HelloNot without port redirections & static WAN IP addresses on your router, or use of dynamic DNS.There are apps for iPhone but I'm not sure about other phones.I really wouldn't recommend this camera anyway, the light/dark auto-gain issue gives too many false alarms - even when viewing & the sun comes out, the picture flashes rapidly.Cheap product cheaply made. Avoid if possible.Cheers,Ashley

Hi, yes but you will need to open port in your router or set up DMZ. Camera comes with per-configured DDNS, which works great on pc, phone or tablet.

Hello. Yes, absolutely. It will work with any cell phone with an exception of BlackBerry. Remember these are outdoor cameras, so you are able to control them and watch them on the computer as well

Yes, this camera will still record under no network. You just won't be able to view anything on your cellphone.

Yes, you can absolutely have the cameras be just on your local network (wifi or wired). There's are actually fewer steps required to do this this way.

From what I understand,all data is recorded to the camera's internal chip. I believe nothing goes to the internet,unless you request that it does. I use a l6 GB micro chip and that covers a great amount of time.I use it for protection when on trips. All detected motion goes to your designated email account to view a snapshot of livetime of what triggered the recording.

Yes it is.... As long you have a smart phone such as an iPhone or a connection to the Internet then you can watch your camera anywhere in the world.... That is assuming that the DVR and related equipment will be at the same location as the camera.....

If you were to monitor other electronic devices you could tell if the power was out. Not sure how you would monitor your internet connection unless you had your router in the camera surveillance area.

Yes. My router is in another part of the house. BUT you can not view the cameras on your phone or tablet unless they are on the same router with your DVR. So you can't be at the mall and view the cameras. At least, I haven't found away to do that yet.

There are directions included to monitor via mobile devices. yes, you will need an internet connection and yes, it is in real time.

It's not limited -- you'll access the camera remotely through the internet and your wireless network, so you could watch your baby sleep in Wisconsin from a computer or phone in Indonesia, if you wanted to.

Unless you can run a DVR through a computer, they don't use DVR. they use IP addressed and VPN. You can watch from your phone or computer. I can monitor from my office everyday.

You need internet service with a wireless router to connect the camera in order to view it on your computer or smartphone. It's a very simple setup and once connected you can view the camera where ever you are. You can make the camera private (as I do) or public so anyone can see what you are monitoring.

Hi, Thank you for your interest to our product. Yes, as long as the set up is done correctly and your remote device have internet access, you will be able to see the image from your phone not being in the house. Best Regards, Irene Customer Service

Yes, but if you plan to spend any time on the net, spend the extra $ buy a smart phone. In an emergency, you can check email, Fb & the like, but it is more trouble than it's worth. As a phone with a decent little camera at a cheap price, it's worth it.

I don't know why people are saying you can't because you absolutely can view this video/audio feed when away from home. All you have to do is download the app, plug in some settings, and you're good to go.

I think you can. When we are at home we can check the cameras on our tablets and cell phones over our home network. Still can't get it to work at outside business.

You need a computer and WiFi connection so you can monitor remotely. You can also monitor remotely through your Android device with WiFI connection.
