Re: being able to tap into the video stream(s) remotely say from a smartphone, does my PC have to be on? The modem next to my desk is always lit up and on regardless of whether or not the PC is on.

Can't I just connect the router/modem directly to the DVR with the PC off? I cannot leave my PC un-attended and turned on-no way. It is encrypted as it is in a big way so when I leave it's little more than a hunk of metal until I come back.

Also, I Googled "Ubiquiti Nanostation M2" and saw their site-but frankly can't tell if they offer wireless add-ons or whole camera systems that are wireless. Some more advice here would be much appreciated.
Thanks all.
