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”.
On the next page choose “Hostname” I had used to access your DVR, do not change anything and click “Add Host” at the bottom.
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
Place the information of the DVR and click save.
after saving, the port and IP that you set will look like this:
Some 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.
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.

Neilton, you have tested the ports to confirm that they are open?

Thanks M A, but once again thank you very much. I'll try this configuration and come back here with the outcome..
Could you give some information? Why do most "CCD" cameras" produce purple color when focusing on something green (example: planta)? Would you have an email so I can send you a photo and see what I'm talking about??
M A, give me your current account to make a deposit because your blog is of great help and you are always willing to give help in exchange for nothing.
good morning everyone, I did all the steps described above but I can't get external access,
I only have access on the local network,
when I try to access from outside the local network it doesn't work.
Glue, Do you only have a router or do you also have a modem or another router?
Fernando, what did you put in "Gateway"?
I believe that when they translated the DVR software, they translated "Gateway" for "Gateway". So just enter the Router IP, I don't know if you've already done this.
And the "Net port" is the "HTTP Port".
Friend, I already configured the no-ip only on the router, só no dvr, I already created another host on no-ip and nothing.
It only works when I leave the "Dynamic DNS Update Client" program (DUC) for Windows" working on PC.
It's as if the modem or DVR cannot access the no-ip website.
M.A Cardoso, I'm trying to configure a different DVR than mine but unfortunately I can't. It only has the following fields to be filled in:
IP:
Sub-rede Mascara:
Entrance door:
DNS:
Get IP(DHCP)automatic: Yes or no
Port of Net: It is already filled with 9101 however it can be changed.
How do I get it working on the internal and external network??
I repeated all the information I did on my DVR but it didn't work. Mine has primary and secondary DNS, TCP and HTTP port but in this other one I was unable to identify these fields.
Glue, remove the DDNS configuration on the DVR and configure it on the router.
Katia, It could be the channel configuration 1 no DVR, Take a look at the settings of each camera and note if there is any difference between the camera settings and the others. Or restore factory settings and configure remote access again from scratch.
Friend, I have access to the network and outside, However, for this I need a DUC program that updates my IP on the no-ip website, my provider uses pppoe, I have already entered the config in the dvr but it does not update the ip on the no-ip website automatically, what to do?
My router is WRN150 and has a no-ip option.
