Is there such a thing as an app-free IP camera any more?

[drscriptt@oldbytes.space]

@mwl yes (mostly?) maybe?

Does video LAN client (VLC) count as an app in this case? It’s not vendor proprietary app.

I have some low end cameras off of Amazon in the last year that I can point VLC at and watch videos.

I may have needed the bender app to prime things. And I’m not even sure about that.
Let me know if you want to know more or have links.

That said, I know of no evidence or reports that TP-Link cams should be trying to send anything to Alibaba (or other Chinese servers).
