    Is there a way to use a WiFi camera with the Camera app.


    We have some feeders for the local humming birds that we like to take videos of.

    We can use a wired camera but it is attached to only one computer.

    We would like to have a WiFi connection to Camera so we do not have a wire.

    .

    Or is there another app to solve this.

    :)

    Change the camera that the Windows 10 camera app uses.

    From http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/camera-app-faq:

    1. Open the Camera app.
    2. Swipe in from the bottom edge to see the app commands.
      (If you're using a mouse, right-click within the app.)
    3. Tap or click the Change camera button.

    If you open the start menu and type in CAMERA and then the app comes back with the message "We can't find your camera" then you might need to check the driver that serves your camera device. Is your camera listed in the >settings > devices area?

    download Windows camera app

    Success in resetting Store; that produced a download of the Windows camera, despite seeing error message again, download proceeded. Screen shows MS app for Windows camera and indicates downloaded. (Camera now listed in app list.) But when Launch was selected,
    no action after screen with camera icon. Eventually message appeared " something went wrong: here is message code if needed: 0x400F4271>MediaCaptureFailedEvent>0xC00D3704. We seem to be moving ahead a step at a time. Next suggestion?
