Info here is research info on the GV-DVR016 and the GV-W1615 built by Samsung for GVI.
The GV-DVR016 and GV-W1615 was built by Samsung as many other for GVI DVR's . They used many of the same chipsets on the motherboards for GVI as they did for the units sold under the Samsung Brand plates.
For all viewing this page. If you have one of these DVRs here's the best collection of info these units known on the web.
From research done while working with other owners of a GV-DVR016 or GV-W1615 and myself owning one of each now. Here's what has been discovered and my best offer to those with them.
First the difference between the two units known by me is that the GV-DVR016 uses a Program name "REMOTE AGENT" for remote viewing the DVR. NOT GUI software like the AR-6***s.
The GV-W1615 has it's network comm. disabled from the factory. The two use the same motherboard as far as I can see, but have different firmware. But they have different firmware installed that is very apparent in the OSD options of each. So if you exchange the motherboard from one to the other it will retain the firmware. The sisterboards are able to be connected, just as the other was installed. The closest known downloadable manual for the DVRs is the one for the SHR-1042 built by Samsung in 2007. www.apexcctv.com/support/Downloads/Standalones/Samsung/GV-DVR1042/GVIDVR1042_Manual.pdf the GV-DVR016 and GV-W1615 were built in 2009, The instructions in this manual is the closest match to the manual provide to buyers of these units downloadable known by owners of each type in different locations.
Working together I have been able to help the owners of a GV-DVR016 with remote viewing problems. I have now remote viewed other owners of a GV-DVR016 using the "REMOTE AGENT" software via the owner setting up an acct for testing it for them. There are two ways to connect to the DVR GV-DVR016, one with using "Remote Agent" program and one by using IE.
First for those that do not have the program RA1648 (Remote Agent) you can connect to the DVR remotely using IE browser. Just enter the local IP address that your router is using or showing the DVR is connect with. exp. 192.168.0.3 [In house network IP] Outside viewing will be available after port forwarding the DVR router address.
To connect enter the IP address that the DVR is connecting to your router with. If you are not sure how to find this info. follow these instructions:
First your router should have DHCP turned on. This allows new devices to be assign a IP address when they first turn on. (Note: The dvr also needs to have DCHP turned on for the two to assign a IP address) But DCHP on the DVR does not need to be turned on the first time it's connected to the router. Once the DVR is turned on enter the network settings and turn it on and then click on update on the OSD (On Screen Display) it will connect with the router and update the other settings it needs.
Now your DVR and router should be connected in house. Look on the DVR for the address assigned to it by the router. Should be 192.168.*.* depending on the router you have.
Now open IE and enter 192.168.*.* and a pop-up alert will appear. Select allow once or always depending on your wish. Select always if the PC you are using is going to be one that you will be using alot. If the PC is not your own, then select once. A new pop-up question will appear asking if you wish to run a program, select yes and the files needed to view your DVR will open.
Now you should see a menu for WEBDVR showing, now. IF you have not change the default port settings or password yet, follow these instructions.
For the port enter 6100
For user enter ADMIN
For password enter 1234
Click on modify then OK
Now click on the connect button on the screen and you will be connected with the GV-DVR016.
If you are not at home you can use your home IP address and do the same thing. If you do not know your home IP address you can use many different sites. But you must port forward the DVR port on your router first. See blog page for port forward (Router setup) for info. Use "canyouseeme.org to test to see if you have port forwarded your DVR correctly and to get your home IP address.
Once you have port forwarded the ports for the DVR IP addresses 192.168.*.* 6100 and 80. you can enter the Home IP address from anywhere to connect to the DVR. If you are using a friends PC for example enter the IP address in the browser line. And the same thing will happen as if you were at home. 111.222.333.444
Video of the connecting these ways currently being edited for public viewing.
Note: No Android APP useable known for the GV-DVR016, but best bet for FREE is "IP CAM VIEWER" there are 3 versions Lite, Basic and PRO. Lite and basic are FREE to try out, PRO is for those that are finding it usable for there DVR. AGAIN THE APP DOES NOT WORK FOR THE GV-DVR016 but updates by the programmer of the APP show some promise in it being able to work.
What does work for Tablets is
Adding a DVD burner to a GV-DVR016
You may wish to add a DVD burner to your DVR if it did not come with one. Installation is mostly the same but you do not use the standard holes, like you would for a HDD. Use the middle holes on the tray to mount the DVD burner. I installed mine using the SATA connector number 4 and the shortest power connector, so that the other power supply connectors can reach the other SATA installation option areas.
Need more recording space options
You my wish to convert from one to the other for better options. While the GV-DVR016 has 4 SATA the GV-W1516 only has 3.
The GV-DVR016 has the internet option turned on, while the GV-W1615 has it turned off.
The GV-W1615 has room for DVD burner and total of 3 SATA HDD and has slot for HDD Hot bay installation.
GV-DVR016 has motherboard room for 4 SATA HDDs one is used for DVD back-up burner.
Using the GV-DVR016 motherboard in a GV-W1615 may be a better choice to some. As it adds the Hot bay option and with the GV-DVR016 motherboard it allows internet option.
Or you my use the loop out option from the GV-W1615 to the GV-DVR016 to record events from the GV-W1615.
The front panel control options are the same, but the button layout is different between the two.
Google search for the GVI GV-DVR016 is very limited, so I'm trying to help others with problems.
Currently all with these units, that have asked for help have been able to get their DVR viewable on their PC remotely.
Additional Note: There appears to be a problem with email alerts using the default settings. Your unit GV-DVR016 my shutdown abnormally if you have email alerts set. Suggestion at this time is to set the unit not to notify you via email of alerts. And see if that does not stop the abnormal shutdowns, you may experience.
It's believed that, wrong settings overload IP servers and they are returning a command to shutdown unit.
Below info will be moving to a GVI history page but left here til moved.
I found this link reporting the connection between Samsung and GVI reported. http://www.securityinfowatch.com/press_release/10490643/samsung-unveils-new-16-channel-dvr
Which is a press release on the SHR-6164 DVR.
While this is not believed by me to be the GV-DVR016, it shows the connection between the companies clearly.
Here's a link to a report on GVI Security history http://www.securitysales.com/article/gvi-security-shuts-down-operations/GVI_Security

What does work for Tablets is
Some good news for viewing your DVR away from home on a tablet. I purchased a UNBRANDED tablet off EBAY for $64.00 which uses Windows 8.1 not Android base OS. Just to see if it would work for remote viewing the DVR.
www.ebay.com/itm/271890255736?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
The good news is YES is will work, you only have to install the program RA and connect to the DVR just like you do now. You may be able to get one for a lower price from another seller. I purchased this one from this seller because it came with the power supply. But there's another seller that has many of these without it. It uses the mini USB port to recharge the battery. You might have a cable already from some other device you have.
I just got it this morning June 13 2015 so I'm still playing around with it, but it works. So if you wish to use a tablet for around the house to monitor your DVR, this maybe a good option. The screen resolution on this tablet does allow you to see the full menu option. Unlike my netbook, which does not. As for using a phone, you might ask a friend that has Windows 8.1 OS base phone and see if they will let you test it out.
I just checked EBay for Windows 8.1 phones and see there are alot of phones with it. You might look into getting a cheap one to try out, that can use your current SIM card.
Walmart has some Windows 8.1 phones for $50.00 www.walmart.com/browse/cell-phones/1105910?facet=operating_system:Microsoft+Windows as well if that helps out.
