Foscam FI8918W WirelessWired Pan And Tilt IP Camera with 8 Meter Night Vision and 3.6mm Lens (67 Viewing Angle) - White 2 Pack

These cameras allow one to pan and tilt with access to the video through a browser, 3rd party apps like VLC, Android and iOS. The video can be accessed real time outside your network and you control the camera remotely as well. Applications like VLC will allow you to record images. The image quality is pretty good - night vision is fairly well done. The value proposition of these cameras is exceptional. I could not be happier with the functionality.Downside - I guess it would be setup. This is not a plug and play device. If you are a novice to computers, you will have some trouble setting up remote access (most likely). It's not rocket science - I would say it only requires moderate computer experience. I would consider myself moderately savvy - including unboxing, reading and setting up; the total time to get two cameras up and running with remote access was ~ 30 minutes.Here's what doing something like that entails: Hard connect the camera to the router via Ethernet. Use the provided Camera Tool to identify the IP address of the camera. Enter that address into a browser and access the camera menu. Modify Wireless settings to connect to your home network. This will get the camera working on your home network. You are done with the first step.Now to get it working outside your network - that's where it get's more complicated. For Macs: To do this you have to find out some information from your router: Router IP (obtained through ipscan), subnet mask,DNS server, DHCP range. You then decide on a new static IP that is just outside the DHCP range and enter it into the Basic Network settings (after de-selecting "Obtain IP from DHCP Server"). Then enter the Subnet Mask, Gateway (which is the router IP), DNS server and HTTP Port (Typically 80). After that's done, you have to go to your router and set up port forwarding. You set up a unique port that forwards to your camera's new static IP. When that's done, you can enter your home ip (obtained through "what's my ip" on google) and the port (ie http://11.11.111.111:8901). This address can then be used in any number of third party apps to access the cameras outside your home.I did all this on a Mac. If anything, PC might be easier to set up. Conceptually, the steps are the same.When I write it out, it sounds more complicated than it really is. There are tons of forum posts and guides out there which guide you through it. As I mentioned, if you are just modestly savvy with computers, it's not that hard to figure out. At the end of the day, these are really cool cameras with tons of functionality at a great price. Very happy so far.

Gets one star for: The IR Cut filter. Standard nightvision tends to make things blurry and drastically reduces color down to almost black and white. The IR Cut filter on these Foscam cameras boosts the dark areas with IR, which reduces the color in those areas, but keeps the crispness and in areas still lit by standard light, the color remains remarkably vivid. One of the cameras faces a window, and at night, the room interior is black and white as lit by the IR illumination. But the lawn outside the window lit by an outside light remains amazingly verdant.Gets one star for: Image quality . I have two other stationary cameras (D-Link brand, no pan/tilt), one standard, one night vision. And the Foscam units outperform them both in daylight, in complete darkness(total IR illumination), and in combination lighting with the automatic IR Cut filter. And both stationary cameras cost $100-130.Gets one star for: Economy. The plethora of features that really matter: Pan/Tilt, wired ethernet, wireless ethernet, IR Cut, ability to return to preset coordinates after power cycle, and more.Loses one star for: Web interface. It's there, but there's one way in for Internet Explorer using Active X, and one way in for other browsers. Segregating the login process overcomplicates things for too little payoff. Foscam should have simplified the design so that it works the same for everybody regardless of browser, regardless of platform. I'm sure this duality of programming is responsible for some of the difficulties noted below.Loses one star for: Technical Difficulties. After having some trouble with the interface on Safari in OS X, I switched over to Internet Explorer on Windows XP and tried both the Active X and the Server Push methods of logging in. Both methods failed to allow me full control of the Pan/Tilt functions from within the web interface. Pan/tilt functions were only properly accessible through third-party software. Also, sometimes the web based interface for the camera setup would load excruciatingly slowly even when a wired connection was made.Overall: 3 to 3.5 stars. The cameras are great where it really counts: image quality, economy, features, and reliability(cameras have been up and running for about a month), but certain issues may cause frustration for some users.One potential issue with an unknown origin: Before I set up the feature that allows the camera to return to a preset location, I noticed(by virtue of the field of view having gone off-target) that both cameras were randomly powercycling about once or twice per day. Since the building these cameras are in is old, it could be a possible issue with the wiring, or it may be a feature of the cameras to prevent lockup of the onboard software that controls the cameras and serves the video feed across the network. Can't say for sure, but such an issue could be a deal-breaker for some buyers.

I'll keep this simple. I purchased the product to use as a nursey room monitor - sound, IR, PTZ and video. And inexpensive to boot! Long story short - I wasn't able to get the whole thing running - no sound. Hours of effort and still no sound. I had attempted to return the cameras becuase it ultimately did not live up to the billing. Overall some great features, but it doesn't quite get all the way there.Pros: Quick physical install, prompt delivery, good video quality for the price, nice software package.Cons: High failure rate of the product (not just mine), minimal customer service/support from the mfg to troubleshoot problems, sadly if you work hard to make it work you might just end up outside the return window so you eat the cost.Summary: I won't buy Foscam products again, without seeing mutlitudes of recent 5 star ratings. I knew I was getting a product that required some tech savvy, but nothing I can do about defects.

pour le moment rien a dire, fonctionne correctement avec un serveur no ipet sur Samsung s4 , qualité d image correcte pour ce produit
