so long as your web accessible camera interface (supposedly hosted by some sort of server/service?) and bears a public IP address, then one cannot see why you cannot access it from HK.

(*based on locally avail security camera, those cheep ones you know...*) I've seen 2 types:

1. major brands such as logitech, etc. you must register (and pay) to use their publically accessible web portal in order to view your camera views...

2. some cheepie brands would either run your views off of their own server site (still pays) or you have to run your own.

For point 2 --latter part: almost 90%+ of home internet users, your ISP would only issue you DHCP IP address on the public side. This means that this public-facing IP address may change during DHCP lease/renewal.... There used to be (back some time ago, I used to be somewhat active in this regards) a way to register your otherwise DHCP'ed public IP address with ddns (aka "dynamic DNS") so that you do not lose that connectivity when your lease is up and your DHCP'ed IP address changes...

I have not used this service (ddns) for years now...price might have gone up a bit (still good though).

Oh and of course: your great CCP grand-daddy has one of the world's biggest firewall on the universe, meaning that you may not be able to view your security camera while you are back in motherland...

(* this part you have to verify it yourself*)

Thanks Quest.

This is so complicated. Maybe Lifelxne is a better/expensive option...

Yes it is workable.  I accessed internet with a 3G phone in  HK so the image transmission was a bit sluggish but I would say it was acceptable consider its low cost and ease of setup.
