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.

I use a TECVOZ DVR in Dynamic DNS I can put it on tecvozddns.com.br?
Permalink
Good afternoon,
You will come in http://www.tecvozddns.com.br, will register and create a hostname. With this hostname and the individual password you will configure the DDNS on the DVR.
Any questions please contact again.

my DVR and a Luxvision 4 cameras, configured and CMS and this is only giving motion detection but there is no image how to solve
Permalink
Good afternoon,
What port do you use to access the browser, and what port are you using to access through the CMS?
Permalink
Very good step by step.
Only in my opinion, I TI, there is no perfect world. In my case, for example, follow or script, but my computer is on a wifi network and when i go to register at noip.com it takes the internal ip and not the external ip that would be the router.
How to solve this?

Good afternoon,
Compare the WAN IP of your router with the IP of the link below, check if they are different?

Friend I have a similar problem in two jfl dvrs, the fois are configured and with remote access, but when I open it to see the cameras the connection is dropping and it's not the internet, What can it be?
Permalink
Good afternoon,
The two DVRs are on the same network?
You are using DDNS or P2P for the connection?

boys .
I added the dns to my DVR , when trying to access
http://marinasdosol.dlinkddns.com I fall on my ADSL modem
http://marinasdosol.dlinkddns.com:6036/
I fall for a page that doesn't exist . I did the whole DMZ and virtual process nothing to work

Good afternoon,
Which port you have configured for the DVR?
If it's the door 80 advise to change, this port is used by many other resources and can therefore cause conflict, and apparently your modem already uses this port to access it, why you are falling on the modem page when you put the domain alone or with the port 80.
