Step 3 of 5: Creating a Skype account
A Skype account allows you to connect to your camera through the Skype service. Skype is
a service that allows users to make voice calls and video calls to anywhere in the world.
In order to connect to your video monitor using Skype, you will need two accounts---one
for the
camera
(i.e. Lorex Camera) and one for yourself (i.e. Tom Smith).
