You can log into the DVR via a Microsoft Edge browser. The video on the screen however is not 4k. The system records two video streams, the first is the main stream and it is 4k. This stream is only viewable if you have a 4k monitor attached directly to the DVR and you are watching it locally. The second stream is a sub-stream and it is what is sent to your mobile devices and pc. The sub-stream has 3 options 960x480 or the default which is 704x480 or 352x240. I have not had much luck using anything but the default value on my iphone. The cameras included in this package are defaulted to 4k at 7 frames per second and you cannot vary that - in other words you cannot lower the resolution to say 1080 and increase the frame rate to 60fps - the software just wont let you do it. Lastly the cameras per their specs say they can do 4k at 15 fps but that is not configurable in the software - its locked at 7 fps max. Having said all this the Home App on a phone or tablet does work well at the 704x480 resolution and the 7 fps is choppy but acceptable. Because these cameras are Analog cameras and use BNC cables I am not sure if you can log directly into the camera like you could with a NVR system that uses ethernet cables and digital cameras. Hope this helps.
