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.

" ..", try to use the door 8080 instead of the 8090.
Your network only has the modem or has a router too?

Cardoso, was using the explorer 8. I installed IETab, however it would be necessary to do some configuration in this add-on? It still doesn't work.

Cardoso, I will open the modem port, is more or less the same thing with the router? Here my network is 10.0.0.1, the antennas I put in the end 02 and final 04. I use crohome and ie, and for mobile I'm using eagle eyes. As I said, when I'm on the network it opens normally in the browser and in the app. I will try to release the port on the modem, it seems like it’s just what’s missing and let me warn you

M. Junior, which browser do you use to access the cameras?
Tenta usar o "plugin" IETab on firefox or slurry.
Some equipment does not work in Internet Explorer 8 forward.

So the host is working yes.
You have configured ports on the modem and router?
On the modem you have to route the ports to the first router, and from the router direct to the DVR. The second router like this in bridge mode doesn't need to configure it at all.
Once that's done, test the ports using your external IP.
The two antennas are using which IPs?

hello Cardoso. I'm trying to remotely access a LUXVISION DVR. I've done all the procedures, but I'm having difficulties opening technicolor modem ports. At the door opening conference 34567 e 34599 by my ip, reported to be closed. already the door 8090 I couldn't even add it. maybe i'm doing something wrong. To; Matheus

Hello, it's OK?
I'm trying to remotely access a DVR through a web browser and I'm not able to, but I can access it from my cell phone and the CMS application, only in the browser nothing works. I've already done the procedure to enable activex and nothing works… if you can help i'm grateful. Thank you.

Ahh...I pinged the host here and it responded normal...sign that it is working right!

Cardoso, it is like this: modem, Tl-wr941nd router, nano loco m5 – nano loco m5, tp link router (brigde) => dvr
The problem may be in the noip? Never configured before, I don't know if it's right.. is there any way to test? as I had said, I created a user, cadadtrei a ddns.net host and put it in the dvr and in the router. On the dvr I just put the ip gatewey, mask and the door, there's nothing more?

Ok, have to configure the modem too.
What equipment are you using to transfer the network from one house to another?
