Pros & Cons
Pros
Best feature about this camera is the clarity for night vision. Their newer cameras offer both, but not all do. A particularly good new feature is the alarm only when human is detected feature.
Foscam is a great value for the price and the amount of features. The app is user friendly, the camera allows you to hear sounds by the camera and you can also talk through the camera as well without needing to exit the foscam app. The camera itself i... Read More
Great tech support. Plus, their customer service responds quickly to questions and works to solve issues.
Used foscam abou five years. This is a replacement for a dying one which lasts 7 years so no complaints.
Work's great if you have to use a 5g router. It has the ability to write to sd card locally; which is nice and it can also write out to an ftp server. But should be hard wired with ethernet. Ethernet.
Cons
The r4c will not consistently display the video feed, even though the login to the camera is successful and all seems well with the connection. Neither camera has zoom any more.
The camera is guaranteed to freeze and require a restart at least once a night. You're able to see it live, but otherwise, you won't be able to rewatch it unless you're back at home. If i use this camera via wifi it locks up within hours.
I find it very bad for your company to obligate you to buy the cloud service to see the cameras. The other foscam camera i have on a cloud purchase account works fine with cellular data.
Highlights
Quality
Very clear picture and happy with product.
We are all happy with the products and support.
The new camera has better picture quality, enhanced night vision than previous version.
This camera is a good upgrade to other versions as the picture quality is improved.
Competitiveness
I've been a foscam customer for years.
(6 assorted foscam indoor cameras) i use them out doors under the eves, and they've held up well for years.
Can also connect as an ip camera with devices like synology nas.
I have purchased dozens of foscam cameras for myself and several friends.

Although the 2k resolution is a bit hard on storage the quality is noticeable and definitely missed when absent on other cameras
