Excellent camera, easy to install, great picture (Posted on 2/10/16)

Setup on my Android device was super easy, after figuring out to use the 2.4GHz network instead of 5GHz. However, setup on a computer, to view the streaming content in a browser is perhaps impossible given that browsers such as chrome and firefox don't support the plugins that are required anymore because they are obsolete.

Keep in mind this uses a USB port for power, so if your upgrading from the NORMAL CCTV setups and want to use the power you have already run from your old camera, you will have to come up with some way to convert to USB. Big turn off for us as we have power pre ran to all our camera spots and now have to splice usb cables into our low volt power runs. (Posted on 10/27/15)

Easy setup, and paired with Blue Iris these cameras are the easiest security cameras you can install. Each camera's set up was about 1 minute. It took longer to find each cameras ultimate spot to set it and we were up and running. The iphone app is amazing, I no networking expert so this was so simple to use. I now have 6 Foscams as my video survellance at my home. I own two FI9826 cameras, and one 9810 but I even though these are not PTZ the clarity is amazing quality in the video. You will not be disappointed! (Posted on 7/29/15)

I like this camera. Good product for the price you pay! My only dislike is the C1 doesn't seem to be supported by other viewing apps (IP Cam Soft). So I separately have to download foscam's app to view this one camera. If it was supported by other apps, I would undoubtedly buy more! Viewing angle and picture are great! (Posted on 7/1/15)

Setting up the camera via smartphone was extremely easy. However, it is a different story when setting up on my laptop. I used the CD that came with the box for installation but unfortunately it did not work properly. The software is unable to detect the camera. I have purchased the item for over a month now, downloaded all the software available from their website and still unable to view drom my computer or havw the footage recoreded to my harddrive. So minus 2 stars (Posted on 6/29/15)

I hooked up 2 C1s and they're very good cameras. For most applications you don't even need a PTZ. It is powered by USB so you cam run the cable behind the wall safely. Two big concerns.
1. The LED lights are visible at midnight. They have a soft red glow. Think twice before using this in a toddlers room. It looks like a very scary eye. This is also true with the 9821.
2. The firmware is lacking in the viewing options department. There is no way to limit certain users by time. for instance, if I want to restrict my nanny from viewing the camera during the day, I can't set a
Days and times where her account is active. I have to limit her access to work only on our local wifi. It would be nice if she could use her phone 4G as a back up. My Cisco Linksys cams have day and time controls. (Posted on 6/18/15)

I kind of like this and plan on seeing where this model goes as Foscam develops new items. I am not sure of the USB power cord as to the reason for it, unless it can be used as a camera for a computer. I did find I had trouble with setting up the remote access. I found that with port forwarding, you have to forward the IP address and for the same IP address add port 554. Then everything works. That isn't mentioned in the instructions that come with it. I gave it 4 stars because of that omission. The camera itself is everything advertised, I like the wide field of view it has without the fisheye distortion one would think. The image is bright and clear. Definitely a winner here. Again, As Foscam phases out some of its non-PTZ cameras, I am eager to see what is next. (Posted on 6/12/15)

Setup was difficult for this reason - the firmware on the camera does not support WiFi password with spaces or special characters. I was unable to join my WiFi network (WPA2) which has spaces and special characters. Once I set up a separate WiFi network SSID with no spaces, the camera connected w no issues. If this was fixed, I would have given it 5 stars for quality. (Posted on 5/7/15)
