See your property when you are away
Remote viewing connects a compatible CCTV recorder or camera system to an app or supported client. It lets you check live views and search recordings without being at the premises.
It is useful for homeowners away from home and business owners who need visibility across a site. Available functions depend on the equipment and app.
Your connection matters
Internet access at the property is needed to view the system from elsewhere. Upload speed, signal reliability and the number of streams affect the experience. Local recording can continue on a suitable recorder if the internet connection drops.
Set up access carefully
We configure the supported access method, use individual accounts where available and explain permissions. Strong unique passwords, software updates and two-step verification where supported help protect the system.
We avoid treating public exposure of a recorder’s administration ports as a routine shortcut. Access should be designed around the manufacturer’s supported security features.
A handover you can use
We demonstrate live viewing, playback, selecting cameras and exporting a clip where supported. Notifications are discussed around what is useful, avoiding unnecessary alerts.
Existing system or new installation?
Tell us the camera or recorder model and the problem you want to solve. Compatibility, connectivity and any app subscriptions are checked before recommending a setup or upgrade.
Questions about this service
Can I view my cameras from my phone?
Yes. A compatible recorder and an internet connection can provide remote viewing through a phone or tablet app. We configure access securely and show you how to use live view and playback.
Can CCTV work without Wi-Fi?
Yes. Wired PoE cameras carry power and video over network cable. They can record to a local NVR without Wi-Fi or internet. An internet connection is needed for remote viewing away from the property.
Is remote viewing a monitoring service?
No. Being able to view cameras remotely does not mean somebody is watching them continuously. Any professional monitoring service would need to be specified and agreed separately.
