Hi all! I have a wifi webcam that shows video stream in flash in it's web interface... And im sure there are millions of such cameras all over the world... So what? Now we all can just throw our devices to trash? Is it possible to turn on the FP somehow? or maybe replace it by some other solution? I just cant believe Adobe block everything without any alternative... Millions of websites were using flash not just for fun, flash-movies, flash-games, flash-tutorials and etc etc... millions of home webcams like mine... im shocked.

    You have two options: 

    1. Get a new webcam
    2. Use the Enterprise Enablement features to allow the camera UI on your local network.  See the Enterprise Enablement section in the Admin Guide for more: https://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html


    I think the important thing to note here is that Adobe isn't bringing Flash Player to EOL in a vacuum.  In tandem with Flash EOL, most major web browsers will be removing support for browser plug-ins in general.  That means that you're going to need to freeze on a given web browser version and configuration that supports Flash Player for the purpose of using your camera -- but it's super important that you don't use that configuration to browse the web, as you're inevitably going to be missing security updates as time goes on.  

     

    Thanks!

    Please contact the wifi webcam manufacturer to find out if they've migrated their portal to a different technology.
