Foscam 5MP Indoor WiFi Surveillance Camera

Very easy to setup and they work great! I already had the foscam app for my other cameras, so all I had to do was click the plus, scan the qr code, click next since my wifi info was prefilled, then hold my phone up to the camera to show it the qr code for the wifi. Easiest setup ever. I love the PTZ so I can look around and see where my dogs are. The resolution seems great. I don't think my eyes could even tell if it was improved. We added a sd card to ours and we do continuous record which works great. We never have issues with running out of storage with the 512GB card.

As per Foscam usual: Reset... Then connection to the network at the first attempt. Everything works as promised. The only gripe I've got this time is, that the USB power supply doesn't have a UK plug and that the cable is nowhere nearly as long as the one from the same camera I ordered in Germany a few weeks back. The price is about the same, though. So why the short cable?

I bought this gem of a camera (Foscam R5) as an addition to four other Foscams I’ve been using for several years. The high quality of vision and features on the R5 (Micro SD slot/pan-tilting panoramic /two-way speaker/night vision/ remote alarm) makes me ask the question: “Why would anyone with a modem who leaves their house NOT want this camera for under $30.00? (I would buy this R5 Foscam just to watch myself as a reminder to keep on my diet! 😊) The installation should take less than two minutes. It’s very easy and you’re guided through each step. BEYOND exceptional customer service: A short synopsis… I ran into an issue that was MY fault, not Foscams’. I sent a series of five emails to customer service. Each email was personally answered within the hour by Mandy in customer service. (Note: I’m a night owl, so there is a time difference of about 13 hours ahead for CST.) Each email from Mandy was highly courteous, personable, explained every aspect of the R5 camera and the steps of installation. I finally noticed (through Mandy’s patience) I was entering my modem key incorrectly. Duh.) A great value, a wonderful camera and par excellence in customer service. One couldn’t ask for more. Note: Camera lens is tilted up to show Micro SD Slot and Reset button.

It came with very short usb cable and US plug. No warning, no information. What is the point? I don't know if it works - I returned it

I had this camera for about two weeks, and it's been a great addition to my home security system. I wanted to add another camera to use as a pet cam to keep an eye on my cat while I'm out. The Foscam 5MP Wi-Fi Pet Cam was a great addition. It's very dependable, and the image is amazing! Clear during the day and at night. It's compact and the response rate to access it on my phone is immediate and faster than other competitor cams I've used in the past. The security camera is extremely easy to use and is a simple plug and play setup. Connect it to the Foscam app and you're good! I also found it very convenient on the multiple ways you can record live footage. You can use their cloud storage, a micro-SD card, record on your phone or download their pc application to set up as a DVR on your pc. I tried all four, and all are very dependable and clear. Another feature that I like is being able to pan/tilt and zoom the camera from my phone. This is very nice if you have to adjust your camera to focus on a particular event or animal. They also have AI detection when paired with their cloud storage which allows you to identify known/unknown people or objects. I also own an Echo show and it automatically integrated with my Show. All I have to say, Alexa, Show "Laundry Room" and it displays quickly. So overall, great security/pet camera, easy setup process and great video quality!! Very happy with this purchase!! Another great product from Foscam!
