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.

Good evening. I have a problem and so far I haven't been able to find anything on the net. I can access my DVR on the network through the IP configured on it and HTTP port, but I can't access the internet through the DDNS account I made in Dyndns. I configured the TplinkWR340G router with the Dyndns user and password, I released the doors, but still i can't access. Can anybody help me?
Reply to "Danilo Ramalho":
is yes, but this will depend on the DVR you are using, Not everyone has this option.. The most common to have this option are Intelbras DVRs. You will have to look in your equipment manual., if there is nothing talking about blocking the camera by user level, it is because this equipment does not have this feature.
Answering "Info Help" questions:
"Why Gateway 10.0.0.1 it was even from the DNS 10.0.0.1 explain to me please)"
A= This is because you are telling your DVR to fetch the gateway and DNS information from your router.. So the DVR will use the same gateway and DNS that is configured on your router.
——————————-
"I have another question, you don't need to open a port on the modem ?"
A= If your router is set to "VPN" there is no need to open any ports on the modem. The router has autonomy to open the ports directly on it.
——————————–
I have helped. If you have more questions just comment.
I have one with 4 cameras and I wanted to know if I can put two more with an application to monitor the model is from eco tronic h 264
If the DVR has more ports, you will open them on the modem/router
Example:IP do DVR: 192.168.0.141 Door : 6000
Door 2 : 6001
then you open these two ports using that same IP
I have another question, you don't need to open a port on the modem ?
why gateway 10.0.0.1 it was even from the DNS 10.0.0.1 explain to me please)
why the gateway 10.0.0.1 it was the same as DNS 10.0.0.1 EXPLAIN TO ME PLEASE
Good afternoon. great matter.
I have a doubt,I have a dvr 8 channels. it is possible to access only a certain camera through external access using different users and passwords? Ex. each user and password registered in the DVR will access a certain camera.
thank you
In fact to access externally you will not use the IP, will use the DDNS address. And the port is the one you configured on the DVR.
For example: http://interside.no-ip.org:1227
If you have any further questions, I'd be happy to help..
Good morning I can't access external I don't know what is the default port of my dvr,I wanted to know if this confirmation is correct? tcp port:34567 porta http:8080 porta handset:34599
To know the port your DVR uses, you have to check in the network and service settings on the DVR.
You can ask a question on our forum., saying the make and model of your DVR, so we can forward you" better.

Good Morning. Congratulations on the publication.
I did everything step by step, but in the end when accessing the DDNS address it does not open. where can i be going wrong?
The example is the same?
Thank you
What is the full address you are putting in the browser?
If you want, ask a question in our forum, it's easier to help you.

Until now, It was the best explanation I got. Congratulations.
Now just one more question: when I access externally, entro no internet explorer, and put which ip and port?
