It depends on how you set it up. Usually you use your IP address or an IP address of your router.

You will NOT be able to connect using the static IP address assigned to the dvr to view remotely. This IP address is only set up to have LAN communication. you can use that number to view your dvr on computers inside of your network only. to view remotely you have to use your network IP address that your router uses. this IP can be found by going to whatismyip.com. write down the IP address.
for remote view (outside of your network) type in http://your IP:your port number assigned to your dvr - this port has to be forwarded or opened in your router
example http://208.173.281.12:8000
your remote connection IP will NOT be a 192-196 number. these numbers are assigned inside of your network only

Thank you for making this clear.
You do need to use the IP address of a router.

By "your IP address" I meant the IP address of the computer when the router is not used in the home network. I should have admitted that this is very unlikely in case of using a DVR.

Hi, and thanks for asking let me try to help you first. what kind of dvr are you using, second also who is providing your telephone. or internet service, and finally you have to use your static IPA. or just asigned one to the dvr itself. thanks and God bless you,
any more question feel free,

Hi, my friend epson, a mac address is assigned automatically to any equipment that is hooked to your router, so I believe, you most dedicate one and assign one to the dvr which is why it can be identifie. but it also required that your modem or router open some port, eg port 80, or port 7777. 21, or depending on the brand and manufacturer of the dvr, it will use two set of ports one for internal, connection, or local. the other for remote connection. or external,
the setting need to be adjusted in the Router, first and if you are going to assign a port to open base on mac address I believed the dvr might not work from outside, so if I am not wrong mac registering, might not work at all, with a dvr, I need more info
