Help required to setup hikvision dvr to be viewed remotely

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I am from India.

I am trying to configure my DVR so that I can view it from anywhere in the world remotely.

I have a Hikvision DVR at home model: HVCDS7104HGHIE1.

I have connected a straight type cat6 cable from DVR to my WiFi router which is Dlink DIR-600.

The WiFi router is further connected to Dlink DSL-2720u adsl modem.

I created a device name on www.hik-online.com, I entered serial number so that it can detect the DVR being online.

I also entered customized static IP 192.168.1.* in DVR and forwarded port number 81, 8000 and the rtsp port on my Router(port forwarding) and modem (virtual server) using the above static IP. I changed the HTTP port to 81 on the DVR.

Now when I enter the ddns address on my mobile or any other pc, google chrome says "ERROR_Connection_refused".

and when I type ddns address in the browser, it redirects me to some random dynamic IP and gives the above error.

I have BSNL Broadband.

Can any one please help me with where am I going wrong?

Hi,

 

Sorry I just copy pasted from the invoice.

Its Hikvision DS-7108HGHI-E1

 

When setting up ddns, do I also require to setup Static IP? and vice versa. or are they both different?

I didnt try accessing with the static IP, I'll try and get back to you in an hr.

 

Setting up CP Plus DVR was easy at another place. I am a dealer, who is on the starting point of this cctv business. Still learning the basics.

Hi,

 

I can connect locally via 192.168.0.*:81 I am able to connect to this IP using a PC in the same network. However, I am unable to access it from outside the network. When I try to connect externally, i point browser to www.hik-online.com/{domainID}

it says redirecting and then the browser address bar shows a dynamically generated ip with port 81. Chrome then shows error: ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

I dont know whats going wrong. Can anyone please help?

Check the DVR's UPNP NAT Assignment.

Check if it's set to auto, it could auto assign another port instead of the port u set and use that auto assign port to update the HIKVISION device domain.

 

Other than that, it could be your broadband service provider is routing all traffic through a proxy server, or using an invisible proxy.

Or it could be there are assigning internal IP and using a main gateway out. Check the class of ip you are assigned.

 

You could use http://checkip.dyndns.com and http://checkip.dyndns.com:8245 to check.

They should show the same IP. If it doesn't, that means your service provider route http traffic through a proxy.

 

If both shows the same IP and it's not a public ip, e.g. 192.168.XXX.XXX or 10.X.X.X or 172.16.X.X, then you can't use this internet connection for a server.

In that case, use the HIKVISION P2P EZVIZ function. It'll bypass the private IP issues. I don't like it cause it's a security risk and also depends fully on manufacturer's server and speed might be affected. But it's a solution to bypass your internet connection limitation.
