After weeks of trying to view my security cameras through internet explorer I finally found a fix this morning. After lowering all the security settings in the Internet Options for ActiveX I still received the error "ActiveX needs to be installed from disc or download: Here" but the link was broke and I never received a disc. I found this handy file (attached) online after hundred of Google queries refreshed the page and voila!
Now to the next problem, connecting through a mobile device. In the instruction manual for the generic h.264 DVR that I received in a PDF after multiple attempts to contact the ebay seller it lists that this DVR is compatible with the option for mobile view.

PDF Instructions attached
In the menu options of the DVR there is no mobile port selection.
My options are: TCP, HTTP, & UDP
TCP is set to 34567
UPD is set to 37778
HTTP is set to 8080
In sub menus I have:
UpNp
-External HTTP Port is set to 8080
-External TCP Port is set to 34568
I also have a sub menu for RTSP that I do not know what it is for
Listen port is set to 554
UPD Start port is 20000
UPD Port Num is set to 1000
In order to access the DVR I go to 64.7.***.**:8080 and it works perfect
Ports open in dvr (All selected as TCP & UPD)
100
554
8080
34567
37778
34568
Everytime I download a new app to view cameras I try every port and I usually get a failed to load after multiple attempts, but I believe I do not have the right settings setup in the DVR. All other instructions I have found online for similar DVR's have an option for mobile port. Is mine called something else?
