Help with remote viewing

Post by treesloth »

I am using ZMarch 1.24.1, tried searching through shaman package mananger and didn't see a dyndns updater. Is there another way to set it up. I saw elsewhere people use a programm called yoics. Any help would be much appreciated.

ddclient is already installed. All that is needed is to edit /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf and then add ddclient to the DAEMONS=( ... ) line in /etc/rc.conf.

I must have missed this somewhere, but I can't figure how to set up privelages for when people view my cameras over the web. Could someone point me int the right direction to get it more secure and prevent people from changing options.

You will first have to turn on authentication:
Option -> System -> OPT_USE_AUTH

Then you can configure users in the Options -> Users tab

This Tab doesn't appear in Options until you turn on auth.

you can chnage the apache port number from the apache conf file.

alternativly if your router supports it you can forward port say 82 to 80

Thanks.

Do you know where is this file and how to change port?
Next, I need fixed local address for server (no DHCP).
