The whole story kinda: LOL
I am trying to access it via my Android app, either locally on wifi or eventually the 4G wan.
I have a higher end Asus RT-AC86. Ive turned port fwd on for the DVR port facing the WAN just because I eventually want to access it via my cell phone.
FROM UNREACHABLE SUBNET: I get "server unavailable" when I try to access it via a known unreachable subnet network during my tests. Because, of course, its not seeing the IP address.
FROM WIFI LOCAL LAN: I keep getting "buffering" from the local LAN so I had concluded that the network was good locally and must of been something else. Like its seeing the IP of the DVR but is failing to pull the data.
FROM 4G WAN: I get "Connecting.." then "Buffering" then "Not responding" and then back to connecting..
The port 80 web interface seems to work properly thruout the lan.
