Remote Access from a Mobile Device
Preparing your Mobile Device
Mobile technology is becoming increasingly advanced, and the rate of change is
increasing. We’re constantly updating software to keep up with the evolution of
handsets and other devices available, and developing new apps (or “applications”,
for those who still prefer whole words) for other operating systems and
hardware.
Thus, we can’t tell you exactly how to prepare your mobile device here. Firstly,
there isn’t enough space on this page to cover all compatible mobile devices. More
importantly, any information we print will probably be out of date by the time you
read it!

for guides to set up common mobile devices for use with the DVR4-1200.
Supported Mobile Platforms
At the time of writing, the DVR4-1200 supports a mobile device (such
as a cellphone, tablet, PDA or similar) on a 3G network running:
•
Microsoft Windows Mobile
®
(version 6.x)
•
Android (version 2.1 or higher)
•
Symbian
(S60, 3rd or 5th edition)
•
iPhone OS
•
BlackBerry OS (version 5, not all handsets supported)
Some devices may require access to a local area network with Internet access to
function correctly, whilst others are able to use mobile Internet (such as HSDPA or
similar protocol). It depends on the hardware in your specific device, and there are
too many devices out there these days to offer any kind of comprehensive list.
Disclaimer: We can’t guarantee that your mobile device will be compatible
with this DVR
, even if it has one of the operating systems listed above. Your
specific model of phone, tablet or other device, the hardware it contains (and
the revision thereof), your service provider, the types of data services they offer
and your specific phone/device plan will all affect the performance of your mobile
device for remote access of the DVR.
