Amazon’s Cloud Cam

@tgauchat Now that Amazon’s Cloud Cam has a web address, how can we get that video feed into a Media Tile? If you go to the website in a browser, it pulls up an amazon authentication screen., then it pulls up the video feed.

If the Cam was half the price I would buy a few.

FYI - It is half price for the next 26 hours during Amazon Prime Day.

If someone has a Cloud Cam account that they can share with me, I’ll take a look.

The most likely roadblock is authentication and/or hotlink blocking. We’ve attempted hotlinking to no-password Nest Cam feeds, and they “sorta” work. I’m not optimistic about Amazon Cloud Cam because they are well aware of what they risk by allowing “app” access.

For one thing: They sell a subscription service for cloud storage. With an “app” that scrapes the Amazon Camera Cloud, customers can arrange their own offline storage for no monthly subscription.

Sorry for the late reply.

I’ve gone with YI home 720p cameras as there is a hack firmware that lets you do all sort of things with them.
