Currently running BI full and paid for at my warehouse and business. Works great! Got a dozen cams on it and my employees have never worked harder - haha!

Problem is, mobile access, and I *HAVE* to get this working good on my mobile or I have to look at a different product. Oh, I can access it just fine across the internet on my Android. Problem is, resolution. Even when I select a specific camera the image is tiny on my Sammy. Tried other Androids from employees and same problem. Remote in with my laptop and it's fine.

I am not running a dedicated remote app. Just my Chrome browser. I see BI has a dedicated mobile app you can buy for $10, but reviews on it are sketchy. Also see some freeware versions made by enthusiasts. I just want to be able to view my cameras at a decent resolution on my mobile and don't need mgmt tools. What do I do? Thanks y'all.

The mobile app is excellent...has a 4.2 rating...some users are just stupid...also increase the web server bitrate.. always amazes me that folks pay all this money for cams but refuse to pay 10 bucks...

Oh, I have no problem paying $10. It's just with all the apps out there I wanted to get something that is verified 'works' and not pay a troll. I do get what you are saying though :-)

The official blueiris app is the one to use... There are no other apps out there that offer the same functionality...
