View doorbell camera from PC ??
Undervalued
Posts: 9,829 Forumite
I have a GeeRee video doorbell which uses an iOS / Android App called CloudEdge. It works pretty well although (like other makes I believe) occasionally notifications can be slow.
Is there any easy way of accessing its camera from a PC on the same network? Although it would be nice to be able to answer the door etc from the PC, that is not essential so just simply viewing the camera (and if possible listening to the microphone) would be fine.
Just to add, although I've not done it I know you can get PC software that will allow you to run an Android app. I am told this will work but it doesn't solve my problem as CloudEdge only allows one sign in at a time. So, if I want to change from my phone to the tablet I have to sign out on the phone first.
Ideally I just want to be able to view the camera from my PC without affecting its connection to the phone in any way.
Thanks.
