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.

Eduardo, What is the manufacturer of the DVR??
GOOD EVENING
I HAVE A PROBLEM, I HAVE FOLLOWED THESE STEPS, EVERYTHING IS OK, BUT WHEN IT IS REMOTE ACCESS FROM A SMARTPHONE, DOESN'T WORK, AND THE INTERNET IS VIVO FIBRA IS IT THE ONT THAT IS BLOCKED
Danilo, You didn't find where to make the settings on your vivo modem to free up the ports, or found it and made the settings but it didn't work?
Anonymous, what is the no-IP address you are using. If you want, send me an email.

Good evening,
I can't connect the router (tplink) with no-ip in dynamic DNSS. All data is correct but it doesn't connect. Using the >ping username.no-ip.org is normal, that is, It is responding exactly to my IP. Why is it not connecting?? Grateful.
Leandro, Some routers do not have the option to configure No-IP DDNS. Almost everyone has DynDNS.
If you want I can release a "hostname" do DynDNS por R$ 15,00/ano.
I created an account on no_ip but when I put it on the GVT router there is no way to put the name of the provider, it only accepts what already came with it
"Cameras and Electric Fence", Normally, if the modem's IP is in a different class than the router's IP, it is necessary to configure the modem as well.. And DDNS is preferably configured on the modem.
This problem of not opening the websites and going to the search is really strange. Take a look at DNS. If you can, switch to Google's public DNS. (8.8.8.8 e 8.8.4.4)
Another thing are the doors, I advise you to change the doors. This port you are using is the list of commonly used ports, It's difficult to happen but there may be port conflicts. (http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_de_portas_de_protocolos#Portas_1058_a_47808)
Try doing a "reset"" on the router, Check that everything will work correctly and then configure the settings for access again.
When the DVR only supports IE, one of the alternatives is to use a plugin for Firefox and Chrome, which simulates IE. The most used name is "IETab", available for Firefox and Chrome.
hello Cardoso. I've done several remote accesses on Dvrs but the last one I'm trying is giving me trouble. It's the following, there is a internet modem, humax router and Dvr Luxon. I was always able to access it without needing to touch the modem, I just open the ports on the router and configure the normal Dvr and I did so. In this location there are some computers connected via cable to the same router where the cable DVR is also located.. I did all the normal procedures, checked the doors OK. I was able to access it on my iPhone via Meye but it keeps updating and sometimes I get a login/password error and then I access it again and it works, I believe there must be another program to access. In IE I was able to access internally via internal and external IPs but not via dns no-ip Ok. But what's strange is happening is that the computers on the network only access the Google website and search, When I click on a website it doesn't open, It's the same in all browsers. Does not open any website, only Google search it brings the search result but does not open the page I click on. I don't know what could be happening, I didn't change anything else on the router, I just opened doors and in the dmz. The most curious thing is that the Wi-Fi works normally on the note. Open everything normally, only access to the Dvr didn't work because it's an Apple note without IE. The Dvr seems to be a little old (I wasn't the one who provided it, I'm trying to do remote access only) and it doesn't seem to support Chrome or Firefox. The data is:
IP do dvr: 192.168.0.111
Porta HTTP: 9090
Mobile door: 8000
Additional ports on the dvr: 6001 e 6002. Open them all.
I'm thinking it might be an IP conflict, but at the moment there were only 3 connected machines.
The problem could be the door, in MEye the mobile port is used and to access the computer the http port is used.
You can access the DVR from your computer? If yes you are using the http port.
