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.

Arthur, checks if the DDNS configuration is correct.
Ola Cardoso, I opened the ports on the modem and router and remote access still doesn't work, only on the local network and the no-ip captured the router's IP after the modem to which I put the ddns, when accessing it gives me the following error dvr not found. What can be? I have to call the operator, which in this case is Net, and ask them to open the port on the external IP?
Good afternoon, following the steps for remote access, be able to access both internally and externally, But after a few hours the access stopped working. When I look at the settings they are all there, both on the dvr and on the router, To get it working again, I have to log in again., then it starts working again for a while after, What am I doing wrong to make the settings reset??
Thank you very much to everyone
Daniel, is that so. On some devices, access via "host name" only works with external access. Others already, usually the youngest, works both non-external and non-internal.
But to access the internal network, just use the IP instead of the "host name".
Good evening, M.a Cardoso
my question is the following.
remote access is done and working.
Access it via the internet, explore internal and external, However, on my cell phone I can only access it if it is on another network other than the dvr's network.. In other words, if I am connected via Wi-Fi to the same network as the DVR, I can't access the cameras, It always says "server unavailable"" Then I turn off the Wi-Fi and connect to the cell phone's 3G network and it works normally.
And I have some clients who do the same process, I use the same modem/router and the same DVR and internal access via wifi and cell phone works. What is the secret?
CARDOSO, YOU CAN ADD ME ON SKYPE TO ASK MY QUESTIONS?

Guys, I couldn't help but contribute information and share my experience.. I was able to access it remotely via the internet and I leave some details here:
1 – They even said elsewhere that GVT blocks external access and that you might have to contract the fixed IP service, lie, I have GVT and I am accessing it via the internet normally.
2 – The settings available on the internet and here on the blog are correct., I followed all the steps, However, there is a main detail that I discovered on another forum, which is trying to access the cameras on another external network and not on the network you are using., it doesn't even work, it has to be on another external network. Internally, you will only access locally.
3 – I use a normal router and made the port release settings explained here on the blog.
4 – Many people get confused when it comes to configuring the no-ip and dyndns services, You can use the external IP of the normal router and test the settings and then you can think about automatically updating the dynamic IP.
Hugs, I hope I helped.
Will, Let's schedule a day and time for you to be at the store so we can take a look at it via remote access..

Good evening M.a Cardoso ,
I already made these settings , I enabled all activex controls and plugs, including some that are not recommended but I enabled them anyway lol, and I still couldn't access the cameras (internally or externally ), I also updated my internet explorer (notbook)to see if that was the problem and it didn't help either. . . . Look, the business is much more difficult than I imagined lol I hope I can count on your help . . .
I await contacts !!
will
ûka, It only has the NET humax modem or is there another router before the DVR?
