I use different brands of secruity cameras and Foscam does not disappoint. Very rich image
Software setup and configuration was very straightforward. A little fiddly with the practicalities of fitting to the outside of the house. Now it is working the motion detection is good and the image quality clear.
Does exactly what I was expecting. A nice feature is that you can control how bright the security light is. Useful if you don’t want to blind the neighbours.
Great quality camera with wide range of vision both day and night. Very easy install including wifi setup and electrical wiring. Instructions are clear and all the parts you need come with the flood light camera.
Was debating a 3 versus a 4. But, I asked – So, does the camera work? Yes. As it should, it records, displays well in its own app, and also is a capable ONVIF camera. So a 4 it gets.
That being said, some issues do present themselves.
PROS:
crisp picture
easy setup
good lighting
decent features
night vision is good
works as an ONVIF with QNAP QVR Pro
Issues:
So, first, the flood light activation via motion is a fairly limited range. I can walk right under it in the dark, and the lights don’t go on all the time. And the distance they activate from is fairly short as well.
Second, I have it connected to a QNAP. Setting up on a QNAP, you have to set it as a Foscam R2M as the model not the FLC model it actually is. While it works as R2M, it would not when using the FLC profile – the login username and password would not let you access the camera. This is overall a bit minor, but it took me a frustrating web search to find the instructions that actually reveal this little fact.
It is not a TPZ – I know. But, I would have expected the viewing angle to be wider in this case. It is OK, but somewhat narrow for a driveway floodlight camera. The screw lock to tighten the camera to stay in place is also a little weak – I can see it not staying fixed over time and likely will need to be re-adjusted.
Installation was ok, but the thick black ethernet connection bulb does not fit well in a shallow box. This caused the camera to not get completely flush against the outside gang box, and therefore I had to silicon around it to make sure water doesn’t get in there.
The app leaves much to be desired in terms of clarity. It has plenty of settings and such, but nothing is explained or very intuitive.
The Foscam outdoor lights are easy to install and Foscam support always returns a response! They even checked up on me 🙂
I added extra lighting in my backyard as I need to see at least 40ft.
Take pictures of the QR codes prior to hanging as this will reduce climbing up a ladder.
Restart when u change the password of ur WI-FI.
Human Motion Detection is excellent!
I have been trying this new flood light camera. The picture quality is better than I have seen before. Especially the night vision. The night vision has a good amount of distance for clarity. Motion is keeps you on top of things moving around. The audio is great accept on windy days. It works good for when you need to talk to someone. The siren is good and loud. I’m thinking about adding a second one.
I wanted a floodlight camera with built in storage, as I refuse to pay for cloud storage.
Tried a couple of different products(Annke, good but no night vision, Ezviz, total waste of time, would get up in the morning to hundreds of alerts and there would be nothing there, even the customer service admitted the motion detection is based on light change not movement so a bush or tree moving slightly will set it off).
The Foscam has far superior video quality and plenty of adjustment settings. The only things that are slightly annoying are: When set to the highest sensitivity for human detection it will be set of by a car going past at night. Although, as it turns out the medium setting is enough to cover the front of my house, also you can only adjust the detection area using straight lines(i.e square or rectangle) this would be more useful if you could adjust at angles also.
On the whole the best floodlight camera I have had and got it at the very good price, will be buying another for the back of the house. App is easy to use also
The camera in this unit is very high quality featuring QHD technology. QHD means Quad High Definition which means 4 X the resolution of standard HD video. The motion sensor is adjustable for sensitivity and the spotlight has adjustable brightness which keeps your neighbors happy and lets you have the light as bright as you need. The lights cover an area which is better than conventional spotlights. Also you can go into settings and adjust the angle and area that the spotlight covers in regards to being activated by motion. I highly recommend this product and am excited to see the new products that Foscam develops after this one. I own 6 of their cameras now and all are good quality and their customer service is excellent! Also please check out their cloud storage products so you can record, save and watch videos that your camera takes whenever needed. They also have features that allow you to determine what types of images will be detected on the camera. Examples are animals, people, motion, etc check it out at http://www.Foscam.com
Die Kamera macht ein sehr gutes Bild. Die Lampen sind extrem Hell, daher nicht dafr geeignet fr Nachbarn, die im Lichtbereich sind. Das Einrichten ging recht einfach mit der Android App und der Windows Software – leider braucht die immer Adminrechte (ich frag mich nur wozu?). Ganz toll ist die durchdachte Hardware. Frs Einrichten ist gleich ein Kabel mit Stecker dran. Wenn ums instllieren geht wird das entfernt. Zum Festschrauben der Kabel ist sogar ein Haken vorgesehen, mit dem man die Kam am Installatiosngehuse einhakt, so hat man die Hnde frei. Die Bedienung der Kam ist nicht einfach und das Regel der Helligkeit ging auch nicht. Wenn das ginge wre die volle 5 Sterne wert…
Easy to install, a lot of setting for fine tuning and alarming
This is an excellent floodlight camera.
