    For recording where you may require the images used as evidence you would be looking at a dedicated CCTV system with DVR or NVR, Its a massive market.
    Have you a budget in mind?

    For just viewing with remote access any generic IP camera into your network via cable or WiFi would do. You could get something like this for €50-€70

    What IP camera do you have? Did it come with discovery software?

    Did it come with a disc that has discovery software on it?
    Does it tell you the IP address of the camera?
    You need to connect it via cable first then set up the WiFi.

    You might be able to get it that way.
    Connect it via cable to your router. Login to your router and goto DHCP client list & look for that mac address. It will then show you the IP address of your camera.

    When you log into you camera via a browser there should be a settings options to configure WiFi and enter your WiFi settings.
