Setting up DVR to be used from remote location:

1. Connect your DVR to your router
2. Use menu on DVR to assign internal IP and gateway and port number.
   
   This Local IP must be in the same Gateway range as the Router. If you are unsure check the Router and locate the Status section, or goto the Command prompt of Windows XP and type in ipconfig.
   
   Look for Gateway. If the Gateway is 192.168.1.1, then you can make the DVR's IP anything from 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.255.
   
   Also you will need to use the same SubNet Mask, which is typically 255.255.255.0, and also use the same gateway.
3. Next find out what port your DVR uses. The easiest way to it is by reading the manual of your DVR. Look for the network section of it.
   
   Also if it comes with network software, check out if in the connection area the software shows the port number.
   
   Also check the Server software/Programming (Network section of it) to see if the port is listed.
   
   In many cases it will be as simple as just Port 80, which is an HTTP port.
4. Set your router to forward chosen port to internal IP address of DVR.
   
   To access the Router itself, use the Gateway you just located. If the gateway is 192.168.1.1, then enter that into the location edit box of your browser and then click the Enter button. A username and a password are typically required, but it depends on a router. For Linksys use "admin", "admin". By default DLink doesn't require any username or password (It is highly recommended to change the default password).
   
   Once you're logged into the Router, in the Applications & Gaming Section / Servers of the Router, you need to add a Server/Application. Enter the port number and select TCP only. Where it says Port 0 to 0 enter the same port number twice. Or if your DVR uses for example, ports 3550, 4550, 5550, 6550, and there is nothing else utilizing these ports in between, then you can actually just enter one line, 3550 - 6550.
   
   Enter the DVR/Cameras internal IP.
   
   Enable it.

5. Set up additional entries for as many ports the DVR uses, to the same local IP. Check your DVR manual and it's networking section for all additional ports required. Also check the DVR software itself.
   
   If your router has enough free entries, you can seperate them. Use it like DVR_HTTP for the browser port, DVR_AUDIO for the audio port, etc.
   
   If you are going to use VNC to a PC DVR, then you would need to set up port 5900, and perhaps call it VNC_DVR, for example.
6. You have a static IP so you don't need to use a Dynamic DNS sevice . You just enter your static IP and your router forwards packets to your DVR.

The DVR has default IP and port 80 do i have to change that you mean no i think

# Set router to forward chosen port to internal IP address of DVR. For example: route port 80 to 192.168.1.10.
# You have a static IP so you don't need to use sevices like www.dyndns.org

How can i set the router to do that
And for educational reason i have create a hostname in dyndns.org how can i set it up

Every router is different. There are no any general instructions on how to set up all of them. Manufactures always provide manuals so you should refer to them.

Using dyndns.org with your DVR

• Create an account with a username and password.
• Login
• "Account" -> "My Service" -> "Add Host Services" -> "Add Dynamic DNS Host"
• Enter and select hostname
• Enter IP address of your computer
• Click "Add host"
  In your DVR software:
  • Find DDNS network settings
  • Enable DDNS
  • Enter username, password and hostname from dyndns.org
  • Apply the settings

Then if your IP address changes, DVR software sends the data to dydns.org and updates it. This allows to access your computer from remote location by using not a weird IP address, but a user-friendly hostname.

p.s.Please note that routers can also be configures to work with DDNS (instead of configuring DVR software, you can configure your router).

I am trying to connect through ADSL router. but i got the message "failed".
in DVR, should i use DHCP, static ip or whatelse?
what IP should I assign for DNS host?
in ADSL router, again, what is the IP that should be assigned to DDNS?
Please Please Please reply

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place (static

 

yagoms0a, If you don't have static, you need to set up a DDNS. Have you set up your DVR to work with DDNS as described above?

Have you set up your router to forward data to a DVR as mentioned above?

What is the significance of port 80?

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place (static

 

Hello, I am in the same train, but got a problem that is giving me a headache, I'm connected to the internet using a 3G PCMCIA card, and my provider is not giving me a public IP address, what I see as my IP over the internet is different than the IP I see in my computer for example using IPCONFIG, I tried connecting to a dyndns and also using a VPN with no luck, is there a way around this? how can I get an IP that will direct me inside my computer not having a public IP address?

thanks very much

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place (static

 

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?

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place (static

 

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

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place (static

 

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.

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:

"http://www.asianwolf.com/cctv-dvr-w4dvr.html"

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

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!

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place (static

 

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

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place (static

 

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?

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

 

I only have static IP on my DVR and the ISP setting on the router and on the DVR network set up I only see IP, Subnet, Gateway, AV port, Command port. And the DVR and my system is connected to the router and my system get is IP automatically from the Router but my DVR is set to Static IP.

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

 

10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255, 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255 IP addresses are common in home and office local area networks (LANs), as globally routable addresses are scarce, expensive to obtain, or their use is not necessary. These addresses are private because they are not globally delegated, meaning they aren't allocated to a specific organization. If such a private network needs to connect to the Internet, it must use either a network address translator (NAT) gateway, or a proxy server.

Ask your ISP whether you can get a real IP address or port forwarding.

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

 

yep its a port forwarding? wat shud i do now?

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

 

Ask your ISP whether you can get a real IP address or port forwarding so that you can use your DVR.

Hi

I am trying to set up my camera so i can see it from external location. I have a dynamic IP so i created the DynDNS account and went through that configuration......I have a LJD Deltaware Camera and it came with an application I can install to view the cameras. I want to know if I can use this on a WEB INTERFACE because I want to view it online from anywhere instead of having to install this software all the time?

When i try to go to my HostName it comes up with error so is there somehting I need to do to see it on IE7 or Firefox etc rather then using that application?

I have the 8 channel Dedicated DVR - http://www.adata.co.uk/default.asp?t...28Deltawave%29

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place (static

 

Instead of DVR can my router be used as an server with som port Number

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

 

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

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place (static

 

I don't really understand your question.
You can use port forwarding of your router for accessing your DVR or something else.

Re: How to connect DVR via internet to watch CCTV cameras from a remote place (static

 

You get two different IP addresses because your router has it's own broadcasting IP to be able to log into your entire network, your ip when you do ipconfig is your computers personal ip.
Set up a static ip - to have it static the last octet has to be under 100
set up a port number most defaults are 80, 8080, 7000 etc
log into your router do port forwarding on the corresponding port number for your DVR.
go to whatismyip.com
write down this ip
type in http://the ip you got from whatismyip.com:port number
EXAMPLE: http://208.173.132.83:7000
This will allow you to remote view your DVR through your network ip
This is a WAN IP
the 192-196 ip you get from ipconfig is a lan ip and only used within your network, you will NOT be able to connect to this port through theat IP address. You have to use the IP off of whatismyip.com

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

 

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

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

 

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.
