The following was mentioned:
Set your router to forward chosen port to internal IP address of DVR

Of course you set up forwarding in the router that is used where the DVR is.

Okay, I hate to be a bother, but I'm still having problems and I would ask for your assistance in this thread. I am unable to connect to my CCTV DVR. However, my problem is slightly different than most as I cannot connect to this DVR either locally or remotely, leading me to believe there is something wrong with the interaction between the PC and the DVR.


What I have:

TM8-Pro Multi-Camera DVR (more commonly known as "TM Pro 8")
Linksys BEFSR41 V3 router
PC running Windows XP
RemoteManager (remote viewer program -- more here: http://kr105556579.trustpass.alibaba...Software_.html)

What I am trying to accomplish:

View DVR from the LAN (specifically, the PC)

What I have done so far:

I have been able to establish a local static IP address for the DVR, as well as fill in the rest of the information. I have set up forwarding for the necessary ports 80 and 6100. I have also successfully installed RemoteManager. So far so good.

My Problem:

I can't connect to the DVR from the PC. I am not able to access the DVR through either a Web browser or the remote management software itself. When I attempt to connect to the local IP address through a Web browser, it attempts to reach dvrlink.net to no avail. When I attempt to use the software, I get DVR System error(1004) when attempting to connect through port 6100, or DVR System error(1003) when attempting to connect through port 80. I have tried changing the ports and after setting up forwarding to the new ports, I receive the same error messages.

Please note that these are different error messages than supplying the wrong login information or entering bad information in general. This implies that I am successfully connecting. However, since the documentation on this program is scant, I'm worried this might be a DVR software error, in which case I would be powerless to do anything with it.

At this point I've tried everything I can think of, which admittedly, probably isn't much. Can someone please help me?

Need help to set up remote connection.

I just set a security camera in my house. I want to remotely connect to the dvr. I follow the tread on how to do port forwarding but it still doesn’t work. Please help me if I miss something. The user manual of the dvr doesn’t tell anything about port forwarding or remotely connecting the dvr. Here was what I did.
1. Connect the LAN CAT5 cable to dvr and router/modem (AMBIT U10C109) WAN port.
2. Set configuration on dvr software( the program name is CMS )






-set LAN
-set DDNS
-set PORT
3. Set port forwarding on AMBIT router/modem



(The public interface ip address I got it from whatismyipaddress.com. it doesn’t change even though I shutdown the AMBIT router/modem several times (so, I believe it’s a static ip address)

I believe this is everything.
At my office with another network, when I tried to use IE by putting this ip address http://71.xx.xxx.xxx, I got this message. "Oops Internet Explorer could not connect to http://71.xx.xxx.xxx"

I got the same message when I put this ip address http://ddns03-a5-e6.dvrdomain.com

"Oops Internet Explorer could not connect to http://ddns03-a5-e6.dvrdomain.com"


Please help!

It is working now. I just found out that the program requires to run activex. After I allowed it to run, I can connect to the dvr via both the CMR security monitoring program and Internet Explorer (not Firefox).

Anyway, thank you very much to everyone who contributed this useful forum.

You have to type your static ip

Go to "whatismyip.com that will tell you what your external IP is.
