    Hi guys, Im looking for an idiots guide to setting up remote viewing of a dvr.
    I bought and installed an Eneo cctv system for my house.
    As I work away quite a lot I would like to be able to view from laptop and android phone.
    The system is working grand I just cannot follow the remote viewing instructions that came with it.
    I can view the dvr when im on same network in the house using NetViewer.2.0 whick came with the dvr.

    The dvr does not seem to be obtaining an external ip address.

    There is probably some settings changes needed on router.
    Its a Huawei O2 router.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The DVR should be assigned an internal IP address.
    Probably best we do this step by step.
    Do you know your internal network range?
    What is the IP address of your router & modem?

    Router IP is 192.168.1.1
    Dvr is 192.168.1.100
    When I change dvr from static to dhcp the ip address changes to 192.168.1.20 but I loose communication to my laptop in dhcp.

    Now goto network settings on the DVR and post what other fields are required.

    And now go to your router and forward ports 80,9000 + 18004 to 192.168.1.100

    Change DNS 1 to 8.8.8.8
    DNS 2 to 8.8.4.4

    I might have to change router for this as options are very limited on it

    The portforwarding is on the router.
    Change the DNS on the DVR,
    Sorry if I was confusing.

    Now find your WAN IP address from the Router/modem pages. Try and access the device via your mobile phone and see if it connects. You may need to use a dynamic dns service to remotely connect to your device unless your Router/Modem is given a WAN static IP address.

    Are you using fixed or mobile broadband?

    Is your home internet connection fixed line? The WAN IP is the IP address you'll be connecting to to view the camera.

    Does your modem/router support ddns (dynamic DNS)?

    I don't think your modem supports dynamic DNS which will make it very difficult to keep track of the WAN IP of the router which is dynamically assigned every 24hrs or so - depending on your provider.....
