  1. I bought one of these just the other day and I certainly agree that the setup instructions are pretty awful. However the fact is that after a fair amount of struggling I now have a remarkably good camera for the money. It looks very well made - seems to be aluminium alloy not plastic or steel with a thick anodised coating for good weather-proofing. I didn't fancy following the recommended route for remote (internet) viewing as this seemed to involve a lot of trusting to distant websites. I port-forwarded ports 80 and 554 for the camera using TCP protocol and then used the android app Onvifer to connect. This seems to be a brilliant app which after a couple of false starts (with excellent error reports to help you sort things out) I was able to view real-time video. Only snag is that you need to know your external IP address - easy enough to find out but a pain if (like mine) it changes periodically. Bottom line: be patient and persevere - there's plenty of good advice out there.
