No; a DVR just records TV; it does not have a WiFi router built in.
im trying the same thing so far no luck
Not necessarily. For example, a USB printer is attached to your computer but does not gain access to the Internet, nor does a keyboard or mouse that is attached by USB or wirelessly. I think what you might mean to ask, however, is whether a device that is attached to your wireless network that can see your computer (such as another computer, wireless printer, etc.) is automatically able to access the Internet. The answer to that is maybe. It depends on whether the device is designed to even try to gain access to the Internet. There are certain types of devices that may utilize the internal wireless network but that do not have the "intelligence" to attempt to venture beyond the local environment.An example of this is a wireless security camera such as I installed recently for a client. It connects by standard wireless networking back to its DVR on the same local wireless network and so the camera in and of itself does not have any Internet access: it knows only about its DVR since that is all with which it is designed to interface. The DVR itself can be made addressable if access from across the Internet is configured and the router is set to forward the ports over to the DVR for said access.So, the answer is that it is a possible maybe but is determined by the device and whether all the appropriate ducks are set up in the appropriate row to make it happen.
One way is to have your CCTV camera connected to a DVR that has a built-in web server. The DVR is in turn connect to the internet via a router (usually, although non-router configurations are possible with some DVRs). A DVR connected to the inernet in this way is assigned an IP address and becomes addressable like any other device on the internet. In laymans terms the DVR "serves up" the video to the remote user who enters the IP address in the address bar of their browser. As an example, let's say I'm in Hawaii and I want to check my backyard garden in Michigan. I'd go to any computer that has a fast internet connection, fire up the browser, type the IP number of my DVR into the browser and hit RETURN. The computer in Hawaii searches the internet for that IP address and basically asks it "what can you give me?". The DVR "sees" the request and does the only thing it knows how to do - serve up the video. In Hawaii I can now see streaming video from my CCTV camera setup in Michigan. Now, is this FREE? That's up for debate since you have to buy the DVR, router, fast internet connection, etc. (nothing's free, is it?). Do I need a third party software or website? In this case no. You can find DVRs with this capability all over for less than $300 for basic models. Remember this is a simplified example and factors like firewalls and router details will need to be negotiated on an individual basis. You should also consider using a third party, like smsVideoGuard.com, who can watch over your video feeds for a really low price like $1/day. This is important for crime prevention. Hardly anyone can be online 24x7

Connect the Ethernet cable to the top port of the DVR and an open port on the router. Check that the router has DHCP enabled (essential). Do a red button (inside card door) reset of the DVR. When it's booted up, do thus: Menu -> .....setup -> system setup -> network setup -> restore defaults. At this point stop and go to your router and disconnect AC power for a minute and plug it back in. When all the lights settle down, go back to the DVR and run the "connect now" command. You should get a "connected to Internet" message.
DVR's that have ethernet ports are capable of connecting to the internet. With DirecTV, it is used for On Demand downloads and it is also used to access media on all of your PC's that are connected to the same network as the DVR unit. With TiVO units, you can actually go to YouTube and play media from that site.

Dish Network's DVR receivers typically require a subscription to access their services and record programming. While you can purchase a Dish DVR receiver, ongoing fees for programming and features like DVR functionality are generally part of the service plan. Without a subscription, the receiver may still function for basic TV viewing but won't provide DVR features or access to Dish Network channels. Always check with Dish Network for the most current policies and options.
