I'm not even sure why you are using a third party server for DVRs.  All you
need is reliably IP info and to setup the router.  When I install a DVR I
setup dyndns for them transparently, and if they don't already have a router
I provide one that supports it directly.  They always connect directly to
their DVR.  So far I have been able to talk many a client through setting up
and using client software over the phone.  I've got DVRs in two countries
that are viewed all over the world.
