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.

Sim Cardoso, Adsl2+router Dsl-500b
Junior, in addition to the two routers your network has a modem?
I decided to abandon the use by browsers and installed the CMS.
hello Cardoso, I believe I have similar problems to my colleagues. I'm sorry if it has already been answered in any question but I couldn't find anything that helps me. Come on, I have in my company internet sppedy and an ecotronic dvr 8 channels, all round. How I live nearby, not to hire another internet service i bought a pair of nano m5 antenna and made a list for my house. In my house I have an astro dvr 4 channels, and I did as your blog shows, it just so happens that I can only get remote access when I'm connected to my network, outside it the ip is inaccessible. I did it as follows, I took the gateway and mask and on the network router I opened a port with the IP that I will use in the DVR, I fixed the ip on the dmz as well as put all the host information I created on the no-ip. On the dvr I put the ip and the port that I opened on the router as well as the ddns information. That was all I did, something's missing? I need to release some more port or configure another port on the dvr as well as on the router, or due to the internet coming from the antenna I need to configure something on the router that is receiving the internet from the antennas (is on bridge, with dhcp disabled and I can no longer access this router)? I don't know if this path is interfering in any way, I'm a little lost, tell me if i'm on the right track and if i'm doing something wrong! Thanks for framing, my email is junior_nishidarp@yahoo.com.br
I have done everything and only access by smartphone … I switched browsers and nothing. . Help me .
Gustavo, try to change the door. This is hard to be the problem, but it never hurts to try.
Have you tried to access on more than one computer and in different browsers?
Hello!
I made all the settings. and then I can access only by smartphone and not by notebook.
I used the door 34599 for smartphone and the 8080 for http.
In the internal network access everything just right, but over the internet, you can’t access it through the browser.
I always used the door 8080 to configure for clients. Could it be a problem at the door 8080?
Hello good morning i'm using internet via radio i already have a public ip but i can't get external access from my cameras could someone help me? My email is: pardal121@hotmail.com thank you
HELLO I HAVE THE H.246 DVR I ONLY CAN DO THE INTERNAL ACCESS ON THE COMPUTER AND THE MOBILE PHONE, I CAN'T ENTER ANOTHER NETWORK AND ALSO I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN A NO-IP ACCOUNT AND PLACED ON THE DVR AND ROUTER TP-LINK AND DMZ AND JA RELEASE THE DOOR 8080 THE MORE I CAN'T DO THE EXTERNAL ACCESS.. PLEASE HELP ME SEND ME EMAEL:AHMED_WAN99@HOTMAIL.COM
SKYPE :AHMED.WANNI
Yes, Edmond, that's right.
What you can use is a router with the universal repeater function, it will take the wifi connection and transmit by cable to the DVR.
Or a WiFi network card like this: http://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-560841315-placa-de-rede-wireless-wi-fi-vonets-ligue-rj45-sem-cabos-_JM
But the most guaranteed is the router itself, come out even more into account.
