security camera app ?

[nick96ss]

just wondering if there is an app out there to view my home security camera's from my phone . someone was telling me that internet explorer was the only way (windows based phones), thought that didn't seem right . thanks

I'm not aware of any apps for Android yet, only the iPhone, Symbian, and WinMo.

Any of the DVRs I've seen use ActiveX to display the cameras via a browser. This is where he's telling you that you need Internet Explorer.

Hopefully the programmers across the pond will start writing Android apps. It's a great selling point that a customer can check their cameras from their phones, but as Symbian is non existent here, WinMo is pretty sparse, we've only been able to sell that as a feature to iPhone users.

Try IP CAM VIEWER. It has a large array of covered cameras, and I'm ssure that you won't need Internet Explorer on the DX.

One afterthought regarding IE. On some cameras, such as the Trendnet IP-422W that I use, you do need the IE browser to view the camera on your PC, and to do the Setup on it, but not for the viewer on your Android.
