Question 1

Do you think this will work as a webcam to live stream with?

Accepted Answer

it depends what you are trying to do.  are you trying to run a Ustream channel?  Some people have reported mixed results with that.  but if you are simply trying to view something remotely for security purposes its what these cameras are built to do!  great cameras for night use because of the IR LEDs!

Question 2

Can multiple cameras be integrated into one small business monitoring system. Is that possible here? I.e., Can I view 10 cameras from my computer simultaneously, e.g. in 10 distinct windows over WiFi?

Accepted Answer

You may be able to configure it that way but I don't think the software would actually function . I only have one camera set up and it is so slow responding to any commands compared to other cameras I have had. Randomly drops connections, looses time setting when the power goes out.  I should have returned. Unit may work in a perfect world but not in any of the three systems I have installed on. I'm sure there are better options for the same if not a little more money, I only bought one to start, will continue to shop for a better setup that is more reliable.

Question 3

I want to connect to my Windows tablet using WiFi.  Can I do that directly, or am I dependent upon the internet to access the vendor's cloud server?

Also, if the vendor goes out of business, or just stops offering the cloud service, can I still access the camera remotely?

Accepted Answer

You can connect by your local ip address assigned by your router.

I do not use the trendnet cloud, my router has its own dynamic ip address but you can use a third party dynamic address service ad well if you don't want to use trend net cloud.

Question 4

is there an HTML API so I can integrate this camera into my webpage?

Accepted Answer

One really easy way to do this is to have it FTP the latest image to an image hosting server that you can point to with HTML.  We do this by using weather underground.  But if it's not weather related there's others.
