t3chsupp0rt 0 Posted November 10, 2011 what brand DVR do you have? Is it compatible with the Eagle Eyes App? Have you set it up for remote (off site) viewing? if not then thats why you can't see it off the wi-fi internal network. You should have "PORTS" listed in your DVR's Network menu. those ports need to be setup on the router/modem so you can see the DVR remotely. get back to me with some more info and I'll help out.

tomcctv 190 Posted November 11, 2011 8000 8000 will have the same problems as 80 with some ISPs change your port to 83. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t3chsupp0rt 0 Posted November 11, 2011 8000 Just the one port, ok. In your router which menu are you creating this port rule in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

t3chsupp0rt 0 Posted November 12, 2011 Have you tried calling the manufacturers tech support line.. if not I would, you are obviously missing a key piece of info and we can't help. Or just put the ip of your DVR in your routers DMZ this will allow for remote access. I'd call tech support first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cbr1 0 Posted November 14, 2011 hope this may help, although i may be stating the obvious, you say that you have opened the ports, the d-link requires a firewall rule to be created also, you will find this under application rules, enter the ip you are forwarding to and also the ports,this will then allow acces through the firewall.
