You can access your DVR from your Apple or Android smartphone or tablet. Search for Q-See in the iTunes Store or Android market to download this free mobile app. The same application will operate on both phone or tablet. Be certain to select the QS Series version to ensure compatibility with your system.
NOTE! Before you can use mobile access you need to setup the network configuration on the DVR and forward ports 80, 100, and 9000 from the router the DVR is attached to, to the IP address of the DVR as described in
Chapter 1of the Remote Monitoring Guide.
NOTE: The bandwidth usage of monitoring your DVR remotely is roughly equivalent to streaming a movie for the same duration.
USING QS VIEW
QS View software operates identically on both Android and Apple iOS phones and tablets. The instructions below cover both platforms.

Clicking on the + or Add button opens another window allowing you to enter the DVRs IP address and other essential information, such as the user name and
password. These are the same as you use to log into the DVR.
It is recommended that you create two “Devices” for each DVR. One should use the local IP address for when you are accessing the same network that the DVR is connected to, while the other will use the WAN IP for when you are connecting over the Internet.
Once you’ve added your DVR to the list, you can tap on it to connect to it.
While in Live View, you may switch between Devices by tapping the Select button in the upper right corner. This will cause a list of your available DVRs to pop up allowing you to choose which system to access.
