There are two ways to watch video feeds or recorded clips with Ignite Self Protect. The first is through the Ignite HomeConnect (Shaw) mobile app, and the second is from your Ignite Entertainment Box. To watch recorded video clips from your Ignite Self Protect cameras, you need to turn on 24/7 Video Recording.
