I already had two of these cameras and they are great. I just bought two more of these. One came with a European style power cord so it doesn't plug in here. Called Amazon, they offered an $11 dollar refund and said to purchase the power cord separately for $11. Seemed good so that is what I did. Got email that the plug shipped. Fast forward two days and I get email saying something happened and they cancelled my delivery. no reason given. Amazon even let me reorder the same part. hoping to get a cord soon..

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent for the price
Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2014
Verified Purchase
Photo quality is good, video quality is average except when there's any motions. A person walking past the camera about 20ft away in normal lighting produces blurry images. This is fine for home use where it's easy to identify family members, but this would not work to identify strangers or produce a face photo for identification. I would only know that there's someone in my home that I DONT recognize.

Setup wasn't too bad, but I'm very technical and was able to figure out more complex features like port forwarding, FTP, and DDNS. However, I think the average person would have a lot of trouble due to poor documentation and help.

Features and customization are decent for the price. Only complaint is you can only select values from drop down lists. You can enter your own values such as alarm triggered interval. Your options are 1s to 15s. I would like to enter values like 1 min or 5 min. Several settings are not open fields and use predefined values in drop down lists.

Mobile apps are confusing and many do not work well. I had to download several from Google Play to figure out which ones I liked and which ones worked well. I was expecting Foscam to provide the best mobile apps, was was very unimpressed. I ended up using IP Cam Remote, Cam Monitor, and Foscam Viewer. Still haven't decided which one I like best, but the upside is there's a lot of options to choose from.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Problematic Camera
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2014
Verified Purchase
I bought this camera in the Fall of 2013. Now in July 2014, the IR lights randomly flash at night, setting off the motion detector and sending me 100's of alert emails when nothing is there. I wrote to Foscam, they said contact the seller for RMA, but of course, Amazon says it is too late to return it. My experience with it before the malfunction was problematic as well. I almost always had to hook it up to a Lan connection to access the control panel, even though it is supposed to work wirelessly (and did so on rare occasions). The updates are not simple to install and require careful reading of the translated instructions. And not being a networking guru means you are never sure what some of the settings actually mean, or whether setting them a particular way is off or is on. I hope Foscam will get their act together, but all in all a waste of my money and a disappointment.

Practical and after an easy installation the camera is doing its job well. I have two of them around the house and I even placed one outdoors.
I also have two small toddlers and they threw the camera around, but they are still working.
IMHO after testing a lot of cheaper products, these are the best in term of durability and reliability.

La cámara cumple con lo que se le pide. Tiene una muy buena calidad de imagen y captura imágenes a una tasa muy aceptable.

Yo estoy montando un sistema de vigilancia en casa, y es la mejor cámara (también la más cara) entre todas las que he probado (un modelo chino, y otra cámara de Amazon)

Como único punto negativo es que viene con enchufe ingles, por lo que hay que comprar el adaptador.
