The unit says there is remote viewing. Others say it does not work on Smart Phones. I thought there was an app to view remotely, can anyone confirm?

I have never tried remote viewing with this item because the instructions are not only written in such tiny fonts that you nearly need a microscope to read them, but they are also written poorly and are incomplete. They are so confusing that even a non-computer novice cannot figure out how to get this thing to connect to my home network. Maybe if I were a networking expert or something. I finally had to give up on it.

There is a Zmodo app to view remotely on your iPhone on your home wifi LAN. Port forwarding on your router is required to view on the Internet.

Sorry bob I have not set it up to view remotely. There is an eathernet plug on back of viewing base. I believe you have to have it plugged in to view remotely

Sort of. You can use the remote to scroll through images but it is small. I think there is one on the back of the unit as well. I would disagree with the other answer about this being junk. It will require a firmware upgrade if you purchase it.

No it doesn't, but you can download an app on your phone that acts as a remote

Hi, I searched for that option too but apparently the remote doesn't come with it, what I use now is the Android app "Google TV remote" which works pretty much the same as the physical remote control but this one has more features and there is one call "recall" which allows the function that you are looking for, this app is free and is better than the original remote control (if you have an android phone it will be very useful) Regards

No, you cannot monitor on a phone. In fact, I was UNHAPPY with the system. I could only get it to work by watching the screen in real time. It does not have a recording feature. You need a PC (not Mac) that is on continuously to record - and you need the prioriatory software (which I could not get to work) to record to the PC. If you have a spare PC you don't mind leaving on, this is for you. Otherwise, consider the much more expensive (for the service) DropCam - which uses cloud recording and you CAN get ALERTS on phone and WATCH on phone and TALK to people you are watching!!! DropCam

Yes, if you have a Samsung Galaxy phone it is plug in and hit the screen mirroring icon at the top pull down menu on the phone. If not you probably have to download mirracast or some other software. It only works on a smart tv. It didn't work on my flat screens that were not considered a "smart tv". It may work but I'm not that technical to figure it out. However, on my Sony Vizio, it was plug and play. I hope this helps.

It requires the app on the phone.. the device doesn't tell you anything unfortunately.

I'm not completely sure but the web site only mentioned viewing from a smart phone. Thats how I use it, and it works like a charm

Amy, That's not one of the "things" you can monitor and keep track of. I had a quick search but I'm not seeing any devices that will do this. Doesn't mean one does not exist, just I could not find it. Nigel.

so far I have only used the zmodo phone app, which works well. there are 2 apps, one for when you are on your home network. one for when you are not. my understanding is there is a way to "port forward" so you can view your cameras on any computer but my attempts to do that so far have failed. They weren't much of an attempt though. Ill probably try again later. There are some youtube videos of how to do it.

Sorry I have mine setup to a monitor. I have not tried to setup a smart phone or a laptop yet. I am sure the time will come when I do. I can watch it on my computer through the LaView setup and a router.it lets me keep an eye on what is going on outside and look for freaky stuff like bears and other wild things in my yard. I took mine to a comp tec lol I do not like to read directions. sorry I can't be more help.

There is no remote control other than your cell phone connected to camera by wifi. It works pretty poorly in my opinion. It will let you zoom, and the zoom speed can be preset on the camera

The instructions said you could get an android app to operate it. I never could find the app so I never could use the device.

Depends on the type of dvr you have u can view on smart phone. Connect to dvr

You can watch the camera on wifi- and I believe you can set up motion detection recording if you like. Actually viewing the cameras works much more efficiently on android or iOS platforms. I have both. They do make a decice that allows you to record up to 4 cameras onto an external hard drive. I don't have that one. The cameras work well for viewing, and the pan tilt works well also.

Yes, it has connections for a monitor for viewing.The Smart phone system is just for remote viewing.
