How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place

[KDw]

Let me revisit this problem I have been trying to solve for months. I have the DVR set up and can see it remotely through a Static IP address on the computer that is in the office. This computer is connected directly to the router box and then to the DVR. What I cannot do, is connect to the DVR from any other computer at home. I have tried setting up a VPN, but was wondering if being on dial up service is the problem (Cannot find DVR). I will be getting 768 speed DSL in two day and will try again to recognize the static IP, but still don't understand the concept. The DVR software says that only two remote computers can connect at the same time. Why only two and is the DVR already one of them?

I have the similar problem with you. I can see the VCR in the same network (At office). But I dont know how to see from home. What should I type in the internet explorer my home computer to see CCTV at office netwrok. Thanks

You should set up the router to forward packets from the chosen port to your DVR. Then you type the IP address of the router with the forwarded port to see the DVR from a remote location. See the first post of this thread for the detailed instructions.

This is a sample setup of one such implementation.... enjoy!

When I bought a DVR the software they gave me had all of the information on how to setup a static IP address. I bought this DVR:

If I ever had trouble understanding the manual I went here:

Hope this helps!

setup: DVR hooked up to 2wire wireless modem router

i have a broadband connection using dynamic ip (PPPoe)

hooked up a dvr to 2wire wireless modem router

registered a dyndns DNS tagging it to my PPPoe ip address

setup up my DVR DDNS setting with my dyndns DNS account login and password

setup my 2wire wireless modem router with the correct port forwarding for DVR (disabled wireless function)

everything went on fine, enter url with the DNS and i was able to remote view my CCTV via DVR

but... in a event of power interrupted, 2wire modem restart and i cant remote view my CCTV anymore.

any solution or steps i have missed out.
or something i should take note about dynamic ip principle in order for my CCTV DVR remote view to be correct.

how do i ensure or set my DVR setting to auto update ip address in the event of PPPoe ip changes to dyndns account according so i can remote view with the dns i registered?

very troublesome to go down to site to check the ip address of the PPPoe and reset the dyndns DNS with the new ip address before it works again.

and some time i have to reset the 2wire modem and remove the port map application and redo and create a new port mapping for the DVR

please help... urgently...
site is too far and troublesome to go down each time modem got rebooted

thanks!

i got a advice from a friend on instruction how to setup the DVR for remote view.

take a look and let me know whats your professional view?

1. Static IP setting
- change gateway value with gateway value from broadband connection details
- change DNS value with DNS value from broadband connection details

2. port forwarding setup on the modem router
- example "192.168.1.10...... port 80 to 80"

3. remote view by entering PPPoe ip address


but i skip all and entered DDNS setting with the dyndns DNS account info and DNS url and got the remote view to work back home and anywhere
until power interrupted and change the ip

I cannot find Application&Game..... in Dataone Modem by BSNL. Is it possible to get connection to view CCTV from remote

I am using Dataone Modem from BSNL. I am in Rasipuram, Namakkal DT. Any one can provide service near by.

OK, Edren
That is what I have been looking for. The power went out and when I try to view, I get DVR not Found. I read what I could find about Comcast static IP. It told me that because the computer was using Vista, I had to jump through a bunch of hoops (hate VISTA) and release the IP and then renew it. When I did that, it actually 'automatically' changed the IP in the config setup on the DVR program. I changed it back to the original static IP that I was given by Comcast. When the power went out, was the Comcast static IP actually changed? How does that work? Can I change it by releasing and renewing again because I have no clue what it changed to. That computer was sitting beside the DVR. I still was unable to ever connect via the computer at home. I am now wondering if that is because I don't have Comcast at home and a firewall is blocking me?
