Forgive me here as this is all a bit technical for me. But if youre looking to remote in to see the status - can you not just use team viewer or something similar? I remote into my laptop to check on the status from my phone - and have full control of the laptop from there (it's great for warming up the camera before getting out of bed!), and I can see the images rolling in.
If this isn't what you're looking for and I've completely missed the point, my apologies !
