With the seeming ubiquity of smartphones and tablets, we’re used to having access to information right at our fingertips. It’s no surprise then that the latest generation of CCTV equipment has been built with this in mind. Network enabled recorders and IP cameras allow you to easily log in to view your security footage and recordings remotely over the internet, allowing you to keep an eye on your loved ones, property or stock from wherever you are in the world (with wifi or mobile reception, naturally). Naturally, all of our multi-channel CCTV recorders now feature this remote access. Depending on the model this allows to to view and control cameras over the internet, as well as on mobile devices including iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Windows Phone handsets. But just how easy is it to get these features up and running?
