Can the Skype software on the Samsung Smart TV's be set up to automatically answer when a call comes in. I want to use it to see what my dog is doing.

No, thats a function of the Skype application and there is no auto answer setting on the Skype app. A stand alone web cam can be configured to do what you want without using Skype.

My LG TV is a 55lw5600 and it is compatible with that camera BUT (and that is a big BUT) there is no option of possibility to get Skype to ring when you receive a call. All you get is a quick window poping up on your screen with a written message saying : you have an incoming call, accept or ignore. What's the point of getting skype on your TV if there is no ring sound to alert you when you !! I would not recommend this product unless LG fixed it on the software on the TV or add a ring on the camera !!!

It has this option, but I have not tried it myself. On my previous phones, the "skype feature" works, it is just very small. I would use a computer vs. a phone.

It can be configured to auto receive a call and start video, but cannot turn on the TV. So if you are calling to this device, you will be able to start seeing and hearing people there, but they cant see you as they manually have to turn the TV on. However, they can hear the device ringing (skype standard ringtone) even if the TV is OFF. Hope this helps.

Check the connection. Turn TV off, connect camera then turn TV on and open Skype and check if camera is operational.

6:30 pm 18Jan15Hi! there, JamesYes, this Grandstream is compatible with a Skype account set up. The process is very similar to using a PC/Laptop. The respective skype addresses are entered into the phone either manually or configured to 'auto-connect'. BTW. I have an extra unit still in the box that was purchased as a backup. I'll let it go for a fair amount. Take care. Kind Regards, Richard

Yeppers :o) I've not used it fully, but there's a mobile version of Skype and it certainly dials out properly!The downside is that some products seem to have flakey WiFi (mine does not - works great) and that may be the biggest problem.Bennett

As I don't own a TV camera or the Smart TV model you list I can't answer your question. Please visit the Samsung website and they will be able to answer your questions. They have a live chat feature there.

As far as I know.....google tv pulled the plug on all chat cameras! They now refer you to Skype, and no, this camera is not compatible with Skype on your tv. I went thru this. Only current solution is an actual Skype camera for your tv. More expensive. Sorry!

It depends on the application you're using. Skype certainly gives you that option.

Just plug it in and it installs itself. Skype works great with it. I use it on Windows also.

As long as your tv is a smart tv then you're fine. Your tv has to have skype. My does plus YouTube, Netflix, etc....all came with. I later updated the software just to keep everything up to date. It's hooks up to USB port plug & play. Hope this helps. Have a great weekend!!!

If you don't have 3D capabilities or hand motion recognition, then your paying for features you can't use. If you read the item info it was designed for Samsung tvs 2012 or higher that have 3D, hand and/or facial recognition, basically the 7000 series and up. If you want to save a few bucks the 2000 model will work for Skype etc., but if your planning to buy future Samsung tvs, then go ahead and buy it so that it will all the features cover. Make sure on the back of your tv, you have a usb port labeled tv camera if not, call Samsung for support.

There is a CD included with the camera. Plug the receiver into your PC via the included USB cable and then install the included software on your PC.Ten install Skype, for free, from Skype.comSkype will then see your Samsung receiver as a 'camera' and whoever establishes a call with you on Skype will be able to see what your receiver would be seeing.This is all in theory, though. As I mentioned, there are significant issues with the picture (cut in half and stretched doubly) if you're doing this on a Windows 7 PC and I've been waiting for several months now for a Samsung product engineer to get back to me with fixed software for Windows 7.
