In reply to a post by Xris:

Is anyone else wondering why the OP needs/wants the router's admin pages accessible? Surely he needs to be forwarding to the camera's (web)server?

I'm not wondering because I read the first post where it is explained.

What DVR / security system are you using? Does it have a web based GUI or does it have software specific to the DVR? Typically you get two types of system, the ones with web front ends require port 80 forwarding to the IP of the DVR and the ones with specific software require a range of ports forwarding to the DVR (IE the ones I have installed require ports 30010-30020 forwarding to the DVR)

Hope this helps!

Hello All,
Just for your info, this has been resolved okay.
I seemed to be unfortunate in that every location I initially tested the remote access, the IP was blocked.
After Xilonet confirmed he could access the IP I tried other locations (thanks for your help Xilonet!)
..... and yes, I was just using the router's page as a simple means to confirm I could access the IP remotely.
Regards to all,

You're welcome.

Glad you have it all working now.
