I have a similar problem. User ID and password error. Ran the recovery image Foscam sent me. The IR lights come on during recovery process. After recovery rebooted the camera and used Foscam VMS to try to connect, still had old static IP and User ID and password error. Camera did not reset to...

Thank you !

Yeah, these types of cameras are not like Nest or Foscam LOL. See my links in Post #4 that includes "starting points", but yes it is just trial and error at some point. Every field of view and lighting situation is different. Even two identical cameras set up side by side can have different...

Thank you for all the help! Coming from a Nest cam background it’s a little different here. I have used IP cams in the past too (Foscam) but that was years ago. I found this NVR for cheap , but not sure if it’s any good for the camera in question that Flintsone suggested ...

...difficulty registering some of the cameras on the network. The cameras are 5Mp, Sony sensor, POE units from "AliExpress" and show up as "Foscam - F186xx/98xx compatible" when interrogated in BI v5. Each camera was easily and successfully set up via web page (Firefox) and MAC addresses noted...

...cameras, there are more places but want to hear please first what do you recommends for here, This is "start" of the yard (where you can see 1 FOSCAM camera there, in the left corner) There will be 1 camera (replace the Foscam) This is the entrance of the house, currently have Hikvison...

Welcome @Chaoscript I see you already got some top notch advice .. "I have a Hikvision NVR model DS-7608NI-E2/8P " basic rules : 1) if going NVR based solution : Match the OEMs and spec / tech level with the Cameras and NVRs .. ( NVRs have resolution, bandwidth, Smart Features / AI features...

Hi, I would love to hear your opinion about outdoor security cameras, At the moment there are 3 cameras, 1 old FOSCAM, and 2 more Hikvision, In addition, I have a Hikvision NVR model DS-7608NI-E2/8P. The cameras and NVR are relatively old and support the old compress H.264, today if I'm not...

That is strange. I can see it not working in BI. The Foscam stuff is the default for BI when it can't find anything. But the camera GUI like you show above should work. The only thing I can think of is maybe this camera is even more sensitive to browsers than Dahua LOL - try Internet...

Buy better cameras. Foscam is bottom of the barrel.

Be aware that Foscam's tech support absurdly will not provide any information about undocumented CGI commands unless you fill out a SDK application and a non-disclosure agreement. They flatly refused to answer even the most basic of questions regarding activating camera lights via HTTP command...

...Enable = 1 is enable and enable = 0 is disable These commands are not included in any publicly available Foscam docmentation. Foscam is actually requiring a developer SDK application and non-disclosure agreement be filled out before providing them.

...by not providing a web interface. The cameras does support the CGI commands but the documented commands are actually somewhat limited. Foscam leaves a lot out. Instead of just responding to a request for information regarding a couple of commands that are missing, Foscam wants an SDK...

...network. I have a friend that falls under this "I just want to plug it in and scan a code and it works" mindset. Many years ago she bought a Foscam wifi camera to monitor her front door. She plugged it in and pointed it out a 2nd story window and downloaded the Foscam app and scanned the QR...

I saw that someone posted on another forum (Home Assistant) that in the newest models of Foscam cameras (specifically the SD4) the Web settings interface has been replaced by Foscam VMS. Not a real big deal since the old web interface was pretty problematic for the older models. But it's...

Has anyone used OWLR here? does it work better than DMSS?

You might give OWLR a try, I've heard some good things. Too bad that BabyMonitor with PTZ for iOS by the creator of Tiny Cam disappeared from the Apple Store; lots of disappointed folks. But even Tiny Cam for Android doesn't seem to be supported any more either. It's creator @alexvas hasn't...

We can assure you that leaving the cameras on default does not get the best performance from them, especially at night. Do not be be fooled with a static image. It is getting clean captures of objects in motion that we are after. And that is the mistake most make is being impressed with the...

I've just started migrating from Foscam cameras to EmpireTech cameras. It took me a bit to do the first cam but I've got two up and running now on a test bench. Once winter's done I'll be mounting them outside and connecting them to BlueIris. I've read the cliff notes but there's a lot of...

...PC app or thru Blue Iris, sound resumes. Then eventually I lose sound again. All my other cameras are Dahua, Amcrest and still have a couple Foscam. None of them have this issue. Im not using an SD card in either Reolink doorbell or PTZ camera. Im on BI 5 v.5.8.7.11 x64 (3/2/24). I just...

...cameras in various locations of the house to keep an eye on the place and have eyes in case of a problem. To do this, I have used a few older Foscam Wifi cameras but some are not working well anymore. I am looking for a recommendation for Wifi, non mountable (left on a counter or table)...

...has cameras that are 4MP on the 1/1.8" sensor, but most prefer the 5442 performance along with the GUI. I have both and prefer the 5442. Foscam...forget about it LOL. You could try Axis, but be prepared to open up your wallet. Most find the 5442 to be the overall best camera in terms of...

So everyone is mentioning Dehua, especially the 5442. Are there any others from Hikvision, Amcrest, Foscam, etc. that perform similarly, so probably have a big sensor, some decent chip and firmware, IR light, etc?

So from what I understand, the only way is to use VMS, foscam's windows app to change the advanced settings. VMS is ancient and clunky. I have 2 R2's left that I remember changing through the browser back in the day, but my newer R5's (7 of them) show a message saying only the android or...

I have several R2's and R5's. I'm trying to reduce the resolution so there will be less traffic on my Wi-Fi. Whatever I do, when I change the settings in VMS and hit apply, it says success. When I open the settings again, they are back to what they were originally. I'm at a loss. Sent from my...

Hello, I have an existing installation with an nvr + 4 ip cams, the brand is novodio with seems to be a rebrand of foscam for the French market for some reason. I couldn't find much documentation or even thread of people talking about those ip cam. My wish is to move away from the nvr...

I keep buying Foscams. I don't know why. I'm also a BI user. So badly hooked on the Blue Iris that I now pay yearly. It's the best! Foscam? I don't know why. I've dabbled with BI while keeping the Router webpage open on the side at the same time. (Probably seen things I shouldn't have seen)...
