The other option using IP is to setup OpenVPN on your router if possible and the client on your phone. Then your "Home/local profile will be same as sitting in your lounge chair at home.
So that is a really great solution!
But with the local connection/IP added NVR, is there a way to view the alarm list? It's frustrating that they hold back some features in the app for those who get an account with them. I can delete the cameras and add them in the order I want them to be viewed in the app. My wife will just be stuck with my preferences.
ETA - Well, that's going to take some more research on my part. I got part way through the configuration, but I don't know how to get my phone to connect to the NVR through the VPN. My router said it was working and connected, I just couldn't get through to the NVR from the outside. Maybe tomorrow it will be clearer.
