    Viewing on iPhone has stopped.

    I can actually remember it as i wrote it down some time back, but i have no idea how to re-implement it, bearing in mind what you said previously, i don't yet know if that's wise to do. I appreciate you're not there to answer specifics but I don't even know what question to ask to get the...

    NVR - Do I keep my Hikvision, or go DAHUA?

    Thank you for that, i will take a look but it might be too heavy for me at my level. I appreciate the importance of VPN (i actually use one but not set up by me, "SurfShark") But now that the cameras are setup it looks very much like it did before with regard to the settings. Thanks though! I'll...

    I’m sorry about this but I’l it looks like I spoke too soon. I just tried to access my cameras from work on my iPhone and it won’t happen, looks like the IP address 192.168.x.x won’t work away from home. So now I need to find out what address to use when I am away. Any ideas? Please.

    Ok I have an update. After messing around in the app I found an auto search button which considering I had nothing to lose I hit and a number was generated. I hit add and the little light along side of the number went green. I hit live view and all worked again. I had to re install the app on my...
