Thanks for the in-depth explanation. I'm going through the same struggle. I have an older DVR and have had access with no problems until switching to HN. Initially I was quite upset that I had just signed up for a 2 year agreement and didn't know that remote access wasn't an option. After reading your post, I have a much better understanding why I cannot remote access my security cameras that HN tech suppport staff either wouldn't or (most likely) couldn't explain to me.
It sucks to read this, but at the same time, I have a solid and logical answer. Instead of "Sorry, we can't help you."
Nothing worse than getting trapped in a contract for a service that isn't going to do what you thought all services did. It never crossed my mind that there was a possibility I wouldn't be able to access my DVR.
Gentlemen, I have a remote cabin off the grid in the Arizona mountains. I have 4 ARLO cameras installed and one Simple Home camera installed to monitor my cabin and property. All cameras were easy to install and I can monitor them on my smart phone using Hughes Net Gen 5 operating on a large solar system. The ARLO cameras are wireless and talk to a ARLO control box plugged into the Hughes modem/wifi box. No other dvrs etc are needed. The ARLO cameras are sold by Amazon, Costco and many others. The system works great and records motion. The only issue is the elk tripping the cameras in the fall.