The two spot lights are very bright and can be moved independently. The camera and PIR sensor can also be moved so you can be sure to get the perfect angle for the camera and lights.
The app is easy to download and set up so in only a few minutes you can be up and running. The camera comes pre installed with a UK plug and very easy connectors so you can disconnect the plug if you wish to hard wire it.
The camera is excellent quality and you get a superb image in both day and night scenarios. You can set the motion sensitivity to a level you prefer and and you can even insert a Micro SD card to store your recordings.
It’s great that this also has two way audio so you can shout at anyone who is not meant to be in the garden.
You can connect this to WiFi or Ethernet so you are covered for both connection options.
Overall I have been delighted by this camera and my property is now much more secure with this in place. We have two french bulldogs and we have had problems with people trying to steal them so we set this camera up in our rear garden so we can at least capture anyone who enters the garden on camera.
Bought this to keep an eye on our vehicles that we can’t see because they are around the side of the house. Set up was easy. Installing it was easy because it replaced an old floodlight.
Getting to know my way around the foscam app was a little difficult but a month later I understand it well. The app could be a bit more user friendly.
Would really like to see an explanation of what each function, etc. in the app means rather than having to refer to the online/downloaded manual.
Picture quality is nice and coverage is wide. Something doesn’t seem right about the microphone in the camera. It makes a bunch of wierd sounds that make it hard to hear anything else. I keep sensetivity on low and it still detects every car that goes by at about 30 ft away even when it’s set to only detect people. I suppose it’s not wrong since their are people in cars.
Overall it does what I need it to do.
Customer service is excellent. Nora with customer service has been very helpful.
Night vision works as stated with clear picture night and day.
The cameras are easy to setup. Some of the features did not work as expected. I contacted support and Nora Chau took this request back to their team. Within a week they had written a new firmware to address my concerns. I don’t think I’ve ever had a company get on a request that quickly. Wonderful support!
Da ich bereits eine Foscam mit positiven Erfahrungen habe, habe ich mich fr diese Kamera + Flutlicht entschieden und der erste Eindruck passt. Die erste Inbetriebnahme noch im Haus war einfach. Die Auflsung ist super und auch die Helligkeit sollte mehr als ausreichen. Neu fr mich war dabei dass mich eine Kamera anspricht. 🙂
Wenn sie installiert ist, kommt noch einmal ein Update. Ich hoffe es bleibt positiv.
Installation was pretty easy on this camera. From start to finish was about 30 minutes including adding the camera to my blue iris server. The motion detection for the lights works well. Right after I set the camera up a cat walked across my driveway and the lights turned on. The lights are brighter than the floodlight I replaced. My major concern for later on down the road is the lights are not replaceable.
The night vision great. I had perched a different brand from a club warehouse and returned it 2 days after the installation night vision was black and white poor quality. Also customer service at foscam is awesome.
I have 4 of these cameras 2 inside and 2 outside they are very easy to setup and maintain. The video quality is great provides a nice clear picture. I would absolutely recommend these cameras to anyone.
The purpose I bought this camera was that some people walk their and the dog poops with cleaning up the poop. It is so annoying for this kind of behaviour that I decided to buy one camera facing the space of the lawn. After some time of monitoring, I got it! It was so clear that it showed the guy who walked the dog which pooped on my lawn. Good stuff!
I have been using Foscam for about 10 years because of their quality, flexibility and price.
This floodlight camera is amazing, especially for their first attempt at one.
The build quality is excellent as usual.
It has all the flexibility I love from Foscam… stream access via whatever camera software you prefer, E-mail alerts and your choice of FTP uploading or recording to a microSD card (sold separately) and so many more options you can tweak.
I am also into home automation and their cameras have programming APIs you can use to automate things. Just search the Internet or ask support for the documentation. This camera also lets you control the lights and siren.
The price is so much more reasonable than those other brands, and those lock you into their cloud services. Foscam gives you the choice to record locally (which I recommend).
If you are comfortable with basic electrical work, hooking this up was as easy as replacing a light switch.
The lights are bright and light up most of my yard, probably about a 35ft x 20ft area (the light is mounted about 8 ft above the ground).
The motion detection works well for the lights and the camera alerts.
I don’t know if the siren is that useful, but I know they had to include it since most competitors have it also. Personally, I think it may be too annoying to keep that feature on for motion detection, but I could see possibly using it with home automation routinez, like when an intrusion is detected or other scenarios.
Foscam’s software has also been improving, so it is good to see them updating the mobile app and Windows software often.
The picture quality is great (not quite as good as their 2K POE cameras in my opinion, but very close). The night vision is excellent.
Overall, I am very happy with this purchase!
