DW Mobile can be downloaded to your mobile device through either the Google Play Store (Android) of the App Store (iOS).

**NOTE:  If you are using either Public IP Address (WAN) or a DDNS Address to connect with your system from within your Local Area Network (LAN), be sure to disable your device’s Wi-Fi setting to allow the device to connect through an external network (mobile data).  You may leave the Wi-Fi setting enabled if you are connecting from a network that is external to the LAN that is hosting your system.

DW Mobile will test the network connection with the provided site information.  If the test fails, make sure that the DVR or NVR has network access and that the site information has been entered correctly.
