Hi. I have purchased a Lorex LNB8973 PoE IP Camera and would like to view it using a web browser (on a smart television) rather than a NVR. Recording is not required, but I would like to operate the optical zoom, if possible. Lorex, I believe, say that it must use a NVR, whereas members on this site say that Lorex cameras can be viewed on a web browser using the appropriate software to identify the fixed IP address. Would anyone be able to clarify this for me and point me in the direction of software, etc., that might help. Thanks very much, Chris.
