Question: Does this allow video recording and if so how do I do that?
Document: In that article the author writes about a search engine called Shodan (The Dark Google) ... and how this search engine can allow users to find and infiltrate various devices connected to the internet. Not only will the hackers be able to control your cameras (watch you) ... they can get access to your entire system. You need to take precautions ... i.e., download the latest camera firmware updates and be creative with your username and passwords. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you google the following keywords: [ CNN money Shodan: The scariest search engine on the Internet ] and watch the video by David Goldman.
We pointed out the cameras to the assistant.Immediately after my sister and her husband left, the demeanor of my mother changed. All family members began to periodically view the cameras only to discover the assistant was verbally abusive to our mother, attempting to brow beat her into submission and not attentive. Interesting how they soon forget the presence of cameras.The assistant was subsequently terminated. Without the cameras and most importantly audio, we would have never known.The system needs a method of recording video and audio from a remote location.
I have to agree to accept promotional emails from you before you will allow me to secure my camera from unauthorized access? Okay ... whatever ... I hit the link and was taken to the site to download the updates ... BUT first I wanted to see what's new with the latest updates ... so I read the ReadMe.txt that was included in the download. One of the things that it fixes is: Fix the bug that no need to do authentication when using some CGI commandshmmmm.... interesting ... so I did a google search for [ Foscam Fix the bug that no need to do authentication when using some CGI commands ] and found a very interesting article written just one month ago - Jan 24/14 on pcworld.com.
I just purchased this camera...my wife and I are having twins. Not only is the price fantastic, but so is the support. It took a while to get through (~45mins) and about 30mins to setup. Afterwards, everything worked great. Phenomanal video and audio support. My wife and I can now monitor our twins (and the nanny!) remotely through our iPhones and iPads. The Foxcam Pro app was $4.95...but very much worth it!
Anyway, that seems to be more of an issue with the Telus modem/router than with the Foscam camera, as all of the other locations (using different service providers) do not have this issue.So why am I only giving this camera 3 stars you may wonder? Well, for one thing, the more I learn about Foscam, the less I respect the company. First of all, while searching around for a fix to the above problem, I came across a site ( informationweek . com) (search for: Wireless Camera Flaws Allow Remote Exploitation) ... article written April 16, 2013 ... the article warns, in part that: &#34;...Foscam have a firmware vulnerability that would allow an attacker to bypass security defenses and remotely steal credentials stored on the device...&#34; &#34;...prior to firmware version 11.37.2.49...&#34; So I checked my cameras and found that: 8 were running .49 / 2 were running .52 / 1 was running .54.
I have to give them 4 stars and say "GOOD" cameras for the money only because the video quality is slightly less than I had hoped. I have to be completely fair with rating these because they ARE a GREAT VALUE when compared to other camera brands in this class. The software capabilities and functions are worth 5 stars! If you are setting up multiple cameras such as this kit, you MUST use additional software such as the FOSCAM Blue Iris in order to easily manage all the cameras at once. You WILL still need to use the included software to make some individual settings.
I look at the cams with a free android app called tinyCam Monitor. With that, I can see all 4 cam views simultaneously on my cell phone screen. You double-click on a view to see that one full screen, and you can control the cam movement with touch or physical controls on your phone. I've been using 3G, and the video feed/controls sometimes crap out a little bit (black screen or unresponsive controls), but 4G works a lot better from what I've seen. These things have great night vision too.
We are using the Foscam cameras as safety monitors for our elderly mother. We have cameras installed in the main living areas around her home.The cameras are positioned so not to invade her privacy, but lets us remotely check in to see how she is doing.Several times she has not properly hung up her phone, so we would get a busy signal when we tried calling. Exercising an abundance of caution, one of us would then drive over to her house to make sure she was okay. Our drive time to her home ranges from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on which of her children followed up.The Foscam cameras allow us to remotely confirm that she is okay.
The video image is excellent, however; the IR shutter will jam. The audio at times is good, you will experience drop-out and wild gain swings.If you have a parent, or even a child staying at home with an attendant, This is cheap piece of mind.
Each of us travels a lot so to connect via the internet from anywhere in the world is very comforting.Additionally, the two way radio capability allows us to communicate with her even if her phone is off the hook (though we haven't used it yet).We are so pleased that we have ordered two additional cameras to cover the downstairs and garage areas.We highly endorse Foscam if baby/elderly parent video monitoring can give you the peace of mind your loved ones are safe.
Answer: yes, you need software to do it, that does not cost much. BlueIris is the name of the software I believe, and it works wonderful. Records sound too if you want it to. I think it is 40$ for the software. The foscam site has a link for the software.
