Connecting Samsung Security Camera DVR to Apple 802.11n airport/time capsule?

I have looked at google, mac forums, Samsung website, and Apple support. I cannot figure out the right settings and info to get this DVR connected.

I even tried Youtube.....nothing is working.

Equipment:

Samsung SDS-P5122

Airport 802.11n 3rd generation, 5.6.1

Time Capsule version 7.6.4

Connections:

-Internet from the wall, to modem from internet company, to airport

-ethernet from Samsung DVR to airport

I followed the Samsung directions

-went to the website, registered/named the product

-went to the dvr, setup the connection mode, interface DHCP "connected succesfully", wrote down all of the port info

but when I tried to perform the DDNS Site setup, which is where I entered the product name from the online registration and connect to the router, "failed to find a router".

I have tried port forwarding per the web using the airport utility, but i do not know enough to know why it isn't working.

What could I be missing?

Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Airport 802.11n 3rd generation, 5.6.1

Time Capsule version 7.6.4

Just want to be sure. Do you have both a 3rd generation 802.11n AirPort Extreme base station and ? generation Time Capsule? ... or just a 3rd generation Time Capsule?

If both how are they configured with each other? Regardless, what is the make & model of your Interent modem?

What are the ports, both UDP & TCP, that Samsung says are required for their DVR in order to access it from the Internet?

Very similar problem. Samsung DVR SDR-C75300 trying to connect to a Apple Airport Extreme running 7.7.3. It fails to find the router. I have looked everywhere but most answers predate my OS and Base Station software.

Any help?

Was your DVR able to connect before or has it not ever been able to do so? If it did before, were you using a different router or this same AirPort Extreme? Is the DVR connected to the Extreme by wire or wireless?

the DVR is new. this is the first time I have tried to hook it up.

It is direct wire to my Airport Extreme.

Apparently my biggest problem is opening port 80

same problem with my Samsung SDR 5200 . tried looking it up, I opened Port 80 as they suggested from my internet provider but looks like something to do with adjusting the "port Mapping" option?

Opening ports on the router would only be necessary if you are trying to access the DVR from a remote location. Is that what you are trying to do?

Then I would suggest that you start a new post as your issue, although similar, is not exactly the same as that by the OP. That way you can possibly get the solution you are looking for.

FWIW. Port 80 is typically used by web browsers to communicate with HTTP. I am assuming that you are not having any difficulty accessing your DVR on your local network.

When you re-post be sure to include what port(s) are needed. The DVR's user guide or the manufacturer's support site should provide you with this information as it will be critical for the solution.

The problem the DVR says check with the router/apple and Apple is now saying check with the DVR to see what is needed? So here lies the problem

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that Samsung support is saying to talk to Apple support, and vice versa? There is no Apple support personal here. This is a user-to-user community.

If this is the case, you need to create a new post and describe what exactly is not happening and what you need help with.
