How does the viewing through Skype work? Do you set up an account specifically for the camera(s)? Can multiple people connect to the Skype feed?

so far I have only used the zmodo phone app, which works well. there are 2 apps, one for when you are on your home network. one for when you are not. my understanding is there is a way to "port forward" so you can view your cameras on any computer but my attempts to do that so far have failed. They weren't much of an attempt though. Ill probably try again later. There are some youtube videos of how to do it.

I used the Skype application available for free for this phone. I used it only once and it was ok. The sound quality was very good, but the other side (which is Europe, I was calling from the US) complained that my video was slightly blurry. I cannot tell if it was because of the camera or because of the poor connection. I will let you know if I try again and have a better result.

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

Log in individually... You could have multiple browser windows open viewing multiple cams at the same time.

That is so helpful!! I have been trying to figure that out for a while for skype and stuff because my friends cant see me when i get online. I have a flip camera and i was trying to see if you could use it as a webcam! THANKS!!!

It's a plugin and play BUT you need some software ~ if you're using skype you just have to set skype to use it in it's Options if you're using it for streams or recording you may want to look into Bandicam or Manycam Softwares

Yes. The camera has a feature that lets you choose to keep the screen on when your eyes are looking at the screen. The front camera is mediocre for Skype and awful for photos.

If you phone the foscam tech support desk they will log into your pc remotely and set them up for you or they will talk you through the setup process. There's a bunch of technical stuff that we would never have figured out if they had not helped us.

I tried a lot but it does not accept Cam or cam of phone as camera for skype.. What I did not try was wireless ? (Wifi) camera. Multi usb hub works well also wireless keyboard mouse work nicely.

The camera works quite well with Vista and Skype. Friends and family that I have talked to on it are very complimentary about the quality of my video feed.

Hi, I just bought the LifeCam VX-5000 and I have the same problem as Bonnie above. Could anyone tell me what version of windows and what version of skype they are using? I just want to get this to work. Thanks!

Yes an external webcam is required. I have not tried it yet, but when attempted to start Skype it asked for webcam + mic

yes. in fact i use two of these cameras at the same time, one with my skype desktop and one for my skype app. i use them for home surveillance.

C. Brown, I've got this camera and I love it. It works absolutely fantastic. It's got a High Def mode with Skype so you get pretty good picture quality in it with nice connections.

it kindof works hand in hand, have you tried it on skype or something because it should work whenever the camera is on and being used

I encountered the same problem.. it looks like you can pair the camera to only one monitor at a time. Rats.
