Affordable, but hard to set up, and low quality. Seldom work unless hardwired into the network, and our three started dying off after 13 months. Jul 08, 2019

So nice and easy to connect multiple cameras Feb 07, 2019

Have used this as a baby monitor for 4+ years. Must be plugged in (no batteries).Can use outside of wifi if desired to check in if out and babysitter is with children, etc. No issues, would recommend. Aug 24, 2018

Almost loved this until it lost connection 3 occasions and I couldn’t hear anything. Ran into my babies room to find her screaming. There should be an alarm for poor connection. Apr 28, 2018

We used this in addition to our other monitor when hubby was deployed so he could log in and check on the baby and talk to him! Feb 18, 2018

We used this with an app on our phone instead of a traditional monitor. Loved using my phone instead of the small cheapy monitors. The night mode stopped working after a year, but still worth it. Jul 08, 2017

Currently using this camera to watch our little one. The camera has great picture and a wide range of movement. The app is less than stellar and connecting when not on wifi is slow. Apr 07, 2017

This is pretty awesome camera. Setup was easy and customer service is great when you have any question. The video quality is pretty good compared some other cameras we've had. Mar 26, 2017

Way cheaper than a traditional baby monitor. A little confusing to setup, but worth the effort! Easy to control using a free app on my smartphone or laptop. Model: FI8918W Oct 08, 2014

Less expensive than most baby monitors and has so many great features. Listen and view from your phone, take photos, movement alarm, move camera around, zoom and more. Aug 31, 2014
Everything that you need from a video monitor at a fraction of the price. Plus, you can monitor through your cell phone! Aug 22, 2014

You can connect even when you're not in the house (so you can be on your deck, or at a restaurant and check in on your little one!) Jul 29, 2014
So far so good for us. Works great inside the house and outside. We can pan across the room. No zooming, but most dont. If you have the mic and speaker on at the same time there is feedback. Jul 24, 2014
Best thing ever. Better mounting capabilities would be nice. But I still love it. Very reliable Jul 24, 2014
The image is good. It's CHALLENGING to get set up. iPhone app isn't very good. Jul 23, 2014
this is way more affordable than most monitors and i love that i can check my daughter from my phone Apr 29, 2014

Great camera for a great price. Picks up every little noise and returns a clear picture even if there's very little light in the room. Apr 03, 2014

This camera is great. Resolution is great. Color and infrared for night is awesome. I love that you can access from all your mobile devices at home and away as well as pan the crib bc he moves a lot Mar 16, 2014
Love it, except our first one broke after less than 5 months' use. We hope it was a lemon. I love the ability to see the image from any device in the house. Feb 26, 2014

great for the tech savvy parent, I love being able to access the monitor from my phone Feb 16, 2014

This works great with two caveats. They are still working out the kinks of the smart phone app. It eats data like crazy if you live in the country like me and have a data cap. I still love it!! Feb 01, 2014

This works great with the iPhone. It can get a tad glitchy but we just moved the camera to the other side of the room and all is well now. It travels well, too! Oct 18, 2013
Connects with any of my iDevices via the foscam app. A little glitchy but no problems for my geeky tech hubby. Sep 24, 2013
I have the white version of this camera. It works great. Love that I can peak in my child from iPhone wherever I am. You can pan the room & take pics too. Great pic quality. Sound is bad though. Aug 27, 2013

These are wonderful! They are much cheaper than "baby" monitors, and do a fantastic job. They are controlled by an app, can rotate, zoom and you can see clearly in the dark. Oct 30, 2018

No customer support!!! Too complicated to set up and people can hack into your firewall to view your kids! Terrible product! Jan 21, 2017

More cost effective than a standard video monitor. It's nice to see the the baby when we have a sitter, and we can even save and record some precious moments. Customer service for Foscam is great! Oct 18, 2014

This has worked well to use as a baby monitor with our ipad. The only complaint is if it falls, the movement doesn't seem to work anymore. Oct 07, 2014

worked really well! love that I can view from my computer or tablet. Sep 30, 2014
Awesome camera! Cheaper than other baby monitors and can be accessed from anywhere. Brings peace of mind to be able to see him in the middle of the night without getting up. May 26, 2014
- Sara B.

Not the easiest thing to set up, but it works great and the price is reasonable. We use the Foscam apps on our iPhones and iPad, and babysitters can use the camera via our iPad. Mar 11, 2014
