Review on 📷 Foscam FI8918W Wireless/Wired Pan & Tilt IP/Network Camera: Night Vision, 3.6mm Lens, and 67° Viewing Angle by Brendan Thorpe

Love love love these cameras I started with 2 and now have 4 Firstly the software worked with my MacBook (limited) and my Sony laptop (more to). allowed me to add other cameras etc) so it works on my laptops as well as PCs and Mac OS. Second, buy the Foscam app for your iPhone and iPad, it costs $5.99 and $6.99 respectively. Now the most important thing is to see your home while you're out. You need to go to "Device Management", press Upnp and check this box. This will give you the web address, which is also at the bottom of the Foscam camera. , then you can view your home from anywhere using the Foscam app or you can enter your camera's web address and view it via the Foscam website. If you add all devices, you can view them from one address. It's free for 3 years and after that it's $8/month for up to 4 cameras, so it's a great deal. If you add more cameras you need to assign a different port, I saved them in order, port 80, 81 etc. To make your camera wireless you need to enter the camera and go to wireless, scan and networks will pull up , select your network and log in, I shared, since all my electronic devices are on a common secure website. Yes, I called tech support to find out how easy it is to click upnp to see my home form when I'm not at home. This should have been noted in the instructions and when I emailed them they didn't respond properly, it got too technical and when I called it was easy. So save yourself the headache and follow what I wrote although the tech support was great and fast it was a different country and I had trouble understanding it and I let it enter my Sony laptop and see , how he makes a camera. and I did the rest. In the app you need to enter your address in the "Remote Address" field, it starts with dg and can be seen again on the website or at the bottom of the camera that is displayed outside your home. Local Address, click Search and your home network will be brought up. Then simply click on the camera you are adding and then manually enter the remote address below this area.
