The router will route (cause that's what they do) from the LAN side to the WAN.

Most home routers have a firewall that will block that. You'll need to set up port forwarding on your router to allow the DVR's network interface to be seen on the internet.
Get the ports that your DVR uses, and then use your router's advanced setup to allow the DVR out. There's probably a video on your DVR manufacturer's web site.
