Remote Viewing Setup Perth

Yes. The app connects to the recorder at your house through the internet, so the distance makes no difference. Holidays interstate or overseas work the same as being down the road, as long as you have data or wifi where you are.

The only thing that changes is the time difference, so an alert at three in the morning at home might arrive in the middle of your afternoon.

Watching uses your upload speed, since the video is going out of your house to your phone. Live viewing several cameras at once uses a lower quality stream to keep it smooth, and playing back a recording uses more.

Day to day recording does not touch your internet at all, because it is written to the hard drive at your house.

Enough for a household, and usually a good deal more than that. The practical limit is how many people you want watching at the same moment, since each live viewer uses some of your upload speed.

We set up everyone who is there on the day and leave you with what you need to add another phone yourself later.

Yes, and it is a common call. It does not matter who installed the system.

We connect the recorder to your network properly, get the app onto your phone, tune the alerts and show you how to use playback. There is no need to change any of the cameras to do it.

Because the detection area was never trimmed. Straight out of the box a camera reacts to movement anywhere in its view, including the road and the footpath.

Masking out everything past your boundary, and switching to detection that only reacts to people and vehicles, cuts the noise right down and leaves the alerts you wanted.

For a short clip, find it in playback, save it to your phone and send it like any other video.

For anything long, exporting straight from the recorder onto a USB stick is better, since it keeps the original quality and does not have to squeeze through your upload speed. We show you both methods on the day.

Install the same app and sign in with the details left with you, and the cameras come straight back. Nothing needs changing at the recorder and nobody needs to come out.

If the old handset has been sold or lost, change the password at the same time so the app sitting on it stops working. We show you where those details live before we leave, so a new phone is a small job rather than a phone call.

With a recorder based system, no. The footage sits on the hard drive at your house and the app connects to that directly, so there is nothing ongoing attached to looking at it.

Some cloud cameras work the other way around and keep your history on a paid plan, which is much better to know before you buy than after. If you already have cameras like that, we will go through what you would gain and what you would give up by moving to a recorder.
