IE or DVR software remote viewing

[edwardpic 0]

I was wondering if my Argus DVR which has standalone software can be viewed through IE for remote monitoring?

I have read alot of people use the browser to view there set-ups and was hoping to do the same with mine. I am having problems viewing remotely right now it is very spurratic, and the setup on the router has me stumped.

For some reason i can view the cameras locally with the IP of the DVR, but when viewing remotely i have to use a different IP. That IP is the one that comes up when i use the website what is my ip. Iam new to this, but shouldnt i be able to type in the IP of the DVR say: 192.168.9.130 in the DVR software and view it remotely?

If there is a website that has the IE software for me to view my cameras remotely that would be great. Thanks in advance.

shouldnt i be able to type in the IP of the DVR say: 192.168.9.130 in the DVR software and view it remotely? yes, as long as you follow some rules.

 

first the Argus DVR WEB Server has to be set to a port. Make note of that port number. Most likely it is 80 if it is the only DVR.

 

Open IE and enter 192.168.0.130:"port number" in the address line to view DVR from local area network (LAN).

 

To view from the wide area network (WAN) you must setup your router to port forward "port number" to IP 192.168.0.130. THEN, in the IE address line you must enter your WAN IP address....you WAN IP address is assigned to you by your internet provider and maybe static (never changes) or dynamic (freq. changes). This WAN IP address is unique to your internet account via your internet provider. You can got

http://www.no-ip.com and use the tools to find your WAN IP address. Once you have that you can enter that address into IE followed by the :"port number".

 

hope this helps
