USE THE REMOTE ACCESS FEATURE

The remote access feature lets you access any file on your CANVIO HOME from any computer, tablet, or smartphone that has
an Internet connection. For tablets and smartphones, you download the CANVIO HOME mobile app to access files.

Also, if you choose to view (stream) a video remotely, playback quality is impacted by the upload speed limitations of the Internet
Service Provider (ISP) for the network to which your CANVIO HOME is connected. If remote video playback quality is poor, you
