Obsolete PTZ cam?
Now that it's official and all browsers have block FLASH plug-in content what can I do with a perfectly good out door weather proof PTZ camera? The camera needs the Flash plug-in to operate and it needs a browser. Any ideas? I already bought new cams to replace this one. It seems like a real waste to to throw it out.

You could use an old browser ..... like IE..... and have it set not to auto update but that would leave the computer open for hacking. Say good night to that camera.

I have three that are collecting dust that I still haven't been able to trash. Luckily they were cheapies otherwise I'd be really cheesed.

Just wait a bit, you've probably heard of "DD-WRT", "jailbreaking", or "rooting"?
I suspect that somebody will write new firmware for the old camera standard that omits flash.
There are enough old flash cameras installed out there that somebody will likely write a new firmware that bypasses flash and updates them new communication standards.

So I bought three Foscam's. Two of the HT-2 and one of the NZ4. Had great price and discount just before Christmas. Currently set up on work bench for testing. First good weather day I mount one on the front of house.

When Adobe Stopped Flash Content From Running It Also Stopped A Chinese Railroad (jalopnik.com)]
The railroad’s technicians did get everything back up and running, but the way they did this is fascinating, too. They didn’t switch the rail management system to some other, more modern codebase or software installation; instead, they installed a pirated version of Flash that was still operational. The knockoff version seems to be known as “Ghost Version.”
