however, when we are away from the motorhome, we can't connect to the camera via the Nighthawk.
Dont think I understand how to connect all three together, so that we can use our smart phones to connect to the Nighthawk to use the camera? can anybody help?
To allow you to access the security camera while you are away from your motorhome, your camera needs to have cloud sevice.
I shell look into that, Thank you.
One thing though, why would I need cloud service, when all I want to do is look direct from camera? cloud to do that? I want direct use in real time, not storage, Sorry I dont get it?.

To access your camera from outside, you need a fixed IP to M1. But most of carriers don't support this. You need to have special plan with VPN support from your carrier in order to have the fixed IP service. Or you can't remote access your network behind M1 since there will be security risk if no VPN enabled.
Thanks
