Netgear c7000v2 Port forwading from home to Hikvision Camera at Work?

AC1900 Wifi Cable Modem Router

Model c7000v2

 

I have hikvision cameras at work and I'm trying to set up remove viewing from home. I was told I need to port forward ports 80, 8000 and 105554 to the NVR IP which I know. However when I got to router login  > advanced > portforwarding > add custom service > I enter the ports starting 80: ending 10554. 

 

What values do I put in for the "Internal IP address"? - If I put in the router login the 192.168.0.1 - It tells me it's invalid IP. 

 

What values do I put in for the "External IP address"? - Is this where I put in the NVR ip?

Also any sort of values I put in that doesn't give me an "Invalid IP" error gives me another error which is " Invalid Data. Internal IP Address is not in LAN!"

 

I have been trying for a week. Please help!

       Not a very detailed description of any of those devices.

     

    > [...] I was told I need to port forward ports [...]

     

       "told" by whom?  Are you following some instructions which others
    might be able to see?

     

    > [...] I enter the ports starting 80: ending 10554.

     

       Forwarding _all_ the ports 80 - 10554 is not a good plan.  If a
    port-forwarding on the C7000v2 lets you specify only Starting and Ending
    ports (as the User Manual shows), then I'd specify three single-port
    rules: 80:80, 8000:8000, and 10554:10554.

       That would be the LAN IP address of your (unspecified) "the NVR".

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
    for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Read.  Look for "Set Up Port
    Forwarding to a Local Server" and "Add a Custom Port Forwarding
    Service".

     

       Presumably, your (unspecified) "the NVR" is your "Local Server".

     

       Pay attention to the suggestion: "See Reserve LAN IP Addresses on
    page 66."

     

    > [...] If I put in the router login the 192.168.0.1 - It tells me it's

       Yes, because you want the router to forward this stuff to the NVR,
    not to itself.

     

    > What values do I put in for the "External IP address"? [...]


       I'd say "Any", unless there's exactly one fixed external/remote
    address from which you intend to use this stuff.

     

    > [...] Is this where I put in the NVR ip?

     

       Your (unspecified) "the NVR" is not "External", is it?

     

    > Also any sort of values I put in [...]

     

       Not a useful description.  How many billion addresses did you try?
    If you didn't try all of them, then which ones did you try?   (And
    why?)

    Internal IP address is the IP address of the Camera.

    Dont forward the whole range. Just specific ports needed. this is for security reason.

     

    External IP address is your WAN/Internet IP address. It should be autopopulated.

         The (not-too-clear) User Manual (page 101) says:

       

            13. In the External IP address menu, select one of the following
                options:
                o Any. This options [sic] is selected by default.
                o Single address. Enter the external IP address.

       

         I see nothing like it on my D7000[v1] (V1.0.1.78_1.0.1), so I know
      nothing, but I read that as access control affecting the external
      client, not anything to do with any address on the modem+router.
      So far as I can tell, the User Manual doesn't say whose IP address that
      might be.
