2.2 Monitor images on a mobile terminal
It is possible to connect to the camera using a mobile terminal via the Internet and monitor images (MJPEG or JPEG) from the camera on the screen of the mobile terminal. It is also possible to refresh images to display the latest image.
The compatible mobile terminals are shown as follows. (As of July, 2014)
