It’s 9:30 p.m., and a regional security manager at a national bank gets a notification about suspicious activity at an ATM in another city. He opens his smartphone to check the feed — but the camera is connected to a different NVR than the one he’s currently logged into. By the time he switches systems, the live view is gone.
Situations like this play out daily — across banking networks, retail chains, factories, and logistics hubs — wherever multi-site surveillance depends on fragmented systems.
Each location has its own NVR, its own login, its own feed. And for professionals responsible for real-time security, that means wasted time and lost visibility right when it matters most.
That’s where a powerful multi-site video surveillance solution built for remote monitoring makes all the difference. The best systems make smartphone monitoring effortless — bringing every site, every feed, and every alert into one secure, unified dashboard.
If you’ve ever found yourself switching between NVRs, juggling logins, or waiting for feeds to load on your phone, you’re not imagining the friction. Your surveillance solution should eliminate that burden — not add to it.
Here’s how you can get the most out of your Matrix NVR Smartphone App, especially when managing multiple locations and cascaded NVRs for remote video monitoring.
Monitor Every Camera, React Faster — All from One App
Benefit: Unified visibility that drives real-time decisions for remote monitoring
Most smartphone surveillance apps limit you to one NVR at a time — meaning you can only view cameras connected to that unit. With Cascaded NVR Viewing on the Matrix NVR Mobile App, you can see every camera across all connected NVRs — in one seamless interface.
This single, unified view means you don’t waste time switching screens or logins — you can move instantly from awareness to action. When an event occurs, you’re already seeing it happen and can respond faster than ever.
Why it matters: In surveillance, seconds count. The ability to see everything and act immediately from your smartphone keeps you in command, no matter where you are.
Pro Tip: Create “priority groups” of high-importance cameras so you can focus on what matters most the moment you open the app.
Real-Time Awareness and Instant Response
Benefit: Mobility without compromise
Whether you’re on-site, traveling, or away from your desk, the Matrix NVR mobile app ensures remote monitoring across all locations.
However, awareness is only part of the story — you can now make direct calls from the app while viewing the relevant camera feed.
No app switching, no wasted seconds — just immediate communication with on-ground teams when something demands attention.
Why it matters: Security events don’t wait, and now, neither do you.
Real-time monitoring, combined with instant communication, ensures faster, coordinated action when it counts the most.
Pro Tip: Assign quick-dial contacts to high-priority cameras for one-tap calling during alerts.
Scale Without Increasing Complexity
Benefit: Growth made simple
As your organization expands — adding new branches, NVRs, or cameras — Cascaded NVR Viewing automatically integrates each newly added NVR into your mobile view.
You get seamless scalability for remote monitoring without additional configuration, training, or overhead.
Why it matters: Growth shouldn’t mean more systems to manage. Unified scalability keeps your operations efficient as you expand.
Pro Tip: Use consistent camera naming (e.g., Site-A-Entry, Site-B-Warehouse) to identify feeds instantly while monitoring remotely.
Securely Share Access When It’s Needed
Benefit: Controlled, temporary visibility
Need to share access with a contractor, auditor, or vendor?
With Temporary User Access, you can now grant limited-time visibility to specific cameras — securely and effortlessly.
Just select cameras, define the duration, and share a QR code.
The recipient scans, logs in, and views what’s needed — for only as long as you allow.
Why it matters: Temporary access while remote monitoring ensures collaboration without compromising security.
Your system stays protected, and access remains fully under your control.
Pro Tip: Use this feature for maintenance checks, audits, or temporary on-site work — access expires automatically when done.
