Setting up remote access to stand-alone (DVR)

Reading time: less than 1 minute

Set up a DVR, ou stand-alone, to be accessed remotely is no big deal, but for those who have no experience below follows a step by step tutorial on how to set up your stand-alone to view your cameras from anywhere that has internet access.

1º Step: Check the information of your network

click in Start > run > type it CMD e de enter.
No Command prompt which opened type ipconfig e de enter.
Record the following information for later use:

  • Subnet Mask
  • default Gateway

2º Step: Configurar o stand-alone (internal and external access)

As there are several models the way to configure each DVR may vary, but the premise is the same.
Menu > Advance > Network

In Network Type, of O.k in Static and put the information picked up from the computer.
IP: You prefer. ( Example: 10.0.0.120)
Gateway: 10.0.0.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Go back to the Menu Network.
DNS: 10.0.0.1 (the same gateway)
Port: It is the gateway to access your DVR. In this example I'll use port 1227, but you can use the number of your choice.

Obs.: If what you want is internal access, that you can view the cameras from any computer or device that is connected to your internal network, already done you don't need to configure anything else. To view the cameras simply enter your internet browser and enter the following address: http://ip-stand-alone:door (Ex: http://192.168.0.120:1227)

3º Step: Fix external IP

In almost all internet services available, our external IP is not fixed, and yes dynamic, ie every time your router is turned off or disconnected the next made it to connect with your Internet service will be with a different IP. Then this problem, to access the stand-alone we need to know the external IP current network it is connected, since it is not feasible to go to the place where the stand-alone is physically to check the IP address every time the router is turned off we will use a service that updates the IP automatically.
The two most commonly used are the No-IP e o DynDNS, both are paid but the No-IP has the ability to upgrade for free up to three IP addresses per account, for this reason I will use the No-IP for demonstration, but in both the configuration is basically the same.

First create an account at No-IP, after that enter the account created and click “Add Host”.

addhost

On the next page choose “Hostname” I had used to access your DVR, do not change anything and click “Add Host” at the bottom.
addhost2
ready your hostname it is created.

4º Step: Configure the router:

Now what we do is to set the IP and the stand-alone door. The router I'm using in this tutorial is the “WRN 240” gives Intelbras, but the configuration is basically the same for any router.

First you go redirection > Virtual server > Add

roteador

Place the information of the DVR and click save.

after saving, the port and IP that you set will look like this:

roteador4Some people prefer to make the release of the DMZ ports, as it will be shown abaixo, but by enabling DMZ on your modem or router, you will be compromising the security of your device. Always release the doors manually, as shown above..

Computer security, a DMZ or demilitarized zone (demilitarized zone or DMZ), also known as perimeter network, is a physical or logical subnet that contains and exposes an organization's external border services to a larger, untrusted network, usually internet. Any devices located in this area, this is, between the trusted network (usually the local private network) and the untrusted network (usually the Internet), is in the demilitarized zone.

redirection > DMZ > Select enable, enter the IP of the DVR and save.

roteador3

The next step is to configure the router to automatically update your network's IP in your NO-IP account.
Go to Dynamic DNS, enter your account information and the hostname/domain you created, click enter. After the “Connection Status” is like “Connected!” click save.

It is, Now you can view your cameras from anywhere in the world.

  2. I had Vivo's Fixed IP, today is really Dynamic IP, every new connection changes the external IP. I created the host on no-ip but I don't know where to enter the Mitrastar router to make the change.

  3. More information; use a unique wi-fi modem / router provided by Vivo from MitraStar Model:DSL-2401HN-T1C do not know where to enter to create the virtual server.

  4. Good afternoon ! I have a Posonic DVR for 4 channels is the model 5104 since 2014, while Vivo provided Fixed IP everything was fine, now the IP is Dynamic, keeps changing and I can't get remote access by cell phone, on the network I left the static IP as 192.168.1.150 but when the external IP changes I have no access, can you help me ?

    1. A information, I can't find support from Posonic in Brazil, not site, telephone, nothing.

    2. Good afternoon,

      Yes. The issue of IP being dynamic is easy to solve, you're going to have to use a service DDNS. Access the link below to find out what DDNS is.

      But maybe your case is a little more complicated. You have to check if Vivo is providing a real external IP for you. Enter your modem settings, take a look at the status to see what is his WAN IP, then access the link below and compare the IPs; for you to be able to open the ports for remote access these IPs have to be the same.

      Any questions please contact again.
