What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Installation is very easy using the foscam app. Notifications are timely and can be silenced with a dnd function. To access the camera via a browser needs an internet explorer plugin on microsoft windows. Only issue is that alerts are triggered for hu... Read More
The casing protects the camera well from the elements and the occasional nosey starling that sat on top of mine the other day! It sits behind a cover which requires two allen-bolts to be undone first. The fixing bracket is neat and not oversized, like... Read More
An all round excellent camera. Perfect day and night vision. Night vision has a good distance.
Cons
Camera only detects motion no more than 6 inches away. Cables are about 10% of a sensible length. Software is *, made in china somewhere and will drive you nut. I have a previous foscam ptz camera, and that works fine on any browser (firefox or chromi... Read More

Price
In all, a great camera at this price.
This ipc is an excellent product in a very good price.
I needed a new camera to cover my driveway and garage, and on this basis i ordered the fi9902p at £69.
For a 1080p outdoor camera this is good value for money.
Shipping
The product arrived a few days before the estimated delivery date in an excellent condition.
Unfortunately it arrived with a euro plug but sam at foscam was super helpful to send out a replacement uk plug next day.
The appointment time was set up prior to the support and was sorted in a few minutes.
Packaging/appearance
Upon receipt and opening, the camera is well packaged, and included an allen key for adjustment and screws/plugs for fixing to a wall etc.
I bought the foscam fab99 mounting box in white (to match the camera colour), which made installation much easier and protected... Read More
Competitiveness
I contacted foscam support and got great help from yiko.
That's something that others do better - hikvision, hilook, acti to name three, can all provide two streams at full frame rate.
Thank you to foscam and especially yiko.
Although i have made a survey in the market, it seems that foscam is the only vendor that offers software for mac desk top comp... Read More

The camera is very east to install as the instructions are clearly written

The very well constructed bracket only allows either an up and down adjustment and no side ways adjustment or by reconfiguring the bracket allows sideways movement but then no vertical adjustment

The aerial is a fixed 90 degree bracket onto the rear of the camera casing so if the camera is pointing down the aerial is not vertically aliened to allow optimum reception

If the aerial was mounted on the side of the camera instead this would have easily solved the problem

When using both it interrupts the scheduled recording to grab the period of motion for you separately as well as grabbing snapshots at the same time which is a nice touch