The floodlights are incredibly bright, so much so that I set my brightness to just 50% and this still gives off sufficient light for my driveway. This can be easily adjusted.
The 2K resolution results in impressive picture clarity and the colour night vision works better than any camera I’ve tested previously, overall, I’m incredibly impressed!
I needed to replace a floodlight which had been in place since buying our house and thought about what upgrades i could do at the same time, this seems to be the best thing you can do without wiring cameras throughout the house.
It’s a simple setup, just wire it straight up to where the floodlight was previously with the same wiring and then connect to it via the app to set it up, once done you then have a camera all set up that lights up anyone coming near the property at all times of day.
The quality is good enough to be able to see faces and car regs which is all you really need and the light is strong enough to light anyone up walking past to. It also makes them aware that the light is there and that they’re being watched…just in case.
It’s easy to maneuver and had someone install it. Great picture
I found a few things I didn’t like: The camera periodically loses wifi connectivity even though it is outside of one wall and about 80′ from the router. I had to add a wifi extender to correct the problem. Another thing is that the camera doesn’t swivel well, so it’s difficult to get the exact viewing area. The software program, Foscam VMS, isn’t bad but can use some improvements. When replaying my videos from the SD card, I couldn’t tell at what time the motion alerts were recorded. There are some code numbers in the side bar but the time is completely omitted. This is frustrating when I wanted to take a quick look at an event from a specific time. One has to wade through a collection of recordings and check the date stamps on the video to locate the exact one. I really don’t like the pop up on my phone that constantly wants me to purchase their cloud program. it’s very annoying and no way to shut it down. I thought after the free trial period it would disappear. Sadly, when I reset the camera, it started all over.
I had some questions for the Foscam tech support. They responded to my emails within a day and did their best to be helpful. If there is a problem, one should expect to be patient because there will be a response, just not immediate. This seems to be the norm for most companies these days. I have slowly been adding different Foscam cameras to my surveillance system. I run both Foscam and Amcrest. They both have some different quirks and perks, but so far I’m satisfied with both companies.
I have three different Foscam cameras, and I will say that this unit, with its automatic floodlights is one of the best I have seen. The camera produces a good image, and the light acts as a first deterrent to unwanted visitors. One of the best things is being able to see who is at the door prior to opening it, by taking a quick look at the image on my phone. The image is pretty clear, and definitely a step up from my original Foscam cameras. There is a fairly good wide angle for the image as well.
Finally, no transformer to hide. I just connected red, white, and green.
Software is good, too. You can control the floodlight in the app.
Ensure you have a pic of the upc code on the camera before mounting. You may need it to configure the camera
The Foscam floodlight security camera is a great device for improving home security. The device is very easy to install, has motion detection that activates the floodlights and has a built in 2K camera that has colour night vision and two way audio. The device is great and easy to setup, simply run through the setup process on your smart phone app and before you know you can view the camera feed in real time, access archive footage and adjust settings on the device.
The light is also very bright and you can select the brightness of the light. The camera also has a 110db alarm built in thats great for scaring away would be intruders. Fantastic device at a fair price.
Unpacked, installed and working in 15 mins. Great camera and lights are perfectly bright.
I purchased this to compared to my Ring floodlight. I have many Foscam cameras inside and outside my house and think they are great. So far I am pleased with it. I love the idea that you can plug it in your house with the cleverly designed quick disconnect power cord. The setup was very easy with the app. Since I already have many Foscam cameras, it was easy to add this one. The app found it on my network no problem. The video is very clear and sharp.
In summary — Foscam wins over Ring.
This Foscam light/camera combo with motion sensor is fantastic! I highly recommend it. Like other Foscam products I have, it was easy to install and connect, the app is user friendly and reliable, the motion sensor works solidly, the camera is reliable and the picture is clear, the light is bright, etc. The price is fair for what you get. I have tried other similar products that I paid more for and experienced poor camera quality or dim lights and sometimes both. This isn’t one of those products — I plan to purchase another to install it on the other side of my house. Two thumbs up five stars!
Original review below:
This item works very well, it’s great that it supports 2 GHz and 5 GHz wifi. It’s also great that it supports an SD Card. I had one technical issue I could not resolve myself with the email alerts and Frank in support sent me the updated firmware for which rectified that issue. There were a couple of suggestions I made with the Android App, which I hope they consider implementing for me. As of now I am a Foscam fan, and I hope to purchase an additional camera and I look forward to new products offered by Foscam in the future. It also appears to be built pretty well, overall I have no complaints. If anything changes I’ll modify my review.
Background:
I am a 4-year Foscam Customer for 2 of their products, Foscam R2 and R4 cameras. These were priced below average cost for indoor cameras. As far as the products and quality, everything was as expected and advertised. Foscam customer service has been very helpful in terms of setting up the cameras and product support. After 4 years, the cameras perform just fine. No issues.
