Trying to connect my CCTV DVR to my phone - **Please Help**

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I'm a complete n00b at this, but i'm trying to connect my CCTV DVR to my phone, i tried many different instruction videos on youtube but still can't seem to get past the first stage (forward porting) through my virgin media router.

 

all the step by steps i've come across state that i need to check my DVR settings to get the ''HTTP port'' and ''Mobile Port'' but i cant seem to find it?

 

 

i've screenshot my dvr/menu, can someone please help

1. change Network Type to STATIC

2. set IP address to something like 192.168.0.200 to avoid IP address duplication.

3. set Primary and Secondary DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 , respectively

4. Port forward port 9090 to IP address 192.168.0.200 (if you choose this one)

5. check if the port 9090 is really forwarded , using canyouseeme.org service.

6. set DDNS service either on the router or the DVR

 

If you pass all the above steps, then you can connect to your dvr:

- local PC: through Internet Explorer at http://192.168.0.200:9090 or by Video Viewer software.

- remote PC: through Internet Explorer at http://YOURDDNSDOMAIN:9090 or also by Video Viewer software.

- smartphone: using EagleEyes app . Recent versions of this app for iPhone sometimes don't work with some DVRs

The DNS, gateway, and mask settings have already been filled in properly for you by the DHCP setting fetching them from your router. Leave those alone, or copy the same values back in if changing to "static" blanks them.
