How to control your Camius device settings remotely

Once you have added the NVR to the VMS pro software, you can access it remotely from anywhere. Just make sure to add it using the P2P ID and not the local IP address, as shown in the following screenshots. Basically, you are accessing the NVR’s remote settings from the VMS software without a browser.
Once you are in Remote Setting, you can manage the NVR and control its settings.
