video doorbell on a windows computer

I would like to see the video doorbell on my laptop or main computer when the doorbell unit detects a person approaching the door.

Is there any way to accomplish this?

@appjaws there is not a specific app for windows but you could try downloading an android emulator for windows something like bluestacks then try running the Sky protect app in that

I couldn't get this to work and ended up with the message "this app "Sky Protect" cannot run on this device".

Very frustrated that a big company like sky, with all of their expertise can't provide a windows or apple application in order to make the protect hardware more flexible for the end user.
