Hello,
I used to be able to view my cameras when I was away or near the location but just recently it keeps showing connection failed on the IVMS-4500 app when I am away from the location. But it still works fine when I am at the location. Is there anything you think i can do to my settings to get it back to how it was before?
 
Log out of the hikconnect account
Then log back in
If you had the old hikvision account you will need to register a new account with Hik-Connect you can still use your email and password
 
I never had a hikconnect account I always viewed them without being logged in. But I just created one and it still didn’t work.
 
Could it be that when you originally set it up, you had a particular public IP address that you set up the app to use via port forwarding at the router, and along the way your ISP changed your public IP, necessitating changes in the app? I used to use that app but now use Blue Iris, so I can't go in and see exactly what setting / where to change it if this is the case, but maybe this idea is helpful to you in troubleshooting.
This scenario would be consistent with the fact that when you are on your LAN, you can connect (since the connection is direct), but when you are outside your LAN, there's no connection, ostensibly due to the app sending requests to the now outdated IP address.
