Gralo1959 ,

Great improvement.....but

Great improvement on previous apps. Most of the setup functions are available within the app which means there is no need to use a browser to setup a cam. However, it seems there is no function to setup FTP within the app but this can be done in the browser.
One major downside is that auto-rotate is missing in the iPadOS version (works on iPhone). This is a huge oversight from the dev team meaning that full screen streaming is not possible on an iPad preventing me from using this as my ‘go-to’ app so still have to use another app for this function. Hopefully this will be addressed soon.

Developer Response ,

Dear Gralo1959, thanks for your feedback.
1. Currently, FTP settings is not supported by this app, and we will send your demand to app manager.
2. For the auto-rotate issue on iPad, we have been aware of it and will fix it in the next few updates. Thank you.

Room for improvement (Some suggestions)

The app has definitely improved over the years I have been using it. There are 2 areas I think could improve:

1. In Settings for each camera there is an option to Share Camera. What I haven’t seen in writing anywhere is that this is limited to only 3 shared users. I have some wildlife cameras which I’d like to share with more than just 3 people! Three seems a little low - 5 to 10 range would probably be more appropriate for family and friend audience numbers.

2. Alarm > Motion Detection is a few seconds slow (probably only 2-3 seconds) in starting to record. Consequently I frequently get alarm triggered videos that just show the tail end of what triggered the alarm (e.g. a bird I may be trying video will trigger the alarm, but often you will only see him just leaving). This is on a 7 day video history plan. I don’t know how it works technically, but I envisage it’s on a short continuous recording loop and only saving when something triggers it? If so, could we not have, say, 5 seconds before the trigger event? Would make a considerable difference to the benefit of this feature.

But otherwise, I am very happy with the app. Please continue with the improvements. I am constantly thinking of improvements, so could probably keep you busy for years! 😀

Frustrated Foscam User ,

Definitely can’t rely on this security App

For the past few months this app has been getting worse and worse with each update. It used to work well with my three cameras showing them instantly both on and off the network that hosts the cameras. Now, while on the network with the cameras, it mostly waits some 30s as the progress bar ticks round to 61% then times out. Off the local network it never connects. Following advice from Foscam support we’ve reset the cameras, updated firmware, changed dns, changed firewall etc etc, and it made no difference other than wasting my time. We all know this is an app issue, not a camera issue. A recent app update improved things slightly and now it’s back to mostly timing out.
Like the recent poster below, I installed ipcamviewer and this connects and displays immediately.
Please sort this app.
