Has anyone ever done anything like this before? I have an 8 channel camera setup with a DVR that I would like to access while away from the shop. DVR mfg says it can be done but I sure am not able to with their directions.

This is the first question that you need to ask and then set about configuring the system to support your needs which could be very involved or quite simple depending on exactly what it is that you wish to do. A simple off site storage in case of robbery is easy to achieve but to look in real time through a specific camera is much more involved.
you just connect the DVR with an Ethernet cable to your network (router) and then setup the DVR so that it has a IP address. For a router, you will need to allow port forwarding to access over the internet.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
