Portfowarding problem

I have a R6700AX wifi 6 router. Everything is working but cannot get the port forwarding to work. I setup ports for my DVR and I can connect through wifi if I use my wifi metwork 192.168.1.125 but I cannot see my dvr if I go outside my network through the router. I have checked the router ip address and all the information and port number are correct. Is there a known issue or do I need to make other adjustment.

    What is that DVR?

     

    Where does 192.168.1.125 come from?

      Dahua hd-dvr8cvi (8 channel camera EVR)

      The 192.168.1.125 is the network address of the dvr that I setup in the DVR
      The dvr connects fine to the router as I can see the images on the app through the local wifi network. But when I try to connect outside my network I cannot log into the dvr.

        Connect how?

         

        You have some sort of  mobile phone app that is supposed to do that?

         

        Remote access is usually down to the people who made the camera system.
