as the title reads,Can anyone recommend a free easy to use to use app for android and iphone for my xmeye cctv as the xmeye one is proving impossible to install. please don't tell me that I should have invested thousands as the cameras and dvd work quite adequately for what I want them for.

Yes I use it with a selection of Lilin and Axis cameras and it is very straightforward. It has hundreds of camera profiles, although I can't find xmeye, I'm sure it would work

thanks for all the replies, I have eventually got my xmeye app up and running, or rather an individual of the younger generation has for me.

So for the computer illiterate ?
Buy an ip camera - link up to your internet - play -record to your phone anywhere you get mobile network is it ?
Where and what is best one to buy ?
 
All my IP cams record to my Synology NAS box. It's running Surveillance Station 8.0 which is a free app. The box allows 2 free camera licenses but you can buy more licenses for about £12 each from memory.

The total number of cameras you can simultaneously record is limited by the size/hardware of the Synology box, but there is a size available for practically every budget from 8 cameras right up to 1000 cameras on the one box. It also works with a huge variety of IP cameras from virtually every camera vendor.

I can remotely view the cameras in realtime and all recordings from my phone using the DS Cam app or for more sophisticated stuff just use a laptop.

All this will work remotely even when the farm is connected over a 4G internet connection, as Synology implements its own (seemless and free) VPN connection technology. So you can connect back to the farm from anywhere in the world.
