Picture quality is decent and night vision is okay too.
Picture quality is good as you would expect from a full hd camera and has a good field of view that should cover most rooms.
Picture quality is very clear and sharp and being ‘alexa’ compatible is an added bonus.

I simply scanned the qr code using the foscam app and there it was.

One new feature that is really good fo getting the best angle is the addition of the swivel on the camera mounting are with the old fixed type occasionally the angle would be compromised but now you can adjust it absolutely spot on

Foscam’s movement detection has been good and you could set it up to avoid false alarms but this took a bit of time and adjustment to get it right but the new human detection is a revelation no need to exclude and detection areas and it’s false alarm free so far

Heres why when doing a wifi test the camera fails every time if you have a ltspacegt in your wifi name ssid this was a real pain as my wifi ssid did have a space in it for whatever reason this camera really struggled with that so in the end i ended up having to make a guest network just for the camera this is not a well documented problem and its not obvious thats the reason for the failure of the wifi test very annoying
