Setting up remote access to stand-alone (DVR)

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

cmd4

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

DVRDVR2

 

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

DVR4

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”.

addhost

On the next page choose “Hostname” I had used to access your DVR, do not change anything and click “Add Host” at the bottom.
addhost2
ready your hostname it is created.

addhost3

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

roteador

Place the information of the DVR and click save.

roteador2

after saving, the port and IP that you set will look like this:

roteador4Some 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.

roteador3

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.

  • Cardoso,Good Morning!
    I was able to access the dvr via internet, but the images do not load,i have access to the entire dvr menu, but when I go to see the images the camera boxes appear without images (I've already checked the option for all cameras).
    Is it something in the configuration or browser (chrome com o plugin IE Tab). Ah! I downloaded several apps for mobile and tablets, windows fone and android, but I also couldn't configure.
    If you can, give the hint via skipe?

    appreciate

  • I'm trying to install a stand alone to be accessed remotely.
    my internet is provided by a company in the neighborhood, with fixed ip: 192.168.0.14 registered for my pc's mac.
    I took it and played it on a router, clone or mac, and beauty, it's working.
    I configured a fixed ip for the stand:. 192.169.2.103,( beauty, he is connected to the network.)
    I set up an account on the ip on the router in ddns.( beauty, it was connected)
    configured the dmz tb.. (beauty)
    I released three ports on the router I use at the stand, 90, 34599, 34567

    So,
    when I try to access the stand by its ip, everything is fine! show
    when I try to access a stand on the network itself, everything works out, I type the host registered in no ip, then the door.. and access it right! Show

    Now, when I go to access from another network it doesn't work.

    one thing that is not working, is that when I access my ip through some website to verify the number, vejo que é diferente do que está mostrando no "No IP" maybe I think that's it. not thinking..

    So, what should I do? ask the network technician to redirect some port? configure something? which?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    graciously, John Mark

  • Cardoso, thanks for the tip, I will try via DVR, I'll inform you later.
    AH! For information level I could view the cameras before via http://www.dddns.org, that came configured on the DVR (Shingling), but for some time now it started to give a login error.

    thank you

  • Marks, have you tried setting DDNS on the DVR?
    Some devices don't really come with the option to use No-IP, they put the most used which is DynDns.
    Take a look at your DVR's settings to see if it supports No-IP.
    Anything contact me on Skype: interside.blog

  • Hello M.A Cardoso I have the following problem I have access to my DVR through the internal network but I can't via the external I have already configured DMZ releasing the DVR's IP
    And virtual is for the doors and I can't get external access, can you help me via skype or e_mail ?

  • Richard, is it just a router or there is also a modem where you are accessing?

    I can help you through Teamviewer yes, it's just agent making an appointment. Tomorrow, for example, Starting at 19 hours.

    You can contact us by email blog.interside@gmail.com.

  • Buddy!

    great explanation, but I did everything as you recommended, but it does not release ports at all on the router…

    I need to do this procedure on a client this afternoon, I've done everything and there was no way…

    You can try to help me with Teamviewer, or something like that ?

    How can I contact you ?

    If you can give me a hand, I thank you.

    hug!

  • Aristides, on velox modem you will have to address the port 8000 to router IP.

    As for the problem with IE, não tem a opção de desbloquear o arquivo "dvr_ocx.cab"?
    Usually the browser gives the option to download the file even if it is from an unknown supplier.

    Try using Firefox, if the DVR is new it will probably work.
