Incredibly bad documentation

It doesn't matter that all the documentation was written by someone who speaks English as a second language. I've gotten used to that and the fact that nobody reads anything anymore. The REAL problems are: 1) The quick setup guide is only useful if you're adding this camera to a bunch of others. 2) There is no link to a detailed manual specifically for this camera (G4) 3) There is no link on the website for the G4 camera, only FP19900P.4) The manual you can finally get does not distinguishโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Some bugs

This camera is amazing! Easy use of FTP storage.

I assembled the camera fairly quickly, although I had to cut off two screw heads which made assembly difficult - cheap metal. Nothing special because I have tons of different screws that did the job. The software is great. Strictly follow the instructions. To give a quick overview: 1) Connect the camera to a router or switch via Ethernet. If you use Wi-Fi, set it up later. 2) Download the hardware search tool software from Foscam website. 3) Scan the device with the software. This will give you

Pros
  • The best
Cons
  • Negative impression

A bit difficult to install and limited Web Viewer

I installed and worked to my satisfaction after several visits to different pages on the Foscam website. I had to install over WIFI as I didn't have any ethernet ports available for a wireless internet connection. I used my Android phone to download the Foscam app and followed the steps to add the camera via WIFI. The app requires you to create a Foscam account (free) and then walks you through the steps to add your camera. After that I wanted to view the camera in my PC's web browser, but Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Almost never

I ordered this camera after returning 3 other Foscam FI9900P cameras because they either didn't work or had problems with the remote connection and motion detection. I was pleasantly surprised that the camera was recognized immediately and I didn't have any trouble connecting remotely like I've had with my previous Foscams. After making sure everything was set up and working properly, I stripped the camera and installed it outdoors in the same spot my previous FI9900P was installed. Everythingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Frequency

UPDATE - Best cameras for the money and easy setup

This review was updated on April 22, 2021 - When I read that the new Foscam cameras support Alexa I've wanted this G2 model since my previous model , which I installed in May 2017, has proven to be very good. G2 did it 2 years before the elements and the ants destroyed it. I ordered a new one and was happy to see the app was updated and installing and adding the new G2 was much easier this time. You scan the QR code on the camera with the phone app when you are connected to the same Wi-Fiโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No performance
