phone, anroid. Following this purpose I have tryed as you may have each and every path to alow "port forwarding " and RTSP range of available ports in the linksy routers "Gaming and applicaions" settings "Port Forwading in the following order
My router has the dvr same "name" (may be negligable) that I use for the dvr the router and the wireless SSID + "host" in the router" same name but different passwords "obviously.
Port Forwarding section/ custom ports ( the blank ones)
Name: dvr-04 / internal port: 823 / external port: 823 /Tcp/Udp =choose both / IP address: whatever dhcp is mine is 192.168.1. (59) all you add is the IP under dhcp which is then swithed to static so it doesn't change bt you nw this already.
next port: any name /I call it "i-phone" / internal port: 554 / external port: 554 / protocol & IP addess same as above {although I have seen posts saying to use TCP for this and UDP for range ports 1025-1025 -10000.
next I have put my range in the next Tab in the linksys firmware under gaming and applications ( port range forwarding)
Name: RTSP : beggining port: 1024 / Ending port: 10000 / protocol & IP addess same as above {although I have seen posts saying to use TCP for this and UDP for range ports 1025-1025 -10000.
next: name I called it RTP: beggining port: 1025 / ending port : 10000 / protocol & IP addess same as above {although I have seen posts saying to use TCP for this and UDP for range ports 1025-1025 -10000.
I just recentl added QOS support WMM - (no aknowledgement) (although I may add that now) for the port range 1024-10000 under applications "custom" I believe I call it "i-phone or BB" probably doesn't matter.
You have to make sure to hit the "add" button at the bottom of this setting to save yu may not notice it but it will be there.
I will have to go over these etting to confirm and replicate the usefulness of these settings weather they are esential or not.
The ggod news is that it is working with IPcam viewer (free) and in addition to that (I hope this doesn't change) my DVR is on the "walk feature" cycling through the cameras every few seconds. The good part of this is that since all of my free ports (6 on the IPcamviewer) are used up by other cameras, my Svt dvr is sending al 4 cameras to the one port effectivly giving me 10 cameras on my "free" Ipcamviewer" .
So I have told you abut my Router here are my dvr and Anroid settings
dvr is using DYDNS free: same: dvr name & (host) + (username) but different password registered with the external IP address of the Cable service used where my DVRs are.
The Anroid has the same settings the great thing about IPcamviewer is that it lets you chose the DVR closest to the one you are using, the CV-500 is listed here
So it is:
Name: dvr name
make: Svat
Model: Svat CV500
Host/IP: dvr name (that you chose) +dyndns.org / no http in front of it.
Choose Http port
Port: using my web port/ the same as a computer.
password: your ddns dvr password not the internal pasword accessed by the mouse and local access (when you are in front of your DVR)
Hit the test button and hpoefully like I did today if finally worked after a year and some time.
Some of the things I have found to help me refesh ports are to change them to anything elese that you are not using ( some higher port ie@ 9000, 8000, 12345, 5000 ) Temporarily to allow the mobile device or the dvr /router to refresh these settings.
Also you may see the internal IP addresses from the router and the dvr not matching but that seems to also be inmaterial as long as they resolve to the external IP or you ISPs WAN .
Let me know if that helps and please confirm what I missed I have to get it working on the Blackberry Curve now which is what my client has.
