Viewing external Foscam on Sony Bravia TV

[CallmeGoose]

Ive just purchased an external forscam f1921w. At work at the moment, but ill be able to view it on all ipads, iphones etc once hooked up, however I would like the ability to view it on my 50" sony bravia smart tv.


The only way i can think of doing this is through the tv's inbuilt web browser. I have a 4 port HDMI switch, used to connect my sky box, ps4 and revo to the tv, leaving one port free. I would like to utilise this some how.

Is there some sort of USB/HDMI dongle i can use, chromecast? that i can just turn the relevant hdmi channel on and boom there is the cctv live feed?

maybe i could utilise the revo in some way come to think of it, and have windows run a dual xbmc / cctv screen? assuming i would need some sort of cctv software...

If the revo runs windows then you can either use a web browser or software if foscam supply any or a generic ipcam app should do. I'm not sure what you can do with a chromecast.

I've had that camera working via the NowTV webcam channel before - it's at our lasses though and I've not used it for about a year but it definitely worked with that combo!

thanks lads. just looking into the nowtv option, but i think the best setup would be to look for some decent ip cam software.

any recommendations?
