    • Nice app for remote access to several cameras simultaneously (video and sound).
    • The mobile app is easy to use too
    • The camera as itself works fine but the installation wasn't that easy, I download the wrong app twice
    • Love the camera, great night vision, great app on the phone so you can talk on your phone and the camera has a speaker so you can talk to whoever is in front of the camera
    • Good company and excellent app.
    • As I have mentioned, you can make "SOME" changes via the Foscam Cloud web page, and many of the same changes can be made from the smart phone app, but the vast majority of configuration needs to happen as described above
    • I had trouble finding a decent iOS app that could use it and was free.
    • The app is limited
    • The application available via their website, well the certificates have expired plus the app was corrupted

    • I really love the camera and the app is super easy to use
    • the app is great and in settings you have plenty of options

    • , I’m guessing I need to take the memory stick and use a computer to view It, you can only view footage if you pay for the cloud service, that’s sad, really it is, such a great camera getting ruined by poor app and settings, I might not buy again, the only purpose for this cameras is to record, and review footage in case something happens, and you just can’t do that from distance unless you pay extra for cloud...
    • Awful smartphone app.

    • Camera has good video quality, but the app to view the live footage is very unreliable
    • Great product but horrible app.
    • The app is slick and does everything you need it to do.- The cloud storage plans are affordable, but you can also store video locally on the device and avoid a subscription
    • The app also drains the Android device battery a good amount.
    • The app was very easy to download and easy to use
    • I have had three of the older F18918 cameras for several years and while they are not HD, they are easy to access (preferred app is Foscam Pro) and provide good pictures and great sound
    • Setup took a long time to literally hack with their awful iOS app and even longer on my Mac SecuritySpy software.
    • Foscam’s official APP is poor
    • The app is very easy to install and you can access to the camera from different phones
    • The mobile app works great, supports PTZ, speaking to your phone (and having it come out the speaker of the camera), and more
    • The smart phone app has a clean UI and is easy to use
    • The biggest problem with this camera is the outdated web interface and the mobile app isn’t any better

    • The app is really user friendly and haven't had any issues with the connection.
    • The app works well.
    • The product is no good because the app is no good
    • Pros: very easy set up; provides an App that you can use on a phone or iPad, which is also a very easy way to use it and very clearly designed; the picture is super clear; and I like the function that lets you talk through the camera; finally it has a very wide angle that covers a big area
    • Easy set up and good app
    • I also use OWLR (two free apps that seem even better than Foscams app).
    • They would feel comfortable coming over to our house and watching their baby across the street on their smart phone through Foscam's easy app
    • The app is also super crappy
    • The quality is great, it’s very responsive and the app is very intuitive
    • The new APP is much better
    • Both the Foscam and Foscam Pro app can be frustrating because they work from wifi and can have spotty connections

    • The new App is huge improvement and is very easy to use
    • I plan to buy more cameras in the future (the app makes it easy to add more) and will recommend their product to friends also looking for pet monitoring solutions (which also doubles as a good security cam).
    • The app looks awesome too
    • What the user also needs is a short overview description of the product, which should include a list of capabilities just using the smart phone APP vs capabilities using a Windows or Mac computer.
    • I cannot recommend FOSCAM because 1) smart phone apps for FOSCAM do not work
    • I won't buy this camera again, or the C1s, until I can find someone to help me access them from the much better third party app from Foscam Pro.
    • We even purchased their stupid app to see if that was the issue
    • However the features of this camera is where things start to fall short, especially the app for it.
    • The app is missing many important configuration options (like static IP, non-default router, etc.).
    • The app is nice that I can review my ad card without removing it from the device

    • Also the app on the phone made installation easy with the QR Code scanning

    • Easy setup, Easy app use, Easy viewing on my computer
    • Easy setup and easy to adjust the angle and movement of the camera from the smart phone app
    • You use a cell phone or tablet as a monitor screen, with the app, and you can control the angle of the camera, and the app is free and is user friendly.
    • The app is also easy to use, and it has all the functions I need
    • and they are great to use with your iPhone app
    • The camera is working just fine as well as the app
    • This camera is fairly inexpensive compared to other similar cameras, but the app is terrible - it’s really glitchy, difficult to use and basically makes the camera useless.
    • Not to mention the fact I cannot control it with the same app as my other cameras, or on my computer - the plugins do not work, none of the downloads offered work at all
    • The apps for it are terrible.
    • The installation is straightforward if you follow the quick setup and the app is intuitive enough to use without any help file, though sometimes I do need to navigate back and forth a few times to find the feature that I want
    • The android app doesn't work unless you register for an account and login
    • camera is basic,poor zoom, difficult control from app,app is worthless unless you pay monthly.
    • Also the app for the camera is easy to install and use
    • this App is free but you get 30 days before it

    • There is a free windoes app called.

    • The app works well and it stays connected to my wireless
    • But even this app has some connection problems to this model of Foscam
    • The setup was fairly easy and the app is easy to navigate
    • 2-Way Audio will not work in iSpy because it appears they changed their web options on this camera significantly and broke pretty much all of the Foscam-compatible apps
    • Notice that I also have the Samsung Smartcam and their app only consumed 0.09% of the battery usage!Until Foscam fixes this app battery drain issue, people should STAY AWAY FROM FOSCAM!!!

