    Remote connection to NVR without static IP

    Take a look at this Sim Card DDNS RUT 240 it appears that it is possible as long as the sim card gets a public IP and not a private IP. Good luck.

    How to tell if MY internet is down?

    Thanks for the clarification, so you want to know if your router is reachable from a remote (not home) location. There are many things that can point to a miscommunication or lack thereof with a home router. But if you want to confirm your router is reachable from a remote location, then...

    Discuss which "inside" cameras provide good quality through windows (if any). "Good" quality meaning allows a good enough resolution to read signs, license plates etc.
