Note

You need to make a note as follows:

  • Your Mac devices are required to be connected to public networks
  • Encrypted string randomly generated by user ID and Key is sent to the server for registration. Additional encrypted Password string is saved only between camera side on your Mac  and monitor side on your mobile devices. We do not save your ID and Key and Password, thus you should make a note of them and keep it in a safe place just in case OR you can set the auto login feature.
  • Simultaneously capturing both video and audio feed on your device may cause increased video frame and audio delays.
  • If you get UPnP Error message, make sure that UPnP is enabled in your router. If you are still having problems, you need to manually forward ports in your router by referring to http://portforward.com/guides.htm
