![]() I finally got the security camera working but I am really disappointed. I was hoping to access it from my desktop computer in my office with the camera mounted outside on a deck by the main door. If heard the doorbell when in the office I was hoping I could quickly access the image on the computer to see who it was. Well, no can do. It's software (MyDLink) is no supported for Firefox. So, I figured I'd install it on the Windows 10 browser "Edge". After trying unsuccessfully to download the software I found out that it's not supported on Edge either. It's not a Firefox or Edge issue. It's MyDlink's software that no longer works in either browser. I got it running .... on my android cell phone but in the time it takes for the app to open and show an image I could invite whoever was at the door in and make him/her a cup of coffee. Waste of time. I am really ****ed because the packaging genius that designed the box the camera came in must be evil. It was like a safe. I ended up destroying the box to get it open so now I can't return the stupid camera. Oh well. It wasn't that much anyway ... $70 ... and it gave me something to do for a day and a half. I have a large window behind my chair in the office. I think I'll go to AutoZone and buy a trucker's mirror and mount it outside on the side of the house. All I'd have to do is turn around, look at the mirror and I'd see who was at the door. Simple. |
