Do you have to have a static IP to see the camera from the phone. I got it set up to view within the network but can’t view it on the phone.

I too have spent hours trying to find a solution to break the sound/audio barrier issue with viewing the Foscam on the iphone.
The most promising option I have found so far is using my local PC with the free Orb Caster software to broadcast the camera to the Orb Live iphone app. The Orb Caster on the PC specifically has a tab for adding web cameras as a broadcast source with an IP address. And yes, Orb claims that if your camera supports sound, the sound will also be played on the iphone. Problem is, I have not yet had success joining the Foscam to the Orb Caster software. If anybody can figure it out, please post your solution.

â€œFoscam Surveillance Pro” I really like this program! One day the sound barrier will be broken.

Is there any app that support audio too? I want to use my Foscam like a baby watcher, but audio only works with Internet Explorer

Thanks in advance.

Afte brunning thru a nice size lot of apps and iTunes cash I settled on â€œFoscam Surveillanceâ€. Clearly is the best, easiest, most functional, and intuitive app for foscam access. I’ve had no problems in or out of the network. Wifi & 3G alike. Full motion control is simply awesome and landscape along with the multiple camera view is icing. Gotta get sound built into this thing, but once that is there.. It can’t be beat. Many thanks to the developer. Keep at it! Bring the noise!

I’m using the Foscam F18918W –3 of them.

Please add support for audio over iPhone.

This is the only thing holding me back from buying this as a baby monitor.

Babycams are a huge market potential for the app and camera.

@Pinguinefan, thanks. I’m the developer of Foscam Surveillance. Currently with version 1.42 it supports up to 144 cameras and a mosaic view to show 6 (in portrait) or 4 (in landscape) cameras on one screen. It are those kind of posts on blogs that keep me motivated developing in my spare time

I use ICam on the Iphone, supports 4 cameras, pop notification and has option to record motion events. Works in landscape mode. $4.99 for the app, additional $1.99 to enable advanced features. SO WORTH IT. I have not got sound to work as of yet on the Foscam. You have do download and run the Icam Source client on your PC or Mac for your phone to receive the stream. Easy setup and website has a good support forum. Great package for the price. I used it daily on my home security system.

Hi! I use the App “Foscam Surveillance”. It works great also in landscape mode but it’s not cheap with 3,99â‚¬. The developer is now working on version 1.2 which supports moving in 8 directions in landscape mode.
