Attractive Very Affordable Camera with Pan & Tilt
Excellent simple camera with pan & tilt, my 5th Foscam camera over the years. This is a smaller, more attractive design than some of the earlier cameras, at a very affordable price. The resolution is incredible, pushing 5 megapixels. I only purchase security cameras with pan & tilt because it’s very useful to be able to remotely control the angle and get a better view of areas across a larger area. Setup was simple with the Foscam iPhone app, I just had to scan the QR code on the bottom of the camera and then it generates a QR code that displayed on my iPhone, and I had to hold my phone in front of the camera’s view. The Foscam recognizes this QR code and connects to wifi.This camera is powered over Micro USB, which is incredibly convenient. I can power it from a multiple port USB power adapter (that is sufficiently powerful) and avoid requiring an additional power brick. It does not have an Ethernet port so it must be used exclusively with WiFi, which I think is the most common use case for many people. A USB cable and power adapter is included as well.The design of this camera is very simple and clean, it blends in a bit better than some other designs and also includes night time infrared lighting. I’ve attached a well lit and a darkness photo taken from my desk with the camera. I’m looking forward to replacing one of my older cameras with this and enjoying the higher resolution imagery.

Okay camera, very disappointing software
I bought this mainly to alert me when packages were delivered so I could grab them before they got stolen; I also wanted to track animals (mostly feral cats to catch for a trap-neuter-release program). The camera takes okay photos but the software is a mess and rendered it useless for my purposes. It wasn’t able to detect a single delivery person, and it only detected me walking in front of it about half the time. I received so many alerts because it would trigger on falling snow, but the next day it wouldn’t detect any of the animals or people that walked through that snow.The PC software and the Android app don’t completely match up, so some settings from the app show up differently on PC – while some settings on PC don’t show at all in the app. Zone detection didn’t work at all – if enabled it wouldn’t detect anything, period. There are spelling mistakes throughout the PC software, and conflicting descriptions in the app, which didn’t instill much confidence that the developers were staying regular on updates.But I finally gave up and returned it after contacting customer support – after a night of heavy snow, and a day of people and animals walking through it all without a single event detected by the camera, customer support’s response was for me to hand over the password for my account/device and the *specific times* of all the missed events – not seeming to understand that if it weren’t for the disturbed snow, I wouldn’t have known that things were being missed. I should have paid more attention to all the negative reviews about this camera.
