Using the Luxriot EVO Mobile App :

All versions of EVO support the use of the mobile App available in IOS (iPhone & iPad) and Android versions, some understanding of internet port forwarding is required to set up your system for remote viewing.

We have a free simple generic guide available for download which covers connecting CCTV systems for remote viewing over broadband. EVO servers come complete with a built in video broadcast server, Broadcast Server allows connection via browsers such as Chrome as well as the mobile Apps.

EVO Servers have a single external port for remote connection and delivery of video, Global systems require an individual ideally unique port number allocated per recording server, this allows easy port forwarding and mapping for multiple servers on a single site, for example 8080 >Global Server, 8091 > Record Server 1, 8092 Record Server 2. Help and advice on remote connectivity is available from Videcom, we are also able to offer remote support packages to help set up the remote access for you.

IP Ports

Your network adaptor(s) in your EVO server have an IP address, this address is unique on your network and identifies the address on your server so others can find you. Ports are like rooms in your computer where programs and applications can be reached, there are standard defined ports such as 80 and 443 for internet browsing. EVO has default ports for the streaming server of 8080.

A simple test

Using your preferred browser (Chrome recommended) on your server navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8080, where 1270.0.1 is your localhost IP address and 8080 is the port for your streaming server. You should be presented with a login screen and using your admin credentials you should be able to log into the web interface client and select your cameras (see manual).

Basic Port Forwarding

In order to connect to your EVO Server you need to know where your server is in the world (WAN IP), your Server IP address that connected to your internet router and your port number (8080 default). If your internet connection uses a dynamic IP address (not fixed) you should be able to set-up an IP tracking service, for example No-IP or DYN-DNS. This service will track your WAN IP against a chosen URL.

Bringing it all together

You will need admin access to your internet router, most common routers support port forwarding (please refer your router manual) this enables traffic arriving at you router externally to be forwarded to an internal IP device (your server). In our example our servers IP is 192.168.0.100 and port 8080 (default). Our WAN is managed by a DNS service and we track our WAN IP with our chosen URL "evoserver.here.com". If we now place our client computer (or mobile App) outside of our networkour server IP address will be evoserver.here.com:8080 [our.chosen.dns:port]. If you have a fixed WAN IP then you can just use this.

Final Port Forward Steps and Testing

In our simple single server example. On your router set-up port forwarding, so incoming traffic for port 8080 is forwarded to 192.168.0.100:8080 [serverIP:port]

We recommend you now test everything is working using a browser before proceeding with the mobile App installation. Browse to your server using your external credentials (evoserver.here.com:8080).

You should again get the browser login, now go to your chosen App or Play store and download the Luxriot EVO App.
