Viewing IP Cameras
We have decided to alow users to link to a well proven app for the IP viewing function, namely  IP Viewer Basic (free) and IP Viewer Pro (paid) by Robert Chou. This was awarded best software in 2011 in the Utilties category and supports more than 800 brands.models of IP and network cameras.  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rcreations.ipcamviewerBasic#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLnJjcmVhdGlvbnMuaXBjYW12aWV3ZXJCYXNpYyJd
The paid Pro version has more features including listening and recording
In the setup/Configuration page, you can select from
  1. URL (does not work for most cameras)
  2. Pro
  3. Basic
If you select Pro or Basic and then go to the cameras page and if the app is not installed, you will be taken to GooglePlay to download or buy the app.
You will have to set up the IP addresses for the cameras in the IP Viewer app

When you go to  the cameras page, the Comfort app is logged out, and when you go back you will have to log in again
The next version will allow you to re-enter the Comfort app without logging back in.
