Bang for the bucks,
Received the cameras 2 days after order was placed. I followed the instructions on Foscam website and had all installations completed within 1. Both viewing it on my home network and over the internet.
Videos are clear! Controlling the camera remotely is awesome and works flawlessly so far. The ability to hear sound and also send audio is terrific. I bought it to use my baby monitor and it seems to be excellent. Of cause it is less than 24 hours that I have had them but I don’t see it going bad. I am still playing with the motion detector because I set the sensitivity at 10, and it captured so many videos. I will play with that later.
If anything goes wrong, I will make an update to the review. I plan to get 2 more, but for outdoors.

Five-Star Product, One-Star Support,
The Foscam F18910W is an very good IP camera at a good price. Once setup and functioning, it is easy to operate and very effectively allows me to monitor my home while traveling. However, unless you’re knowledgeable about IP’s, how to establish a website, proxies, etc. you will need to allow a substantial amount of time to educate yourself or find a friend with the necessary understanding and get them to help you set it up. There was effectively no technical support available to me from Foscam despite my various efforts. First thing you’re told in a recorded message when you call them is that if you purchased the camera from Amazon or another retailer rather than directly from them, they will not help you unless you pay them and let them remotely control your computer. They did indicate that you could email a specific question to them for assistance, and I did try that but never heard back from them. Then after trying to follow the somewhat incomplete instructions that came with the camera, I decided I would pay their fee, but was never able to reach a human in order to do that. Ultimately, I got help from a friend’s son who does this sort of work for a living and who guided me through the rest of the setup process.

Foscam FI8910W two-pack,
I placed my order on Saturday and it was on my doorstep Monday afternoon. It took me about 2 hours to figure out the installation. I’m not a computer expert. But I can read instructions. Have your router user manual handy and refer to Foscam.us website for additional setup instructions. It’s all there. You just need to poke around for the answers.
If you’re planning on mounting the camera on a ceiling or high up on a wall…keep in mind the camera requires power…therefore you’ll need a wall outlet near your mounting point. The camera does not run on batteries.
I also downloaded the $4.99 Foscam Pro Surveillance app for my iPhone…great app!! Takes about 2 minutes to set it up.
All in all, I’m very pleased with my purchase and would certainly recommend it.