    • Foscam’s own app is very poor

    • When I go to work and am bored I open the app to see my children, and I also enjoy sharing the camera feed of them with my friends!
    • I like Motorola’s app much better, but the quality and ease of Foscam is 100x better so far
    • The app works great on LG V20 so far, no complain
    • I like Motorola’s app much better, but the quality and ease of Foscam is 100x better so far
    • There are several alternative apps available for iOS and Android that are compatible
    • The app works well to notify when the camera spots movement
    • The mobile app also tends to freeze or not even connect to the camera
    • App is horrible!
    • Honestly, the app is fine -with one missing feature
    • App and web interface work well and are pleasant to use.
    • The app works great, and we're able to view and control the camera from multiple devices (Android), even when we're remote and not on the home wifi network.
    • Pros:- Easy setup using the iPhone app- very good and clear images and motion capture.- the viewing area it captures is also very large
    • However the app sucks compared to Amazon cam
    • App is pretty weak compared to OWLR Foscam which you can use if you don't like the app from Foscam
    • I also try to install the viewer on my pc, to not have a lot of gadgets around while I'm working, but I couldn't fine any program or app compatible with it.
    • The official app is terrible.
    • For Android phones or tables, I highly recommend tinyCam app
    • The app is also easy to use, my only comment is that the app still needs some updates because it doesn't give an error message when you try to add a camera password containing characters (only some special characters are allowed but it took time to realize that)
    • 99% of time app will not work and freezes.
    • so I'm stuck with the crappy app for now
    • The app is very easy to use and the camera was simple to install.
    • I have used a free third party android app (OWLR Foscam Viewer) for monitoring from the internet
    • App works well and remote access has been good
    • I had everything set up and running perfectly (without using the stupid app, that makes you register) through the browser plugins, and the desktop FoscamVMS (which is pretty good) and some secondary Android apps (
    • Thirdly, if have older Foscams, the new app does not work well with them
    • Smart phone app (at least on iOS) is buggy, slow, and not well designed (UI is fairly poor)6
    • The Android app for this camera is absolutely horrible and unreliable
    • Downloaded the app and with a little practice it worked out beyond my expectations.
    • Also, it would be nice to have an "occupancy/monitoring off" control from the smart phone app, but that is not an option either
    • , the only downfall is i wish there was better app development.
    • Even the app which is not specific to this model is great
    • Great picture resolution, the app works really well for monitoring, and its ability to be rotated nearly 360° in a couple directions are all cool features
    • However, after plugging in the power cord, internet cable, downloading the 'FOSCAM' app in my iphone, and scanning the qr code at the bottom of the camera, it already worked
    • Thirdly, if have older Foscams, the new app does not work well with them
    • I had everything set up and running perfectly (without using the stupid app, that makes you register) through the browser plugins, and the desktop FoscamVMS (which is pretty good) and some secondary Android apps (
    • And the APP to access and control the camera is also very powerful and easy to use
    • App is not available on Galaxy Tab
    • Great camera - HD quality, easy to set up (took me about 5 minutes altogether), great app that allows controlling the camera settings and angles remotely
    • I can easily connect it to the smart phone app which is even more convenient than the other monitors I've had
    • As far as the user interface, the set up trough the app was really easy
    • App also works great when you are on WIFI.
    • The app works, but what's the point of having an HD camera on a scaled up interface?5.
    • He helped with the correct phone app and made sure that everything was working on my computer as well as my phone, before hanging up
    • It was easy to setup on my wireless network, and the app is user friendly as well.
    • In the Apple app store, there are several apps designed to work with this brand's cameras
    • We downloaded the app and manipulated it such as different angels, zoom in and
    • While the camera itself is very nice and works great, without a good iPhone app and cloud service to support it, this camera isn’t much more than a paperweight
    • The app works great on LG V20 so far, no complain
    • The app works well also
    • I knew the only way I would stop trying to make the App and MyFoscam work was to destroy the POJ
    • The App is easy to install and use
    • a picture.-the app works quite well-using the camera to monitor your home while you are home (i.e. the kids playing downstairs or the garage door) is a nightmare
    • I paid for this camera more than i paid for others and i have never had the opportunity to actually use it sense the lousy app is never able to connect
    • The app lags maybe by 2 seconds (but it could be my wifi)
    • Just wish desktop monitoring software was better, and microphone quality is not as great as in previous model.
    • Not working as well as on FoscamPro
    • When I got this one I was confused as to why this one didn't have that feature and thought it was a problem.
    • Work a
    • lags a
    • Setting up the plug-in was confusing in my opinion and that led to confusion as to why I couldn't see the "Playback" tab on Firefox.
    • Not working as well as on FoscamPro
    • We bought the foscam a week ago, it arrived promptly and worked exactly as we expected
    • It either turns on prematurely and no button to shut it off manually or it turns on as intended but focuses on a bright surface lowering the exposure of everything which makes viewing at night as good as not even having
    • Really easy to install and setup; the video quality is excellent and the sound is also surprisingly good from such a small unit!We bought this to keep an eye on our dog during the day, as well as for security when his walker comes, etc.
    • I have installed cameras that cost 4 times as much that don't work half as
    • Small camera that works as it is supposed toI got this camera recently to keep my home safe
