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.

"Anonymous", your DVR is probably in a different IP class than your notebook, this prevents you from accessing the DVR internally. To solve this you can connect the DVR to the router, or put the router as a bridge and use the same IP class as the modem.
Where are you testing external access?? If it's on the same network it won't work either.. Have you tested the ports to see if they are actually open??
Good evening,Cardoso,I followed all the steps and I can't access it either eternally or internally. I have a Vivo Dlink modem and a router. The DVR is connected directly to the modem and access from my note is via the router's Wifi. This could cause some problems?I have to do some configuration on the router?Thank you
Hélcio
"Anonymous", What browser are you using to access the DVR??
"Agn B.S", Some radio internet providers allow configurations to be made only on the customer's router, NAT is configured on the same customer router.
But others don't have this simplicity, you will have to contact your internet provider and ask them to release the "ports" to the IP you need.
You will have to go to the client to find out which of the two cases is his internet..
Good evening!
I bought a stand alone zmodo h.264 4ch,zmd-dd-sbn4, but I did everything to configure, I can't even access the internal network. I need to access it via the internet.
I would like step by step guidance.
Hello friend, I really liked the article, I'm just starting out in the CCTV area, So far I haven't had any problems with the internal settings., But I have a big problem on my hands, In the neighborhood where I live, the internet is via radio, and access to the modem is restricted to the internet provider, I would like to know if the possibility of me having external access without the need to change the modem, only making changes to the router, I have already created a DDNS account, can you help me?
Thank you in advance for your attention
Guys, I solved a customer's problem through http://www.dlinkddns.com, just create an account (free for anyone who has a Dlink modem or router), to host (ex: cliente2.dlinkddns.com) and configuring DMZ and Dynamic DNS on the customer's Dlink router or modem. Therefore, every time the operator's IP is changed, it updates dlinkddns to the new IP. In this way, if you need to access the DVR or cameras via CMS or browser, just connect via the host created at dlinkddns.com.
GOOD EVENING CARDOSO,I SET IT YES, THERE IS A MOBILE OPTION I PUT ON THE DOOR 1975. I WILL RESET THE DVR AND LEAVE IT IN THE FACTORY DOOR.
