I have tried a variety of IP cameras and all of them require a person to install a bunch of java or other software to be able to view the camera. Usually it doesn't install correctly or you have to really work at it to make it work in anything but Internet Explorer. Having to figure out hidden ways to add exceptions to certificates and other nonsense shouldn't be required to view the cam.
Are there any cameras that allow you to just plug in the cams ip address (the router ip/port forward, yadda yadda) into any browser, anywhere in the world and be able to view the camera, through streaming video or at least by refreshing still images without having to go through a bunch of trouble that looks like you are trying to install a virus.
In Windows 7/10, I have never been able to view any of these cameras in Chrome or Firefox. The java NEVER works no matter how many times it is installed and I follow a hundred steps to making it work. I want to install a public camera that people can access from anywhere and don't have to fear that they are getting a computer virus. Nobody would ever go through all that trouble to view a cam.
I find cameras like this all the time online, where you just go to a website and boom, you are viewing a live feed. No java, no logins, no nonsense. How is it done?
