Nice camera, had some minor set-up issues Review by Philip
Quality Price I purchased this product two weeks ago. The first part of the set-up went well. I downloaded the free Foscam Viewer app. I scanned the code on the bottom of the cam. I was able to see and control the camera with the ethernet cable connected. I don't have a WPS compatible router. The set-up guide referred me to the manual for wireless set-up. It seemed like this part of the manual was copied from the old manual set-ups for the non-plug and play models. Instead, I went back to the Foscam Viewer app. It is supposed to be able to scan for wireless networks. That didn't detect anything, but it allowed me to enter my network information manually. That worked fine. You will need to know your ssid, encryption type, and key. I had one issue with the computer client software. I had a little trouble understanding the correct procedure for changing username and password. I never knew if it accepted my changes until I exited the program and re-entered. I only subtracted one star for the few small issues I had. Perhaps some of it was just me. I got past all of it without calling support. The image quality is excellent. Overall, I am pleased with the performance of this product. You can set it up for motion detection and email alerts. I used the optional 7pc. mount to attach the camera to my ceiling. I used the optional 10 ft. DC power extension cable to reach an outlet already mounted in the attic for an outdoor security cam. Using my smartphone, I can scan the living room, look down the hallway, and see into my kitchen towards the range and microwave. I would love to see a plug and play outdoor cam that is compatible with the same app and software. (Posted on 3/15/14)
