BAD customer service

i understand that cost control is important in running any kinds of business. at the same time, there needs to be cost set aside to cover defective products and unexpected problems that you may encounter. nickleing and diming royal customers who have...

works well when it works

i've had foscam ip cams for a while. a few months ago, i purchased my 5th one to set it up in one of my kids bedroom as a babycam. i've set them up multiple times for my friends and family, and it was no problem. however the night vision function was...

Good basic camera

I purchased this through another company (sorry newegg) for financial reasons but wanted to leave a review here because I shop at new egg fairly regularly + this doesn't have a review. I run a dedicated box for video security with the freeware iSpy...

motorized PTZ capability ; IR ; Wireless & Wired ; Decent length power cable ; Great GUI ; Compatible with iSpy freeware application ; decent mounting bracket with good range of motion

Resolution is dated ; IR doesnt throw very far

Nice...Really Nice

FOSCAM FAQ is pretty impressive and they cover just about all of the problems you might encounter. I've been using it to monitor inside & outside activity and it works as expected and I'm still trying to fine tune it to make it better. Note: Tabbing...

Motor is very quiet and the IR works extremely well especially in low light. I bought this combo set because I needed a surveillance camera to work with my Synology NAS system and after previewing several others this particular camera stuck out as the...

The power cord is very short so it will need to be by an electrical outlet or use an extension cord. When setting up your camera with a host name it’s impossible to use your own host name or another “Host” or “Domain” name. You can only use the few...

Nice hardware when it works, flaky software

Nice quality for the resolution with and without infrared ; Tech support is good especially considering they are helping from Hong Kong

WebUI is very "young" and somewhat flaky at times ; One of the units failed during upgrading (I had to upgrade to try to get wireless settings to take). Make sure update for firmware takes before running update for UI ; I bought from a Marketplace...

Best Value (if you know what you're doing)

Ignore the other review. I have 3 of these now, and have used 1 for over a year. No problems with the device whatsoever. I recommend setting "Save PTZ positions" on in the menu, as it's disabled by default, for some reason. Allows you to save position...

Best Bang for your Buck ; Wireless and Stand-Alone. No PC required ; 2-Way Audio ; Infrared ; Great for Baby Monitor ; Tons of video clients available. I use "tinyCam Monitor" on Android devices, to watch the baby while at work or on travel. There's...

Directions are "iffy ; If you have a basic understanding of networking, you should be fine. WiFi setup consists of plugging directly into a router or computer to initialize, select to your WiFi network, then disconnect and install wherever you want it....

Surprisingly clear picture w night view

Used to cover valuable safes and door entrances; have two setup, bought two more for additional area coverage. Love the Internet smartphone capability, though not basic to setup.

Clear ; Easy To Move Coverage ; Lights up dark room

Somewhat Difficult Setup