Price [ 5 / 5 ]
Considering that the Ring and other popular floodlight products are around $180-$250, this camera is below average in price. You can pick up one today for only $130 which is cheap for the quality offered at 2k resolution.
Installation [ 4 / 5 ]
The installation of this product was very similar to the installation for other floodlights I have owned. The instructions provided are self explanatory, but I am familiar with setting up electronic devices outside my home. For the average consumer, the community for Foscam is not as available as other popular manufactures. I have reached out to Foscam customer support in the past, and they have been more than helpful. If you have any issues, I would recommend contacting them.
Ease of Setup [ 5 / 5]
You have 2 options to view the feed for this camera. You can either use the Foscam application, or you can setup the camera using the RTSP feed provided via the URL settings. I have an unRaid locally hosted NAS / NVR system. After unboxing and setting up the camera with the Foscam app, I logged into the URL for the camera and quickly added it to my Home Assistant and Frigate application in a matter of 15 minutes.
The web gui access for the camera is recommended for a more advanced or tech savvy consumer. Many options are provided to customize your experience with this camera or your NVR system. Personally, the large array of options available is more than plenty to fit into my home ecosystem.
Image Quality [ 5 / 5 ]
The quality is amazing. Hands down, other products offer only 1080p which gives you confirmation that someone walking is either a dog, cat, or human. With the 2k quality, this floodlight gives you a sharp view of facial features and other details.
Brightness [ 5 / 5 ]
In addition, the light is very bright at 2,600 lumens. This is much brighter than the brightness of the Ring Floodlight (2,000 lumens) or any other floodlight competitors. The angle of the 2 floodlights can be adjusted to your preference.
Network Connection and Reliability [ 5 / 5 ]
Network and Reliability [ 5 / 5]
Just like my Ubiquiti and other products, I have never had to reboot the cameras since ownership unless I needed to perform maintenance. Since I have only used this camera for a week now, I cannot speak for long term use. However, the availability of a 5GHz WiFi connection decreases the possibility of network interference on the 2.4GHz stream. Many other products do not offer this solution, so I was happy to see this available on this camera.
Final Rating and Conclusion [ 5 / 5 ]
Overall, I am generally satisfied with the Foscam Floodlight. This product meets all of my needs in my ecosystem and provides additional features at a cheaper price. I would steer away from other reviews that have an isolated incident. I find that being more specific and helpful is what people look for in reviews.
Generally, if I have a product for a week, I can already tell whether it was a good investment or not. This product in particular has not given me any issues. I am also very happy that I do not have to pay $10-20 per month AFTER buying a product to get the full functionality. With a locally hosted NVR system, I do not need an internet connection to use my camera.
This review is not biased. I leave 100% unbiased reviews to provide other customers/interested parties the most reliable and accurate review for the product.
Product is easy to install WIFI unlike other flood cameras.
Had problems with DST. SD card recorded date advance to next day by the end of the day.
Customer service guy Frank is helpful in answering Lhasa all queries immediately.
It does not mention it. But a great surprise is that it does have h265. But to activate it. You need to keep foscam NVR setting off. Verified in VLC network streaming with rtsp://admin:[email protected]:88/videoMain or rtsp://user:pass@yourIP:88/videoSub. Of course change user, pass and yourIP to match your camera setup. Nice. Weird how it changes to h264 when you turn on using FOSCAM NVR. Just a guess is foscam NVR’s can’t handle h265. Oh it works great.
Everything works really well. Exactly what we wanted, easy setup.
1st I want to thank Frank from Foscam for helping me and being fair with the offer. After 4 months the lens developed a spot on it but it may have been because it was facing West in direct sunlight. Overall the product is great. Easy to use App and I love the motion sensor feature where it detects motion, turns on the LED lights and can record video with the MicroSD. You have the option on the app to turn light on and off. You cant change the color of the LED bulb however.
Human detection, flood light sensors turn off when no activity, really clear picture. Works great with blue iris setting to port 88 after enabling nvr with the phone app.
The product works out of the box and the lights are just right. I wish installation was easier, but once you install it, you are in great shape.
Excellent Floodlight Camera with a lot of features for the price. It took about 5 minutes to setup using the foscam app. I like the fact that in addition to WIFI capability it also includes an ethernet port for a hard wired connection and an SD-Card slot. In addition to the Foscam App and their cloud service you can use Foscam VMS software for PC or Mac to manage the camera (turn light on/off, adjust brightness, turn siren on/off, adjust volume and use the two way audio feature). Overall an excellent product that is easy to setup and use.
Got this motion detective camera for my new house, it looks nice and the quality is good. Didn’t get a chance to install it just yet but WiFi connection was tested and worked perfectly, the app is also easy to use. Thinking about replacing my old ring door bell as well. It’s definitely one of the best options at this price.
