Leave a Review Foscam
Seems okay to me.
Was somewhat hesitant to buy Foscam based on the poor reviews of the app. But decided to take a chance. Haven’t had the camera installed long enough to review the hardware, but the app is working fine for me. About the only thing I don’t like so far is it takes longer than I’d like to get a notification when a person or a car is detected in view. Might be a setting I can adjust but I’ve played around with most of the settings and nothing makes it better, and my camera is connected to my 5G network with very solid connection status. So the issue is not my wireless connection. But all in all this app isn’t as bad as the 2.4 star rating would make you believe.Show lessbfield3
Been trying really hard to like
Connectivity to the cameras often is slow and often fails even though the camera is online. Even when that’s not an issue the app is not able to access the SD card most of the time. It’s either the files do not appear on the app or the camera needs to reconnect again, or when you do see the files and want to view, they will buffer until it fails or if you want to download it mostly partially downloads then fails. When it partially works it could take half and hour to download a file after repeatedly opening and closing the app. More recently, the file do not load at all even when reopening and closing the app multiple times.
It’s been a very frustrating experience.
Besides this, the cameras I have are made of some kind of silicone that melts away over time. Time to look out for other brands.Show lessNot playing no more
Doesn’t pre-record on motion events!👎🏻
This cloud recording service is unreliable and technologically way behind the competitors. For example, most of the recorded motion events are recordings of nothing, since this service does not pre-record motion events like all the competitor’s services do. AmCrest records at least three seconds prior to every motion event, therefore you catch everything in your recordings. With this app, if a person, or a car are moving quickly past your cameras, you only get a blank recording. By the time this service starts recording, the person or vehicle has already passed the camera and is long gone. This service would only be useful, if it would pre-record motion events, like the AmCrest service does. Without this feature, this app and service are absolutely useless.👎🏻Show lessBill2go
