The type of surveillance camera that allows for remote viewing on a mobile device is known as an IP camera. IP cameras are equipped with network connectivity, which enables them to transmit video footage over the internet. Users can access the camera's live feed and recordings from anywhere using a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet, as long as they have an internet connection. Additionally, many IP cameras offer features such as motion detection, two-way audio, and remote pan-tilt-zoom control for enhanced surveillance capabilities.
