    Hi bruceUK,

     

    See if there will be any improvements after the firmware update. I don't see a reason why they would not work. 

     

    Thanks,

Hi,

 

Thanks for getting back to me, in answer to your questions -

 

1. Yes, The cameras are all accessible locally. They connect to the SecuritySpy server and all cameras can be viewed through the SecuritySpy built in webserver by http://192.168.1.101:8000 or https://192.168.1.101:8001

2. No, I am using a wireless internet connection that connect directly to the SRX5308 via a CAT5 cable, and the SRX5308 handles the authenification to the service provider

3. 4.3.3-5

4. They are the ports used to accces the SecuritySpy webserver

 

Thanks in advance

 

Bruce

Hi bruceUK, 

 

Regarding number 2, does the wireless internet connection use 4G/LTE? Does it give a public IP to the SRX? 

 

Thanks,

    Hi,

     

    Heres some more info here - 

     

    http://www.thinkingwisp.co.uk/how-it-works/

     

    Essentially it works the same as a cable broadband connnection - albeit with wireless between the mast and my receiver, which then connects to the SRX via CAT5

     

    and yes it does provide a public IP address to the SRX

     

    Regards

      Hi bruceUK,

       

      I see. It works like a regular internet connection. Can you check the ports using this link.

       

      Thanks,

        Hi,

         

        Interestingly it tells me 8000 is closed, but 8001 is open. Both are setup in exactly the same way, so I cant see why 8000 does not appear open
