    Samsung ipolis and Sky Router

    Thanks for the reply. I am using noip and it is working OK. I am not sure if noip needs re registering every month like some of the other free ones if so I might have to go for their paid service. No very good that both Samsung and Sky tie you down to DDNS services of their choice.

    Samsung ipolis and Sky Router

    I have been using ipolis DDNS with my Samsung SRD-443 and virgin router without problems. I have now moved to SKY and there is a fixed choice of DDNS providers on the router that does not include samsungipolis. In fact the only match between the DVR choice of DDNS and the router is noip.com...

    Wired doorbell to trigger wireless button?

    Tony - You cannot just use the existing doorbell button to trigger a wireless one because there will be a voltage across the button when it is not pressed and this will upset the wireless switch. There are ways round it but the easiest route is to buy two wireless doorbells and set the code so...

    Samsung SRd443

    Festive My SRD443 installation is not perfect but it is what I expect from the camera/recording resolution. If you would like to send me a PM with an email address I will send you some screenshots from my cameras and set up for comparison. Regards

    Samsung SRd443

    Thanks for the offer re email notification settings. I checked the settings as suggested but no joy so far. My SMTP port is 465 with SLL encryption (Virgin Media) but matching the Samsung settings and the email settings both for port 465 and port 25 has no effect. I am using a Virgin media...

    Samsung SRd443

    I rang Samsung helpline about the email notification settings and like you they could'nt answer any questions, they were nice and easy to talk to but all they could suggest was to use Google mail. I can't get past the test stage so if you could let me know the general settings you used I...

    Samsung SRd443

    Have you tried the 'live view' settings in the Network menu? Mine was defaulted to low quality and moving to high or very high gives satisfactory images via Samsung Smart Viewer, on the low setting it was as you describe. BTW I use Chrome and did not have any software installation problems...

    CCTV DVR Advice

    Can't vouch for the AVTech but the Samsung is spot on if the spec suits you. No problem with remote viewing on Ipad and Android phone.

    CCTV Advice Please

    Matt Agree with the remote viewing on Samsung SRD443 but have you got the email alert to work? Tried both Gmail and other addresses but cant get it to work. Samsung suggested setting up with Gmail as sender and having recipient on another email server but still no joy. Suspect it may be a port...

    Samsung SRD 443 DVR

    After becoming frustrated with a Chinese DVR with flaky software and performance I am thinking I should cut my losses and go for a DVR with some support and a name behind it. I am thinking about the Samsung SRD 443 as a replacement. Although on the face of it the spec. does not look as good...
