When you want to connect to your DVR remotely, you will need to use either the internal or the external IP address. This will be determined by whether you are accessing the DVR from inside the network or from outside the network. If you are accessing the DVR from inside your network then you will use the internal IP address. The internal IP address will usually begin with 192.168.XX.XXX . No port number would be used since you are connecting internally. The internal IP address can usually be found in your DVR under network settings.
