For the AR-6*** see below info, for GV-DVR016 see page GV-DVR016 and GV-W1615 info

I recommend using the default ports first to confirm that you can connect with your DVR, then you can change them and test your desired port settings.
NOTE: Be sure you have setup "USER" names / Password and Privilege levels. Found under "SYSTEM" "USER INFORMATION" "USER SETUP" for more on this click on this link.

I use the App "IP Cam Viewer Pro" on my Android tablet now. I set my router to forward port 80 protocol TCP and UCP . Basically you just select "Samsung" for Make "Samsung GVI AR-6160" for Model. (Note: this covers all three models of the AR-6***s)
Then for Host/IP I entered my AR-6080 IP address set the port to 80, then which camera I wanted to add and entered my Username and Password for the DVR.
For outside viewing here's what I did to get it working. I can use the APP by entering my Domain name for my DVR on my Android via the App at Home or away.
NOTE: Tested from outside of my Home Network 5 Dec 2014 by someone with the App.900 miles away from my location and works.
This is a step by step instruction on setting up your DVR and router, so you can view it remotely, when away from Home network.
Your IExplore address or App "Host/IP" will depend on how your choice.
IP ***.***.***.*** or
Domain ########.dvrdydns.com or
Domain ########.dyndns.org ####### is your name you choose.
Click on images to enlarge
Here's what I did to get mine to work.
1. Set router to DHCP yes, I set mine up to start at IP ***.***.***.40.
I change it to 40 for my own desire of keeping track of the Home network IP's.
2. Power on DVR if not turned on yet.
3. Log in as Admin
The preset password for the administrator account “admin” is “1111”.
4. Select "Menu" then select "Network"
5. Select "IP Setup" then select "DHCP" if not set to "ON" set to "ON" then select "Apply Changes".
The DVR will get the IP settings from the router.
The DVR's IP will be something like 192.168.0.** mine is 192.168.0.** and remains at this setting as long as the router settings are not changed.
6. Port setting for network for AR-6*** is 80 by default. I have two GVI AR-6*** so I have the other set to port 90.
7. Now you will need to Port forward the 80 port (what ever port you set the DVR to) on the router.
You can double check the DVR or DVRs port by running the AutoIP program on your PC with GUI software.
8. Log into your router and find the router menu for Port forwarding and Port forward the DVR IP address port.
9. Now test to see if the Port is seen on the web by using this tool. http://canyouseeme.org/
You will get this page then click on "Check Port" if your DVR port is not 80, change the port on the page to the port of your DVR.
If you Port forwarded correctly you will see this message.
Now when away from home you can view the DVR via your Home IP address. ***.***.156.60:80 seen here your address will be diffident. If your Home network is not using a DSL or Cable type connection or were your IP changes often. You may wish or need to register a DNS site for the DVR, This one is FREE http://dvrdydns.com/ others are out their as well. So it's up to you which one you want to use. I helps to have a registered Domain IMO because you don't have to remember your IP address nor have it saved as a favorite in your remote device.
Click on "Registration" to create a acct for your DVR.
Watch this video for demo, it's what I used to resolve my questions.
Enter the information onto the form and submit. Note: math question you enter the answer to the problem, not what is displayed.
After Submission you will get this screen.
Enter a name you wish to ID your DVR and then press "Request Domain" you will get this screen.
Now enter the newly created DOMAIN name into your browser to log-in to your GVI DVR's GUI software. For Android and phones enter it into the App Host settings. Check and see if it works for IExplorer you should get GVI GUI screen if the program is installed on the computer.
NOTE: You will need to setup a User setting on the DVR other than the "ADMIN" one if you have not already done so. Here's what I get when I use my Domain name after log-in to the GVI software.
The Domain address works for my Android via App as well.
You can also set your router for DDNS service, my modem only allows DynDNS.org and they have a FREE 14 Day trail version. If you are concern with those FREE service ones, they have a $25 a year fee for the service if you do not cancel the FREE trail.
My modem only has two settings for DDNS Service "Disabled" and "www.DynDNS.org"
If you have your port forward to other than 80 you will have enter the Domain name with the port of the DVR. Such as being that I have two DVRs one at 80 the other at 90. I enter http://*********.dvrdydns.com:90/ for the DVR on port 90. (****** is your Domain name)

Below is a list of some of questions on the site for the App. Click on the question and it open the page with answer.
Info from the hit-mob site with info on setup.
Setting up your IP camera
Many people have asked me how they can view their IP Camera(s) away from home.
They can view over wifi but can't view over 3g because their ISP keeps changing their wan ip address.
Remember, addresses starting with 192.x.x.x and 10.x.x.x are internal ip addresses and are not route-able over the internet (just about every house/business uses those addresses).
See the steps below to setup with a free dynamic dns service like afraid.org.
Alternatively, if you prefer to do things manually, see the steps below for:
1. Make sure you can view your IP Camera from inside your house using a web browser. For example, "http://192.168.1.23". If your camera is using DHCP then you'll have to check your router for which IP address it is using (or use the manufacturer's tool to find the camera).
2. If your camera is using DHCP, then setup your router so that it always gives the same static IP address for the camera based on it's MAC address (will be visible from the router). Alternatively, you can just set the camera to a 192.x.x.x IP that is outside the range of the DHCP range.
3. Now that your camera has a static IP address visible from inside your house, you need to make it visible from outside the house. Setup your router to allow port forwarding from a high port like 10123 on it's external interface to the camera's IP address and port 80. See http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/ for more details. Once this step is done, you can now access your camera from outside using the external ip and port 10123. Use this tool to verify: http://canyouseeme.org
4. Most internet service providers now give out dynamic IP addresses to your router so next, you need to use a dynamic dns service so people outside can locate your router (and camera). I use http://freedns.afraid.org but there are many others that are free also (i.e. http://duckdns.org). Basically, I configure the router to report it's external IP address to the afraid.org any time it's IP address changes. Afraid.org associates an address like "mycam.dyndns.org" to my router's IP address.
5. Finally, make sure you can now view the camera using a browser from the outside (try a friend's house). For example, "http://mycam.dyndns.org:10123"
6. Great, now configure IP Cam Viewer to see your camera(s) once and your cameras will come up when the app is launched.
hope that helps...
More detailed instructions are available at: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/
ps. Some cameras come with a built-in "dynamic dns" hostname but that is often a cheap http redirect and NOT a true dynamic dns. You can tell my putting the url to access the camera into a browser and if it changes to a numeric IP address, then it just did a cheap http redirect. The app supports some proprietary camera http redirect services but it's best to use a real dynamic dns.
