Hi
I have 4 CCTV cameras at home which I can view on my PC monitor.
I would like to be able to view the images on my ipad whist I am away from home.
I have tried some Apps from the App store without success, probably because I am not sure what to do to set it up.
Can any body advise?
Thanks
John

You probably need to find an app made for your CCTV system where you can input login details for for the system You might find details in the user manual which should have come with the system or available on line from makers/seller website. I have a system with one camera, the user manual described how to connect all up, and the iPhone app was installed from the AppleStore.

On our system the app is specific to the camera. To set up there is a switch on the camera labelled camera / set up. I downloaded the app, powered up the camera and put the switch to set up. I then went to the settings menu on the pad and selected the camera from the drop down list of available wifi connections. This linked the pad to the camera for set up. I then fired up the app and followed the instructions to configure the camera and create an account. At the end of the procedure the switch on the camera is moved back to camera and you are ready to go. The camera can then be viewed on the app, or a web site, wherever you have an internet connection, by logging on to your account. Once one camera is set up others can be added to the account in a similar manner.
I do not know but would think most systems would be similar and need a dedicated app.
