CCTV not working after internet provider change


Recommended Posts

Afternoon all

Just come back from holiday and out broadband provider has changed from BT to Vodafone

The cameras went down on switching day and are now not working after new router install 

 

Will this be due to the change of IP address?

 

We have a serage SR8004N NVR 


Is there a simple fix or will a technician need to be called?

 

many thanks for any pointers

Possibly . Port forwarding if required may be different .

You need to find the cameras ip address first then go to its web server url 

Easiest way is go to routers ip address and find the list of connected devices . It’s possible new router has a different subnet range which would make the camera not visible …..

How do you connect to the cameras when off site? ie. Web access, Serage App or 3rd Party App.

 

If Serage App, have you rebooted the NVR since swap over? Maybe the NVR needs to reconnect to their Server to provide new WAN IP details.

If via Web access or 3rd Party App then you'll likely need your to update those connections with your new WAN IP address and configure your new router with Port Forwarding or switch on UPnP.

Vodaphone doesn't give you a fixed IP by default, so it will change your WAN IP with each reboot. If you need to use your WAN IP for connection, you can request a fixed IP from Vodafone.

Definitely not my area of expertise, but did you have a static IP address with your previous supplier, and do any of the apps/software you use require that?

 

If so, you need to get a static address with the new provider, and replace the old static address with the new one in anything that expects it.

Is the connection to the NVR wired or wireless to the router?

 

Can you login to the NVR? Do as @Pocster suggests to check it is on the router and to get the IP

 

I'd be checking the following, depending if they are required by the app

  1. Port forwarding
  2. UPNP
  3. DDNS

The connection to NVR is wireless between 2 technomate boosters

First one plugged in to router 

 

Not sure on the static IP address is there a way to find out?

 

many thanks for the pointers

Login to your router, look for the list of connected devices and identify the NVR?

 

Have rebooted both technomates? - I don't have them, but could be worth a shot?

 

Verify you can reach the NVR on your local network, if you can, then look at the app/remote side of things
