How to access Argus 2 remotely

I recently bought an Argus 2, which works great on the LAN. However, I need help with how to access it remotely. My other IP cameras I access by opening an OpenVPN connection to my home network. However, that does not seem to work with the Argus 2. Surely, there is a way? I am using the Reolink app on my Android smartphone.

If I disconnect WIFI, the app says "Play over cellular data". However, the connection fails. Is it trying to connect through the cloud somehow, and are there any firewall rules I need to set up?

Another small but strange issue is that the battery level does not seem to update. It was at 73% when I first set it up. I charged it and it still said 73%. After a few days of usage it still says 73%.

Thanks much!

Never mind. Allowing all outbound traffic from the camera in the firewall fixed the problem. It's accessible from the cloud somehow.

It's glad to hear that you have solved the problem now! What about the battery issue? Do you keep your camera charged all the time via power adapter? Usually, it won't happen like this. Power juice will reduce as time passes by.
