Configuration at the Car Wash:
I
have a “SpeedStream” DSL modem from my phone company at
the car wash. It has a static Internet IP address, which is preferred so you know
what IP address to use to connect from home. My DVR is software called WashVision from Imagine Innovations, Inc.
(www.coincarwash.com). This software accepts remote connection over
a specific IP port, let’s say it is port 6107.
On the DSL modem, I had to port forward for port 6107 to the
IP address on my Linksys Router.
I have a Linksys Router because I actually have multiple PCs
at the car wash connected together, all utilizing the DSL connection
for Internet access. Then, on my Linksys Router, I had to port forward the same port
to the IP address of my DVR PC. Once
this was done correctly, and once I had my DVR software configured
to accept remote connections, I then installed the remote viewing
version of the DVR software on my home PC and configured it to connect
to the static IP address of the DSL modem at the car wash.
This all went very smoothly with some help from the guys at
Imagine Innovations.
