# CCTV Not Showing on Your Phone? We Can Fix That

System recording fine on-site but won't connect on the app away from home or the office? This is almost always a network or configuration issue, not the cameras.

## Almost Always a Network Issue, Not the Cameras

When footage works fine on-site but the app shows nothing away from the property, the cause is nearly always in the internet connection, router configuration, or the DVR/NVR's cloud/P2P service — not the cameras themselves.

Likely Causes

## Why Remote Viewing Fails

The most common causes when on-site footage is fine but remote viewing isn't.

### Internet Connection Down

The site's internet connection is offline or unstable.

### Router/Port Configuration

Port-forwarding or router settings blocking the connection.

### Cloud/P2P Service Issue

The recorder's cloud service ID not connecting correctly.

### App/Account Issues

App login, device-ID, or account configuration problems.

### ISP-Side Restrictions

Some internet providers restrict the ports this needs.

### Recorder Configuration

Network settings on the DVR/NVR itself set incorrectly.

FAQ

## Common Questions

Can this be fixed without a technician visiting?

Some configuration issues can be diagnosed and fixed remotely; others need a site visit, particularly router or ISP-side issues.

Will this work on any internet connection?

In most cases yes, but some ISPs restrict certain ports — we check this as part of the diagnosis.

Can you set this up correctly if I never had remote viewing working?

Yes — this is also something we set up correctly during new installations.

Is my system installed by another company still fixable?

In most cases yes — we assess the recorder and network configuration first.

## Still Need This Sorted?

Send us the details and we'll diagnose it properly -- remotely where we can, with a site visit where we can't.
