Could be the firewall blocking the software check in Internet connections for Programs  Other than that not sure

Hello ​

It is unlikely that McAfee is blocking your camera. To confirm if that is the case, please turn off the McAfee firewall and check if you are able to access the camera. If the camera doesnt work with McAfee firewall turned off, then there could be some other reason behind it.

Hi,

To check if McAfee is blocking the camera, please turn off McAfee Firewall and check if you are able to use the camera. If the camera is working fine with McAfee Firewall off, please uninstall and reinstall McAfee using the below links and it should work.

If you are still not able to use the camera with McAfee Firewall turned off, then it should be an issue with the configuration. We suggest that you contact the system manufacturer about this issue and they should be able to fix it.

Thanks,
