It's supposed to show up? Do you mean it's not showing up?

Perhaps it has died.
What shows on the LAN port LEDs if anything? Static, flashing etc.

I'm guessing that you're not going to appreciate this too much, but, IMO, if it's a Foscam problems are not "why why why" but rather "when when when." You will have a much better experience IMO if you ditch the Foscam and move onto Dahua or Hikvision products. This is the only help I have to offer you browser.

A foscam was my first wired camera. It was outdoors but under a roof - no rain, direct sun. It died in 4 months and I threw it right in the trash. Replaced it with a small hikvision bullet. Picture was way better and going strong for over a year.
Dug up this picture. Of course foscams are probably smaller now vs 2013 models, but I was amazed at the size difference.

Believe it or not Home Depot actually sells a tool that will fix this problem for $30... As others already stated, FOScam's aren't worth any price - even free.. IMO of course. Anyways here is the tool you'll need to fix that problem you're having.

That would be throwing good money after bad Zero. My recommendation would be to use one of these instead...

Hi
Apexis cameras are worse than foscam, myself and my friend bought 7 of their newest model (which is branded Sumpple and uses Sumpple app) and out of 7 only one remains working after 6 months.
They are the worst cameras we have ever bought and the guy selling them from apexis hounded us day and night on skype for the sale, after a couple of weeks when problems started he said stop contacting me I dont work for apexis anymore, but then a day later he was messaging another friend of mine selling Apexis cameras.
Apexis and Sumpple = avoid like the plague

And I'm incompetent, apparently. I have no idea what that image is. I probably spaced out and uploaded the wrong image just about the time Mrs. Q™ started yelling at me.
