Pretty good...

It’s probably better than the other ones for the cameras now BUT I have an issue with not being able to take video and photos from the camera off my IOS device. Which is annoying if you want to use them in any context.

Basic, functional but can be better

Used this for quite a while now ... Easy way to connect to cameras and view them , certain control functions are available but in my opinion it will be even better if I could access and change the admin settings panel for my cameras to change sensitivity etc.... Nonetheless , great app to be just viewing feed, recording video and snapping screenshots of feed

Mediocre

Decent app and functionality. However, every time I open the app it deleted one or two cameras. Very annoying.

Good app

easy to use and works well but uses heaps off data over 3G

Pa$$word

My password has $$ in it and this app says they are illegal characters.
Perhaps next update will fix this.
Until then I will use my other IP camera apps.
So sad

Works very well

Works very well. Can view multiple cams, pan, use presets, etc
Wish I could turn on and off alerts with it.
But otherwise excellent

Inconsistent password policy

The Foscam IPCam Client software allows for good password strength and permits characters such as '$'. This app does not allow you to use the '$', as a result I cannot access my Foscam camera with this app unless I want to change my passwords.

Finally it works..

No idea why there are two "official" apps from Foscam. This one seems to work fine for both internal and web access. It actually finds your ip cameras on your internal network (even some non Foscam cameras such as WatchBot). You can view up to 4 cameras on one screen, but can store details of far more. If you are trying to view cameras from the web make sure you open the right ports and assign those to the internal ip address of you camera NOT the MAC address or device name!!

Only issue at mo is the crap way the scheduler works even if you log on to the camera on a pc.. The scheduler here can be turned on/of but you can't (as far as I can see) be modified.. But you can't do that with any of the other Apps I've seen. You could alway bookmark you camera and use safari...

Better PTZ control

App is great, but would be even greater if PTZ controls were not screen swipe but dedicated control like joystick, if one were to pinch and zoom the screen, one can accidentally PT the camera instead. And also with joystick control of PT, there is more precision.

Not enough camera capability

This app seems to work great. It however maxes out at 4 cameras. We have more than that in which we need to access. This would be a 5 star app if I could actually access all my cameras. Please change this to allow us to access all of our cameras.
