Please search and download “Yale CCTV” App from iOS iPhone App Store or Google Play Store. Compatible with iOS 9+ and Android 4.4+ (iOS and Android version requirement may change in the future due to continous improvement and App development.) Minimum recommended resolution 600 x 900. For optimal performance, your Smartphone needs to have internet access (at least 3G+ with good signal strength). You may find that your connection works much faster when you are connected to a home WIFI network. The remote viewing feature requires our central server.

In the unlikely event of a server disconnection, the DVR will continue to function via local HDD recording. You can view your DVR remotely using the Yale CCTV App. Please download this App from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store. Search “Yale CCTV”. Please make sure you have a fast mobile internet connection (ideally 10Mbps +, and preferably Wi-Fi connection to ensure the App runs smoothly).
