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.

Josimar, Try using the "IE Tab" plugin" for Firefox or Chrome.
Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/pt-br/firefox/addon/ie-tab/
Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ie-tab/hehijbfgiekmjfkfjpbkbammjbdenadd?hl=pt-BR
And check if these are the Active-x that you have activated: http://youtu.be/bYY679s9a1I

Hello friend, I access the dvr externally, I log in but I CANNOT view the images, It keeps loading all the time and no image appears. Uso IE 11, I activated active-X, e tb uso quick time. My net is 10mb, uso 'host name'. The problem is only when viewing the image, Do you have any advice on what the problem might be?? Please try to help me. Thank you.

Wellington, Check if your modem/router has the option for No-IP.
If you do not have, and you can only use DynDNS, send me an email and I can release a "hostname" do DynDNS por R$ 15,00/ano.

Friend, my dvr doesn't have the option to register via no-ip, how do I do it because I already have a no-ip registered?
The only real tutorial. If anyone doesn't get it with the explanations here,give up. The rest is for people who think they understand and don't understand anything,including YouTube videos. Thanks.
For anyone having problems accessing their cell phone(as I was, try to unlock the DVR's mobile port on your modem !!! #translation 😉
Francy, You have forwarded the ports from the modem to the router and from the router to the DVR?
Leave DDNS configured, preferably only on the modem.
I have an oiwtech router and a zte zxdsl modem 831 series. I connected my dvr directly to the modem and asked for automatic IP, Then I set it to fixed and restarted.
I took it off the modem and put it on the router to get the network IP and restarted.
I configured the ddns and everything but locally I can access my stand alone light 2w dvr. When I try to access from another network it gives an invalid server. what else do I need to do?
I configured ddns on the dvr, on the router and on the MeyePro cell phone app.
When I try to access directly through the browser by entering my host and port that have already been released on the router I cannot access.
