This review is from: Foscam FI8909W-NA Wireless/Wired IP/Network Camera with 7 Meter Night Vision and 3.6mm Lens (67 Viewing Angle)I bought 4 of these to monitor a farm for a friend of ours. They all work fine in temperatures from 20-90 Degrees F, and dusty dirty conditions.The software runs in internet explorer as an active-x so the cameras be used with standard web-cam type software. Well I couldn't figure out how anyway. Using IE just adds to the memory load and reduces the reliability of the system. Also the Active-X and Internet explorer combination gets to be a real CPU hog when running 4 cameras with motion detect on, so use a decent PC if that is your plan. The software has a bunch of features, but also is buggy sometimes, which is one more reason I would love to use stand alone web-cam software....The night vision is good for close monitoring, as is the lens of the cameras, but fay away isn't great so don't think your going to make out a face from 50' away.Bottom-line: They do what they say, are inexpensive and they have been out in a barn for 6 months running with no problems other than needing to reboot the PC every few days...
This review is from: Foscam FI8909W-NA Wireless/Wired IP/Network Camera with 7 Meter Night Vision and 3.6mm Lens (67 Viewing Angle)I have 4 FI8918W and 2 of these FI8909W units. The 4 FI8918W all work well for over a year and I never had issues with transmission distance or reliability. Of the 2 FI8909W cams, one of them works reliably but the other developed transmission issues and locks-up after a period of a week. I think I traced the lock-up to motion detection. Initially within the first 6 months of use I never had any issues using the same setting/location and motion detection activity; however recently, I've either had to unplug the unit or turn off motion detection to have it work "reliably". Unplugging the unit essentially rebooting the camera fixes the issue but if motion detection is left on, it will stop working after 3-4 days (photos/motion are being triggered and emails sent during this timeframe)and then I'll have to reboot by unplugging the unit. So I've finally decided to turn off motion detection and after 1 week of use it hasn't locked up yet.If I didn't have a need for a thinner profile camera, I'd only purchase the FI8918W cameras. But at least my other FI8909W works reliably--and it has been transmitting over a greater distance and through walls.
This review is from: Foscam FI8909W-NA Wireless/Wired IP/Network Camera with 7 Meter Night Vision and 3.6mm Lens (67 Viewing Angle)The device hat a very short stay at my home, one night. I have 20 years computing and networking experience but was unable to get the cam to email pictures when the motion sensor trips. The problem may be that the device does not support SMTP servers that use SSL, buts thats what just about EVERY provider uses, so no Gmail, AOL, Hotmail, Live, etc etc etc. Of course, if this is a feature you dont plan on using you may be fine. At least the first day the device did upload pics to my ftp server and I was able to see live video on my iphone. The next day after a cam reboot (switching to another room) the green light just blinked fast and that was it. From this point on it only worked with the Cat 5 cable... well, back it goes and I am giving a Dlink a try...It appears that even the much more expensive cam like those from Panasonic give users a fair share of headaches.
