This camera works great for me. I use it with Foscam VMS to record to a hard drive on Windows 11. I like the light and sound it can produce. I use it to scare away the deer that get too close and eat our plants. Picture quality is great. Not real expensive. Was easy to set up. Motion detection records to a hard drive and you can adjust the sensitivity and block out areas that always move like trees and bushes.

The media could not be loaded. Summary: This camera is a feature rich camera which will satisfy just about all your needs. Day time video is perfect, and night vision is amazing! If you are looking for a great replacement of those underwhelming surveillance cameras that lack features then give this one a try.Hardware: This camera is definitely built to last. The material feels of high quality and should do well in any condition. It's got a water seal underneath the camera where the trap door to plug your SD card slot goes and where the speaker is attached. Gone are the days of the cheap look and feel, this camera looks professional grade in appearance and the wifi is fast!Installation: This camerea is easy to install using the mobile app. Only hang up I had was after installing it to view the surveillance videos. You need a special file converter if you are not using 3rd party tools like a synology nas app to manage the camera. Foscam support was phenomenal in getting back to me with the tool and I was able to view the videos. The tool is easy to use to do large bactch of files so it may require a few extra clicks to convert it. If you got a 3rd party tool, then your videos are already in a viewable format.Software: I use the Foscams VMS software and it makes it a cake walk to manage all their products.Final Word: This version of the camera will do online updates instead of having you go download a file to decompress it in order to load it. I love Foscam and their products! So easy to use. Such great tech support staff. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

Background: I have owned the following surveillance camera brands: Reolink, Kasa, Foscam, Zmodo and Wansview. I'm a photographer and greatly care about image quality.***Disclaimer: I was contacted by Foscam test and review this camera, I was reimbursed for the purchase of the camera. In no way was I directed to add bias to my review. This is my second camera review for them.Camera: The camera was boxed in a nice secure package, lots of foam around it. At this price point, I was surprised to find that the camera housing is made out of metal! Comparable cameras made by other companies are made out of plastic and not ready for harsh weather conditions. It also has an optional ethernet port which is a must if you want a quick high quality connection.Set up: Connecting the camera to Wifi this time around was a much quicker and easier. I ran into trouble with a previous model. However it seems as though Foscam has fixed that issue. I used the QR code method.Image Quality: The image quality is very good, its not oversaturated and the image is very sharp. The frame rate is much better than some other brands cameras at the same price point. I'm very pleased with the FOV (Field of View) I can get everything I want to see in the image. Infrared works very well at night.Cons: The ethernet port doesn't have a full cap on it so I had to tape it up. I cant find on the app how to use the spotlight.Tips: When installing make sure you attach the antenna and remove the protective light film before you mount the camera otherwise you will have to do it on a ladder.Overall: If you are looking for an inexpensive camera that has a metal housing, great image quality, and quick set up then this is the camera for you. I like it so much, I'm buying another.
