Mobile viewing without using D-Link cloud?
(1/1)
cmontyburns:
Given that the camera's onboard webpage viewer requires either Java, ActiveX, or a mysterious H.264 plugin, it appears that there is no way to view the video from the camera on a mobile device without hooking it up to the D-Link cloud service. Is this correct?
JavaLawyer:
Here is a new released by D-Link that works independently of the mydlink services: Justconnect+
cmontyburns:
Thank you for that. Obviously I hadn't come across it!
Unfortunately, though, the app just gives me one more reason to be disappointed in this camera: the app connects, but no video! It's amazing, and kind of insulting, that D-Link shipped the 5020L. The few things that do work are far too cumbersome (browser administration requires not one but two plugins; focusing is manual and poor), and way too many things don't work at all (FTP and email among them and -- still, since the JustConnect+ app doesn't work with the camera -- mobile viewing).
JavaLawyer:
Quite often, when D-Link releases new cameras, the mobile apps and mydlink services take a while to catch up and provide full support for new camera models.
