FOSCAM WIRELESS IP CAMERA SOFTWARE
The one particular benefit to this model is that since there have not been two revisions, so of the software that you may want to use to integrate this into your new (or existing) home security system may have fewer potential compatibility issues. However, I have used them in a few installations, and they theoretically perform about the same as the model above, and perhaps a bit faster in the pan/tilt/zoom functions. The FI9831 is the one that has the older looking body style in the product images. The major benefit from this model, however, is not just the updated looks, but the optical zoom (3x), if you use software that supports that function. It is easy to verify from the product images, as well as the size specifications in particular, that it is the v2. It has slightly different night vision than its predecessor of the same model number due to the IR LEDs being behind a shield, rather than out in the open, but is otherwise mostly an aesthetic change. The FI9826 has had two iterations, of which the second is being sold. 4mbps minimum according to There are two models for sale in this offering FI9826 & FI9831… According to Ring support, if you have a fast enough upstream Internet connection, all the problems I experience go away. It is a shame, because I had very high hopes. For $250 the system is wrought with issues.
FOSCAM WIRELESS IP CAMERA PRO
Motion detection on the pro is supposed to be quite a bit better than the older non-HD version.įWIW, I would not make this purchase again. Regarding motion detection, the HD pro version has a refined IR motion sensing as well as image based motion sensing, with definable fields. The ring keeps track of detected motion, and doorbell ring events, recording audio and video and storing it in the cloud. It records and stores the last, I don’t remember, 24 hours of activity? I paid $30 for the annual subscription fee, which keeps my videos and activity on their server for I think six months.
FOSCAM WIRELESS IP CAMERA UPGRADE
This means if Ring doesn’t constantly upgrade their infrastructure to keep up with increasing customers/higher traffic volume, the system doesn’t work reliably.Īs far as the paid cloud service that he mentions, Ring does provide a “light” service at no cost. That said, Foscam US (distributor) is apparently pissy with Foscam (manufacturer) and isn’t supporting the cameras anymore, but that shouldn’t really be a big as says, Ring is solely dependent on the company’s cloud services for it’s capabilities. I suppose that’s a pro or a con, depending on your also raises a good point, which Ring is part of the IoT movement of nonsense, if they go out of busy or change their terms… too bad.įoscam could disappear from the face of the earth, the product will continue to work until the hardware fails.
Tradeoff is the Ring is really good at actually seeing who’s at your door, this is due to the wide FOV on the lense and the location of the mount.Īdditionally, Ring has cloud recording (which is non-free on my version, assume the same on the newer versions) which could be a nice feature if you don’t/can’t set up your own recording solution. Motion detection on the Ring is pretty hit or miss and it’s far from reliable for the remote notifications. With this in mind, if your goal is to know when someone is standing on your front porch… provided you mount the foscam somewhere it can see it and you have software running that does good motion detection, it’s going to beat the Ring, hands down. As others pointed out, they work with danged near every NVR/video software you can think of because they use standards protocols. If you are kind of a nerd at heart, the foscam is going to be up your alley. The foscam is a cheap PTZ camera (splurge for the optical zoom), whereas the Ring is a doorbell with extra…ahem… bells and whistles. The foscam vs Ring are two similar but ultimately different animals. Monday, July 13th - Thursday, July 16th I have the OG Ring, so my experiences may be different than who has the new version… but… Find a relevant price comparison?
