Remote login from unrecognized external ip address

[5string]

Log says admin remote login from ip 10.119.149.174 with admin logout a minute later. password had been changed on initial setup. Should I be concerned?

10.119.149.174 is an unroutable (private) address. does your ISP router provide a 'public' wireless interface (like the default for comcast boxes to provide xfinity wifi)?
perhaps one of your access devices was connected to that instead of your internal wireless network when you accessed the NVR...

could it be my android phone through mobile provider?

Could be that your mobile provider doesn't show its IP in this case, but not sure. I know my provider (Verizon) displays a correct external IP when I use my mobile to connect. I get attempted connections to my BI server all the time from outside addresses from China, Netherlands, even Chicago that are not mine. If you are worried about it though, just close off the ports in your router to your DVR and run a VPN to gain access to it.

I setup my VPN in my ac87u router. Not sure how to proceed from there.

Did you set it for PPTP or OpenVPN?

now you configure your mobile devices to have a VPN Connection to your router when they are away-from home.. there are VPN Clients built into all smartphones, go look at security settings.

pptp I believe. Samba enabled.

I will check this out when I get back home. I see the settings menu, but need to sit in front of the router screen I think.

Just like @nayr said - enable your device to use the vpn settings you established in your router for when you are away from home. Once you have the VPN connection established, use your mobile device as if it were on the home wifi.
