Here’s a quick summary of the most common HDMI-CEC functions. If ip is 1.2.3.4 and port is 8888 then you would type "1.2.3.4:8888" into the web browser.While there are some fringe cases where you might wish to disable HDMI-CEC (such as turning off the HDMI-CEC function in the Nintendo Switch, so every time your kid puts their device in the dock to charge, it doesn’t change your TV input), but for most people using HDMI-CEC all the time is an enormous convenience. Now from web browser go to a port checker site like, input in the port you used above and make sure it is open.įrom a phone or other device that has mobile data and not on your network you should now be able to type in your public IP (top box from port checker website) and the port and access the dvr webpage. Go back into router configuration page, and find port forwarding.Ĭreate a new rule to forward the IP of your DVR with a local port of 80 and and external port of anything you want over 8000 (so you could do say 8101) Now reboot DVR, go to computer and type in DVR's IP address into web browser, if this works then you should get the DVR webpage. Your subnet should be 255.255.255.0 and gateway should be set to your router's IP. The first three sets of numbers need to be the same as your gateway address, and the last set needs to NOT be in the DHCP reservation list. Now go to your DVR setup and configure it to have a static IP address. If this starts at x.x.x.2 and goes all the way up to. Now go to your lan settings and find DHCP Reservation list. Now input the gateway address into a web browser and access your router's configuration page (will need router username and password, if you have never logged in before it is likley default for that device which you can google) This will give you your computer ip address and the "gateway address" will be your router's. One other roadblock you may be facing is that ISPs often block port 80 (the common http website port) for both security and because they want you to pay extra for a business plan.ġ) You really want a Static IP for this type of setup.įrom a computer, open a command prompt type and type "ipconfig". Thus you have to do what is called port forwarding to direct traffic on a specific port to a specific computer/device. So in short all unsolicited/unrequested traffic is blocked, and to your router you trying to access your DVR from the internet is unsolicited. Your router is the very important first gatekeeper between your home and the internet and if some outside person/computer requests access and the router has no record of you asking for them to access you, then the router denys it. Your DVR also has a port that it is watching communication for (that is your device port and http port. Every computer and device (including the DVR) has a local IP address. You then have device IP addresses provided by the router (or manually set by you which is called a static IP).

The DDNS provider links your URL to your public IP address and uses software on your PC or router to be alerted when this IP address changes. To circumvent this you need what is called a DDNS, which i believe is what that samsung url is providing. On most residential grade internet plans this address changes every few weeks depending on ISP. You have a public IP address, this is the IP address given to you by your ISP. You have a few layers of roadblocks here, let me try to explain what is going on without too long of a post.
