You need to port forward on the router do you know how to do this ? In basic terms 

 

Access router go to firewall or port redirection or whatever it is called on your router 

 

Port forward the http port and the rtsp port to the ip of your recorder , in Samsung if it shows you one number then that is the one your forward if it is a range like 554-558 , then 558 is the one you would use to connect to it in the app

 

But a range of 554-558 is also forwarded to the DVR if needed 

 

Or something like that

 

What router you got

Thanks so much for the feedback. Am using Huawei Echolife ONT router. Am not sure if it has the port forwarding function. Will check.

Port forwarding would open internet traffic on that port to your device, while allowing your CCTV to function you are also opening an attack route into your network.

You would be relying on your CCTV recorder to protect your network from attack for as long as it's connected to the internet.

It would be recommended to use a good quality router/firewall and a VLAN/DMZ with port forwarding or setup a VPN for best security.

Good advice , start with basics of port forwarding first
