Software Recommendation for monitoring: PC & iPhone

[jimsar1]

New to all this and to this forum, so please bear with me.

A few months ago I bought an OEM Dahua NVR (Model NVR4208-8P equivalent) and it has been running fine with the 3 Dahua PoE cameras I have thus far. It is for home security, and my question has got to do with software to monitor / manage the system.

When I'm at home I can of course access the NVR directly through a small TV / monitor that I connected to the NVR. However, when I'm in a different room working, I'd like to be able to watch the video from my PC running Windows 10. And when I'm away, an iOS app will also be helpful. Currently, when I'm on my PC, I just go to the NVR's IP address, log in to the device, and watch the video feed. Very limited as to what else I can do. On the iPhone, EasyViewer used to work OK, but when they upgraded to a newer version and the iPhone to iOS 10, it stopped working. Instead of wasting more time on making EasyViewer work, is there a better solution out there for both desktop and iPhone? Free is best, but won't mind paying a modest fee for a stable product.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

Jim

Yup Smart PSS for the PC and idmss for the iphone.

I think you will like Smart PSS much better than the web interface. The few times we used the web interface it ran extremely slow, and maxed out the PC's resources. Same PC with PSS ran like a champ
