iOS remote monitoring for a Dahua DH-SD29204T-GN?

[jhumphries79]

How do I view my camera on iOS? Is there a sticky for Mac users or will this post (once again) be ignored? We're drowning in all this jargon, and just want to monitor this great camera with our iPhones on 4G. Please help.

We have it but it does not allow for us to view remotely. It is because we have no NVR? Is an NVR needed? We already have a PoE switch, so . . . (thank you for helping us)

An NVR is not necessary, but you will have to figure out how to get inside your network remotely to see it. Best is to setup a VPN server on your router at home and use the VPN client on your phone to connect to your home network.

I remember forum member Gleneroo from France recommending IMOU (Dahua) app. Here's the IOS version if you want to try it.

If you were using Blue Iris at home to record the camera, there's a great iOS app for BlueIris.

Dont think the app os the problem, sounds like he doesnt know how to configure it.

The easiest way to access your camera from IOS device locally and remotely is to:
1. Delete camera in IDMSS.
2. Add camera back in IDMSS by adding it with P2P method where you scan the camera QR code or enter the camera serial number.

Yes, we did not know and yes I was not versed on the inner workings of adding a P2P camera, which worked. As for Blue Iris, it seems to call for a dedicated computer to be currently running the desktop version in order for the iOS app to work. Correct? And thanks for helping my wife and I.
