Foscam Security Cams and setup...

Recommended Posts

Ya must of missed something in BI.... It works flawlessly here. It's a lot more intricate than the built in webserver...

 

 

That's what's strange.. Vitamin D has been working great over the last 3 days with detecting motion and sending me alerts. Blue Iris was running for one day and it wasn't consistent with motion alerts, even when I passed my hand in front of the camera inside the window.. It didnt pick it up as motion.. (??) so I nixed it and went with Vitamin D.

 

Perhaps it's the software? Vitamin D is able to fairly accurately determine if an object is a person, animal or "other." Maybe whatever algo they're running is more "intelligent"?

 

So far over the last 2 days, I've seen (been alerted of) the landscapers, postman, and ups delivery person. =]

They are only about 6-8" tall. You tell me, you get a lot of snow built up on your house? :)

I dunno how hard it is for you to get to them, but if they need servicing, especially in the winter, that might be a biotch.......

 

do you think the snow will cover them up ?

Maybe, maybe not... They all use the same security like other internet devices. Wep/Wap, etc... So IMHO, anything you open your network to could be vulnerable. Host off your own server, devices, sharing, etc...

 

Also, beware of sites selling low priced Foscams... A lot are nothing more than clones. Foscam is aware of this so I'm told by their reps. Make sure your firmware IS up to date as the article mentions.
