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.

need help friend
to configure a TECVOZ DVR.
actually I need to configure for external access, because on the internal network I can already see normally. I'm using TPLINK to receive the internet signal and pass it on to the dvr via cable. the model is the TL-WA901N… What do I need to do…I tried for these tips on the site, but the way to configure is different… remembering that I already made the account on the no-ip site and I already have the user there. how do i release this signal to external? thank you and wait
Fernando, try to use this one from MultView: http://download.multview.com.br/CMS3.0_Eng_V1.0.0.28_14.04.22_Win_T_N.exe
If it doesn't work try other brands of DVRs, or try to find the firmware model. The model can be found in the DVR settings.
Juliano, you will have to configure the modem yes. On the modem you direct the ports to the router's WAN IP, and on the router you direct the ports to the DVR. The DMZ is the same, from the modem to the router and from the router to the DVR.
I have never used LUXVISION's DDNS, but I believe it works normally.
M A, Do you have any link to a CMS program that works for these DVR "xing ling" that we buy on the open market?
Good evening!
I'm pretty layman on the subject, despite having already fiddled a little in my dvr.
In my case I have the net modem and my router connected to it.
I don't have to configure the NET modem as well?
Another question. My DVR is LUXVISION, that makes the dynamic DNS service available to me free of charge. it works?
"Anonymous", in the home of the internet radio you will probably have to ask your internet provider to release the ports you configured on the DVR and router.
If your DVR supports, the secondary DNS can be the same as the gateway. as for the doors, you will have to open both.
In this case, the secondary DNS would also change putting the same end of gatwey and in relation to the ports of my DVR it has the HTML port that I put 1227 and the media port I can put 1228 and I will have to open both ports on the modem?
Good afternoon.
Cardoso, to set up external remote access to the DVR on the internet via radio, router settings are the same?
Hello friend. I am installing a central here in my shopping center and you are to be congratulated for the information.
However, I would like to know a few things before performing the steps described.
The network here works as follows:
1 – The internet arrives through a modem (cable connection – NET).
2 – Later, from the modem goes to a switch.
>> In this case, my idea is to put a router just for the DVR, what do you think?
3 – From the router I intend to put it straight to the DVR.
The question is : This router that will be "below" do modem, can stick with static DHCP ? I'll have to mess with the NET modem configuration to forward the ports ?
Help me! I added you on Skype – anything, talk to me by skype : jose.icaro@outlook.com
