Hi all, Just purchase my first video surveillance systems....Swann DVR8-1400 and after setting it up and looking at trying to configure this to monitor thru my smartphone and watching all of the videos on the swann hompage about setting this up, I've noticed the mobile devices menu doesn't show up on my DVR? It says I have that option on the box when I purchase this from Fry's which is why I purchased this. Frustrated and this is driving me crazy. I'm not that computer literate and I've read the manual. Thx in advance. This the Advanced series model.

Do you know how to go around this......port forwarding????? Any place where to learn the basics of this.....Total newbie. The thought of doing anything to the router has thoughts of shutting down my whole computer running thru my mind.

Hello all, total newbie here looking to have a security system Swann which I already bought to be able to monitored thru my smartphone/internet. My Swann DVR doesn't have a mobile device icon on it's menu screen so upon further reading, I read somewhere that I have to enable UPnP on my router? I read on the att website that I can't do that? True? Am I stuck with a $600 paper weight? Any help....greatly appreciated.
