On a roll here.  This is a variation on the classic "can connect on LAN but not outside the LAN".

 

Have setup  a dyndns account and wanted to test outside access to the network before configuring DDNS  on the router.

 

On entering the host name on my phone using cellular data (no wifi) I get to the Hikconnect login page and can login fine. All comes up fine except there's no images. I can configure stuff and change tabs but no actual camera images show up.

 

Connecting from within the network all is fine of course. Any ideas?

Ok I haven't managed to connect with a pc yet (need to ask a friend) but I remember that I tried connecting to the same system in France and got exactly the same problem. I have just tried and can confirm that entering the external IP of the French property gets me to the admin login which I can then do and I can select the different pages but get no camera images. Weird!

 

The difference with the French system though is that I can connect using the Hikconnect app on my mobile which I can't do for the UK system on data only

sim provider or ISP may certain block ports...

Sorry, I wasn’t clear at all in my first post: I was trying connect through an internet browser window on my phone and managed to login and surf through all the menus but couldn’t get any images to come up.
 

Using the Hik-Connect app on the phone all works fine.

 

Using the laptop (Mac) is fine on the LAN but if I connect through the phone using data, same problem-all the text comes through but no images.

So using the app on phone is not fine

Your simply saying using any external connection does not work correctly
