Welcome to Costar Connections

Digital Video Recorders are becoming the standard for video surveillance systems. With digital technology, many end users want to network and remotely view their surveillance system. This can be accomplished with a static internet connection and remote client software. However, most DSL and Cable broadband internet providers do not offer static IP addresses or the price for a static connection is cost prohibitive.

In contrast, a dynamic IP address creates problems for the remote client software because the customer’s internet provider randomly changes their IP address and the remote client software cannot locate the DVR over the internet. It’s like calling someone with a telephone number that is constantly changing without notice. Our DVRNS/DDNS Service solves this issue by providing a static DVR Name that stays updated with the ever changing IP address of the DVR.

In addition, Costar Connections has services that allow users to remotely view or search a DVR’s video from a web page without the need of the remote client software.

Costar Connections also provides DVR active connection monitoring and DVR health status reporting that reports the DVR system’s status at timed intervals. Costar Connections provides an inexpensive, fast, and reliable way to connect, view, search and monitor your Digital Video Recorder System.

Costar Connections strives to ensure the Registration, Setup and Management of our system is very user friendly and to maintain highly cost effective products and services with our customers. We place a high value on customer service and technical support. We pledge to respond promptly to your questions and/or problems.
