 Okay Camera For Under $100 !!! August 27, 2010
Gemini
I wrote a bad review of this wireless camera last night, but have since deleted that review. In my last review I remarked specifically on how incredibly difficult it is to setup this camera for wireless use and It is difficult because there are many technical issues involved that were unfamiliar to me and the thought that this could be just a piece of chinese garbage never left my mind. The frustration factor was really getting to me. But, like a jigsaw puzzle, if you just walk away from it and return later, it will come together. This camera does work and much to my satisifaction, but be prepared to mess with it a little bit. And you'll learn a lot of other things along the way.
Oh Yeah! Don't forget about the firewall!!!
Great video quality, night vision. Horrible audio August 21, 2010

Summary:
Great cam if you can deal with the technical setup issues and are interested in great video quality and/or night vision. Forget it if you're interested in audio.
Positives:
1. VIDEO QUALITY - One of the best I've seen for an IP-based camera, especially in this price range.
2. NIGHT VISION - SUPERB! I tried it in a dark room with all lights off and I could see in the room just as if the lights were on (of course everything is in black and white in this case). Blows anything I've tried before out of the water.
Negatives:
1. AUDIO QUALITY
a) I bought this camera for a baby monitor after reading the review of someone else who bought for the same reason and said the audio quality was good. That's not true at all. Maybe they got a superior version of the product, but I doubt it. The audio makes a pretty loud static noise every time the image updates, which for me is just over once per second. It's even more pronounced in wireless mode than in wired mode. I'm sure you can imagine how annoying that could get listening to that repetitive noise all day while the baby sleeps. It's still not bearable, even in wired mode. My guess is that the processor in the device draws too much power/makes too much noise and interferes with the audio recording.
b) When you pan/tilt the camera, it makes a LOT of noise. I could deal with this if it weren't for 1a.
c) I tried the "2 way" audio feature to send audio to the camera, and it sounds really distorted on the other end.
2. UNSIGNED ACTIVEX - In order to use the audio or MJPEG video features you have to use Internet Explorer and you have to install an "Untitled" ActiveX object that is unsigned. Getting this working requires jumping through a few hoops and is not for the technically light hearted. If they'd just pay for a certificate and get their control signed, it would save people a lot of trouble.
3. PAN/TILT CONTROL - Not that great. If you press the button to move the pan/tilt a little bit, it moves just a tiny amount. You have to hold down the button to get it to move any usable distance, and then a delay in the image update makes it hard to time the movements just right. There should be some sort of velocity control for how fast the camera moves.
4. DOCUMENTATION - Not very good, unless you know Chinese. Sentences are not well written, but can be understood with some effort.
5. INSTALL/SETUP - Not very good. The camera comes with some software that's supposed to auto-detect your cameras and let you configure them, but I never got it working. The camera was still accessible via the web interface, however.
I'm most likely going to return the camera and look for something better suited to my needs. If I think of a good reason to have a good quality night vision camera around for the video alone, then I'll keep it.
Misleading Advertising June 18, 2010

The Ads for this product are misleading. The item advertisies IT support and reviews show people that received phone support. If you buy through Amazon, phone support doesn't exsist with the seller or FOSCAM. The phone support shown in reviews are from people who bought from other companies (not through Amazon). The only support you get if you buy through Amazon is E-mail exhchange oversees with someone who has very limited English ability. Most of the time they send you images from the instructions, which are poorly written.
I did get the camera working, and am happy with it, but it took two weeks of E-mail exchange and finding blogs with better instructions to set it up the way I wanted. It was very time consuming. Also, they don't tell you, that if you use an Iphone to watch video, the sound does not work.

This camera when it is working properly is AWESOME! but honestly it constantly falls off line for no reason, sometimes you can't acces the site, and everything happens randomly as I don't move the camera around and is is about a foot away from the wireless.
But one good thing about foscam is that their Tech support is INCREDIBLY GOOD.

This is a pretty good product overall. No trouble installing or operating it. Night vision IR works well.
My three complaints are that, the picture quality is poor in color (washed out looking), even in daylight.
The 2ed problem is that their software has NO "Presets" option for camera positions. It's a hassel every time you change the pan or tilt to get it back to its origional position.
My final complaint is that the Audio pickup and speaker are very bad quality, almost not worth using.
