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.

Gustavo, a good option is to reinstall the firmware of your device.

Marcos, this DVR setting is almost the same for all DVRs.
Yes, you can save the images on your computer. The best way to do this is to install the program that comes on the DVR installation CD., in this program you have the option to record the images on the computer through remote access.

hello Mark. Yes you can, i do it through the CMS application.

Enjoying the post, Has anyone out there already had problems with VIVO-Speedy's new VDSL modems-routers??
It doesn't do port forwarding at all! Not even the DMZ function works …
Does anyone have any experience to share regarding this "wonder" ?

Good afternoon.
I would like to know if this configuration works for any DVR because what I have and' Yes Giga 8CH brand.
Another doubt, if I install the DVR in my business I can record the content on my computer at home, if it's possible how do i do it.
No further, Thank you in advance for your attention.

So Cardoso, I tested it and it didn't work. What I was searching for, looks like I need to open the port on the antenna as well. I will test it and post the result here.!

Ok, if the door is open theoretically it should work.
After you tested the port you tried to access the cameras on the external network?

"SHAKE HOUSE ICE CREAM", you have DynDns update system installed on your computer?
If you have uninstall it. And remove the dyndns configuration on the DVR, and configure on the router.
Leave Dyndns configured only on the router. After that do the tests.

Cardoso, I couldn't access my modem, I believe he is in bridge because I downloaded the scan and he does not appear on the network, only the router ip appears! Therefore, all modem ports are open theoretically correct? The port that I released for the dvr is the 8082, I tested it on those port sites and it really appears as open. What do you suggest me?

dear cardoso, I have a dimys dvr, and a tp-link router, and I have paid dyndns registration, the question is, because I'm only able to remotely access my 3g cell phone, when my pc is on, when i leave it off most x i can't access my cameras, I already added the dns inside the dvr, what is going wrong, sometimes I can even access it with the pc turned off, but kinda hard
, with the pc turned on it always works…you can help me…Thank you!
