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

DVRDVR2

 

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.

roteador2

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. Good evening, Francinelwton

    Para acessar pelo celular você tem que usar um aplicativo compatível com o DVR. Normalmente o aplicativo correto vem no CD, que vem junto com o DVR, ou pelo menos o nome do aplicativo é indicado no manual.

    Qual é o fabricante e modelo do equipamento que você quer acessar pelo celular?

  4. Good Morning, Gomes

    All channels / cameras on the Luxvision DVR have separate settings for each. You can see if in this camera's settings, there is something different.

    But the best thing is to reset the factory settings, and set up the DVR again, do zero.

    If that doesn't solve, the next step is to update the firmware.

  8. Good evening, Lucas

    You can configure using the steps in this tutorial yes.
    One thing to keep in touch is that, some wireless internet providers don't let you open doors automatically. So, if even after everything is set up right, the door is not as open, you will have to call your internet provider and ask to release the ports for you.

    You can use this website to check if the doors are open: http://migre.me/s1ueU

    O DDNS, você vai usar para manter seu IP externo "atualizado", the IP will change constantly, but you will always use the same domain to access your equipment. Without worrying about changing the IP address.

    If you have further questions feel free to comment again. Or ask your question in our forum: http://forum.interside.org
