Firstly, congrats on getting remote view of your house CCTV from your phone.
As mentioned by @alucard89, any DDNS service will do, as long as it works.
For me, wired connection is a safe bet for CCTV, because I can't afford to have lost connection or lost frames.
I will be giving my wireman to wired my house with LAN cable for CCTV, once I start my renovation.
If is just for CCTV with POE, normal Cat5 LAN able is sufficient.
No harm using Cat5e, just that the Cat5e cable might be more expensive than Cat5 cable.
Your NVR specification is here:

http://www.hikvision.com/en/Products_acces..._433_i5420.htmlI don't see 3MP and I don't see H.265 in the specification, therefore not advisable to get a 3MP or H.265 camera.
Correct me if mistake found.
Yup agreed that wired connection is the safest bet.
Are there different grades of Cat5 cables?

Well there is the waterproof connector that's included the camera for poe cables.
Using cat6 cables I got from taobao, definitely cheaper to buy longer cables there.
Better to get nvr that properly supports >4mp and above resolution like these ones
DS-7808N-K2

DS-2CD2145F-IS
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a312a...._u=h2avq0doc74bFrom what I've read in ipcamtalk, someone suggested that i need to change the video profile, and voila nvr detects 720p/1080p.
https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/low-resolutio...cd3345-i.12291/However, I was unable to view substream in SD, both main/substream was in full hd.
So unless you have powerful connection like time 100mbps upload speed, you won't be able to view the stream smoothly unless you set the bitrate lower.
Now there's been other feedback that said upgrading firmware fixes that, but I won't be doing since mine is multilanguage that would revert back to chinese fimrware once upgraded

Can share what type of Cat6 cables are you using?
Danggg... Means I have to update my DS 7108SN too if i want to use a 3MP and more camera, H265 doesn't seem to be supported as well. Tempted to get one of those. Maybe I have to garage sale my NVR to get a upgraded one.
