Question: Do I need to run a power wire to its location outside?
Document: No problem right&#8230; wrong ! The update cannot be applied via WIFI. Are you kidding me ! So, how am I supposed to update the camera??? I bought a WIFI camera so I didn&#8217;t have to run LAN cable to the camera because its in such an out of the way location it would be nearly impossible to run cable to it. That issue is still unresolved as of this date, and of course, its not been updated yet.Video quality. Under ideal conditions, the picture quality is great.
They was never able to get them to work on my cell phone or from remote PC (off of ocal network). It has no audio or zooming, the picture quality is acceptable but PT function is really slow even cranked down to setting 0. The 120v power supply and wiring hanging off the back of the unit is not designed to accept any standard weather proof gang boxes nor is really thought out for outside use. The night vision is very poor. Tech support was extremely difficult to understand since all of them are from India.
I have owned the F18919W for about 3-weeks now. I bought it directly from Foscam. This camera was my first foray into security cameras for my home. My concept was to install 1 camera on opposite corners of the house, thereby having a full 360 degree sight around the house. I also purchased this model because it was wireless (WIFI capable) and as such all I would need to do is have electricity nearby to power the camera. Additionally, I wanted to be able to view the feed, and control the camera remotely, either via remote PC, or smart phone.
I called and talked to John, he was very patient and helpfull with my problems. he asked to access my computer which i approved and he explained in detail what he was doing to help me log-in from outside my home network wifi. He set up a port # for me and attached it to the IP address for the camera. After he had shown me what he had done, he asked if there was anything else he could help with.Very pleasant experience calling. thank you
I've had this camera for about a year,and one day it just stopped working and I paid good money for this and nothing will work.Than I got a hold of foscam support and they told me it was probably the plug,so I check the plug and it was rusted from the weather outside  and I did not protect the plug from the elements.Bought the new plug and everything works just fine and I put plastic and taped the plug .
I have several already and this one is my newest edition to use on the outside of the house. I set this up and everything works as expected and per the description but I will note that the range of motion upward toward the horizon is a bit more limited than what would be desirable.When mounted 7 feet off the ground you will only be able to capture about 30-40 feet of view. I wish it had another 5-10degrees of motion, but other than that it seems to work more than adequate for a camera at this price point.
I purchased this outside cam, which out weighs the competition as an anchor as it is heavy as heck, and it is pure junk.The signal emited form it and all other outside Foscams I have is less then25% and I have a top of the line trend net router.This one I purchased directly from Foscam and it worked once and then went dead. Their outside cameras are a joke because of poor signals emited by the cheap antennas on them.For the heck of it I took a cheap Foscam inside cam which had been damaged as to the pan and tilt as it will not tilt anymore and put it outside.
had this camera for a couple of weeks now. I like the built-in leds for night vision and its range of view (almost 360), but it just constantly hangs and needs hard resets. This renders it pretty useless for me cause I've installed it in a remove location. I've got several Panasonic webcams and will stick with that brand for a few years longer I guess.
I notice it more when the lens is pointed almost horizontal to level. So, unless you are mounting this thing way WAY up high, you will likely run into this problem. Its annoying, and could possibly obscure something you would want to see, such as a person&#8217;s face if it were to be present in one of the areas obscured by the halo. The situation is worse in the rain. This issue does not affect the entire viewing area, but none the less, its annoying.Rain and snow&#8230; REALLY obscures the picture quality, especially at night.
Great tech support if you can't figure something out. Camera works great in all weather. MOst highly recommended for outside use.
Answer: Yes. Or an extension cord.  It has a plug.
