Considering the last up was years ago, this app has been abandoned. ### 1/5 — Support link is invalid *2024-03-15, version 1.77* The app support link is invalid. They ask you to request help before leaving a bad review but the support link is no good. 4.99 for what? I could use some help linking a camera. I’ll update the review if I receive customer support. ### 1/5 — Junk, does not work with any of my Foscams, I want a refund *2021-04-04, version 1.77* Junk, ### 1/5 — No support whatsoever *2021-03-02, version 1.77* The website you are directed to no longer exists. What the heck! 5 bucks wasted. Was goingg to buy the 2.0 but no support forget it. ### 1/5 — Foscam Fl9831P *2020-12-16* Everything work but the setup was not friendly if you go by the search function it require you to reset your camera to default factory. Adding manually work but I didn’t get all the feature that it state on the apps store. Hear what I don’t have. 1. No SDcard function found to setup 2. No playback function 3. No email setup found 4. Basically I have app as viewer only if thought it a paid pro version. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-09-26, version 1.77* I have used this app for years and have been very happy... until today. I have discovered that the app is NOT compatible with the newer Foscam (or Amcrest) cameras; and any attempt to get support lands you on a Chinese marketing site. Apparently the developer has gone under or defunct? It’s disappointing. Now I have to shop for a replacement. If you have any cameras newer than 4 years old, do NOT purchase this program. ### 1/5 — Bad, Bad, Bad *2020-08-06, version 1.77* This has got to be one of the worst apps I ever purchased if I could I would really like my $4.99 back it is worthless ### 1/5 — Total rubbish *2020-06-10, version 1.77* Does not support current Foscam new generation like fi9901ep. ### 1/5 — No landscape IPAD view *2020-05-18, version 1.77* After all this time, when. All others developers are ensuring that their applications runs in landscape on an iPad. Yours still does not - perhaps contributing to your low ratings ### 4/5 — Useful app *2020-04-27, version 1.77* Straightforward Relatively easy setup Good control of cameras Disappointing they started changing for upgrades ## Frequently asked questions about Foscam Surveillance Pro ### What does Foscam Surveillance Pro do?
