What I suspected was correct then Which is great.

To add to the list from @thetechguru - teamviewer is remote control software that I've used with great success in the past.

I second what Rich said - team viewer is the remote control desktop software I use and its free for personal use. When I used standard windows RDP I'd always have to open a port in my router to allow RDP traffic through and as mentioned before when I RDPed in it would end the previous session (when connecting from outside my home network). If my external IP addresses changed I was out of luck.

With Team Viewer, you download it and it runs in the background and as long you maintain an active internet connection you can log into your team view account from a web interface or from the app installed on another computer and remote into your computer. And it does not kick the current user off!

I use Team Viewer a lot for my own business, basically my clients have it installed and if I need to I can easily pop on to their system and do whatever needs doing, in real time, with them watching. Or I can watch what they are doing and advise them over the phone or web cam. To top it all, you can even brand the client side app with your own company logo etc.

It runs on iOS, Android, Windows, mac, linux...

Seriously I cannot recommend it enough.

With team viewer and the new v4 really no need to port ezb to android or ios...

i've been thinking of a windows 8 tablet (I have an android one now)

If I can view the ezb software on my android tablet PLUS I dont need to be close to the "master" pc, I think im going to buy 2ezbs instead of a new windows tablet.

this is awesome, since none of my projects are big enough to fit the acer w3

So I just want to make sure I am reading this correctly.... the controller can be mounted away from the computer the length of my wifi network or I assume I can give the board an ip address that will connect with my home router and connect remotely? So in other words I can use my work computer, remote in to the ezb4 directly through my wifi? And see video? Do I need to set up a vpn to get into my router from a remote location? Thanks again Chris

I'm sure I read that the EZ-B V4 Camera doesn't actually display the video (not sure where I read it, it was while skimming over topics).

But the rest is correct, if the EZ-B V4 is assigned an IP address and in range of the router, for instance it's given the IP address of 192.168.0.150 provided the router port forwards traffic on the required port (unsure of the port number at this stage) then you should, in theory be able to connect any ARC connected to the internet to the EZ-B.

A VPN shouldn't be required, I'd assume in the connection dialogue rather than the local IP of 192.168.0.150 (or whatever it is assigned) you would put in your real IP address (or url if you use a DNS service).

If the EZ-Robot team don't provide a tutorial for this I'm sure I will once I have a V4 to play with. However some steps will be router specific so it always helps to either have decent instructions for your router or know what to look for and set up in the router.

For instance, my router (DD-WRT firmware) my forwards currently look like this (I have a lot of forwards)

The from port is the remotely requested port number (i.e. 87.192.98.10:8082) The IP address is the local IP of the PC or device (i.e. 192.168.0.150) The to port (not always an option) is the local port. (i.e. 80) The above examples are for the heatmiserweb forwarding. Note my remote IP address above is not my real one so don't even think about playing around with my heating
