Use DS cam on your iOS or Android phone. It is Synology’s free mobile app for remote live view and recorded footage from Surveillance Station whenever a network connection is available.
What the knowledge base says:
- DS cam lets you view recorded or live footage on mobile devices.
- You need DSM and Surveillance Station 7.0 or above installed on your Synology server.
- On Android, DS cam also supports monitoring, alert notifications, and real-time control.
If you’re trying to connect remotely and it works on LAN but not outside, one community suggestion was to check your blocked list for the remote IP, because repeated failed attempts may trigger the “3 Strikes” rule. Another user mentioned using QuickConnect for access.
