Hello. Forwarding the port defined on your DVR using the TCP option on the router should allow you to send video out of your local network. Some routers will group TCP/UDP together and that should work, too. HTH.

I do not have enough information to give a specific answer, but previous experience makes me consider the following possibilities: RTSP may allow a remote connection to the DVR speaker through which to speak; HTTP may allow connection to a web page hosted by the DVR; TCP and UDP may individually or jointly be used to remotely connect to the camera or video recorder using a phone or tablet app.

For a camera, the HTTP port is forwarded, but change it to a different port.Remember that a forwarded camera port leaves it open to the internet and network cameras are vulnerable to attack.

The best way is a vpn client installed on the router. A vpn server, used to hide your porn viewing etc, is different than a vpn client.

Google the term "vpn primer".
