Hi guys,
I wonder if any of the IT gurus could possibly help me. We have this CCTV setup in the shop. Its separate from the main PC in the office and it is just connected to the modem and not the computer.
I have ziltch experience with remote viewing and all that apart from tightVNC that i use to monitor my miner from the PC in my room.
What ive done so far:
1) Set my PPPOE settings on the DVR to the same as my PC. (Not sure if that was wrong? not sure what other settings on the DVR itself will need to actually connect to the internet)
2) Setup the DDNS as advised in the instruction manual with my No-ip details.
3) Tested it and it didnt work.
4) Installed No-ip software on the office PC but then everytime I went to my No-ip address it would log into my router (Guessing it was assigning the router address and not the DVR address to the No-ip url)
5) Tried many times changing the IP address on the DVR and updating my No-ip account but it just doesnt want to log into the DVR.
Now im not sure what to do, the network options on the DVR are:
PPPOE, DDNS, NTP, Email, SNMP, More settings (server port, http port, multicast IP etc)
There is a USB port on the DVR which I assume if i connect it that way to the office PC and use the software to view the camera streams and then use tightVNC to log into the office PC and remote view the shops cameras from home, but that'll mean:
1) Buying a very long USB cable
2) Always having the office PC on which I wouldnt really wanna do
Im sure it has something to do with the network options on the DVR, if you guys could perhaps point me in the right direction Id really appreciate it. (Again, ive never done remote viewing and setting up severs like No-ip before but def willing to learn and try), Also, I think one of the issues could be port forwarding on the router?
Thanks a mill guys!

The basics is that you need a NAT rule on your modem so that it knows it should pass the traffic onto your DVR.
