Why canīt I view my DVR Cameras from another Internet Server?


Dear Linux Comunity Friends, I have a DVR with a Linux Operating System, I have a problem viewing my cameras from another internet server that is not the Internet Server where my DVR is. For example I have spoken with my internet provider and checked DNS, Gateways, ports and all the numbers that I configue my DVR, which has a Linux Operating System, and even made the updates, but still I cannot view my cameras from outside this same internet provider. Please help me find a solution to my problem.

sincerely thanks,

Dj

It is not clear what you mean. First you talk about internet servers, then you talk about internet providers. What are you actually trying to do ?
An internet server is (in this case I think) a piece of hardware, a computer.
An internet provider is the company that deals with the network.

Firstly, your internet provider must allow you to run a server (the DVR). They must allow the ports to be used on their network. So from a web browser (presumably) you can access the content provided by the DVR.

Are you saying you cannot access the DVR from a different place, a different provider, or both ?
Or are you saying that you can't access the DVR from another server ? Which would need explaining further.

Do you have a fixed ip address ? Do you have a dynamic ip address with a dynamic DNS service set up ?

Dvr problem

Thank you Mr. Smoker for answering quick, my internet server is OK in other words my computer desktop is okey, but I am having problems connecting to my DVR from another internet provider, I have a dynamic Ip address and a dynamic dns service, I have already spoken to my internet provider so they have open the ports that i need and also have given me the correct numbers to configue my dvr gateway, ip, dns, etc. But when I try to see my cameras for example from another country, I cant see them.

Please advice,

Sincerely

Dj

Who is your internet provider ?
What is the domain name that you use to access the DVR ? (you can private message that to me if you want it kept off the forum)
Do you have a router between the DVR and the phone line ?
Can you access the DVR ok from any machines at all, and where are they located ?
