  • Upon receipt of the camera, it did not work straight from the box, the firmware was faulty
  • Small camera that works as it is supposed toI got this camera recently to keep my home safe
  • They have one-click upgrade for firmware and robust cloud service, which suggests to me that FOSCAM will continueimproving their firmware and providing strong support for their products in the foreseeable future.
  • Upgraded the firmware in Firefox web-client, all the settings for recording to my WD Mybook Mirror NAS work great, and was even getting the email alerts

  • Good features such as motion detection and human motion detection ( to reduce false alarms) and audio and speaker phone functions

Reviews around tilt (2.40 of 5)

  • Another improvement that I would suggest to Foscam is that the pan/tilt feature in Foscam app be more interactive, meaning when you press the pan/tilt aka (horizontal/vertical) button it should stop scrolling when you let the button go.
  • The zoom and pan/tilt features work great and are very responsive when I adjust them
  • Pan/Tilt works great, but slow response from the Android app
  • I can view the images on my Android with Foscam App, I can Pan, Tilt & Zoom
  • : It is very quiet when rotating/tilting/zooming, which works great for monitoring the baby's sleep

Reviews around room (1.54 of 5)

  • I love being able to pan the room and zoom in to see what my sons doing

  • The camera is excellent as we can use the night vision to see her in her dark room while she is sleeping...and the notifications can alert us if she starts crying
  • Not everyone can put a camera in the perfect room corner to get a full
