Remote access dvr through router

[Thedarkknight228]

Hi all,

I have got new avtech dvr at my home to record and view my cameras at my house. I have connected the dvr to my router through Lan cable. I went into network settings and filled out all the settings including ip address of dvr box, port number, mask and set to static.

I then accessed my router through my laptop. Router is an eircom zyxel router. I set the firewall to low and went to port forwarding settings and set up opening the port I entered on dvr network settings.

I am using eagleeye app to view my cameras, I opened the app and it found my dvr box through the automatic setup with the ip address that was on my dvr box. I connected to the dvr box and it let me viwe the cameras on my wifi.

I am now looking for to access my cameras outside my network for when I am away from the house.

What else do I need to do to make this happen. Do I need another ip address and open another port to allow access to it?

Thanks in advance for your help.
