You can monitor the cameras via the internet using a windows based computer running internet explorer although you will need to adjust the ActiveX settings and using mobile devices with iOS or Android using the company’s zviewer app. For Blackberry it is recommended you use iseeder, for windows or sysmbian devices it should work using Naway, ASee, or QQeye. Others have noted that it is compatible with Androids IP Cam app and iPhone's vMEye app.

Now depending on the type of router you have, remote viewing on the Zmodo PKD-DK4216 can be as easy as Plug & Play to a few hours on the phone with tech support. But for a basic router and internet connection, configuring the remote viewing on the any of these apps is for the most part no hassle at all.

A little easier configuration goes a long way and with the Zviewer for PC you have additional functionality for controlling your system remotely and is much the same as what you can do locally – you can set up users, manage devices, browse video, set up a recording schedule and playback video. Using the Zviewer app after you have it setup, will probably be the best choice because of all the features you are able to use in the app.
