NC200 won't work with common browsers
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have two NC200 cameras but they don't work with Edge, Chrome, or Firefox - latest versions of all. They do work with PaleMoon which I believe is a Firefox derivative.
Chrome, Edge, and Firefox are probably the most common browsers out there, so why doesn't TP-Link allow their cameras to work with these browsers?
In Chrome for example, it says "Um,this brower may not support camera video well.
If you could't view the camera video,try the tpCamera app or another brower such as Internet Explorer,Firefox,Safari,or Opera.We will update the software as soon as possible. Sorry for the in convenience and thanks for your choice." (the spelling errors are TP-Link's, not mine).
This message has been there for years, as you can tell by the suggestion to use Internet Explorer, despite them saying they will update the software as soon as possible.
Has anyone else overcome this? Downloading the plugin doesn't help.
@TP-Link
Thanks for your reply. In answer to your questions -
1. I have had the cameras for a little over 4 years
2. before I bought the cameras I had no reason to use the software so I'm not sure of the relevance of your question
3. I'm not sure what you mean by the "tpCamera APP". It works on my android phone if that's what you mean, but on my pc it will not connect via the ip address using Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. It will connect using Pale Moon. The phone app only allows viewing, not access to settings.
4. I can live view the cameras in those browsers on tplinkcloud.com, but of course I can't access any of the settings there, such as motion detection etc.
Attached are two screen dumps of the messages received when I try to connect.
The first one suggesting I download the plug in is the Firefox screen, and the other appears on both Edge and Chrome.
