Foscam Camera Viewer by OWLR Reviews

Much better than Foscam's own app

Easy to install and use, more user-friendly than Foscam's app and the price is right!

Requires admin access

For an app that claims to value your privacy to require that you give it the admin credentials is a non-starter.

Can’t access cameras

Pistol pete160

About two weeks ago, I stopped being able to access my Foscams through this app! I can access them through my WiFi computers and through other Foscam IP cam viewers. What happened with this app?

Hit or miss

Ugh. Why can I no longer control my cameras??? None of the controls move the cameras. Every month it’s something new with this app. ??

I am so frustrated that every couple days I have to delete my camera off all my apps just to re-add it so that my controls start working again!!! Ahhh! Please please fix this bug!! It’s driving me bonkers! We use the foscam as a baby monitor so we move the camera frequently. Other than that this app is great. Best foscam app we have found.

I don't get it

Why the 5 star reviews? Because it's "free"? Must be, because it's feature set is limited compared to some other apps. For what it does it works well. I currently use on wireless LAN only. Needs https support. Get that, and I’ll probably enable the motion detection ($). Update Jan/2018: An update a few months ago broke the ability to create a new log on if there’s a pound sign in the password. Existing login profiles that have a pound sign still work, but I can’t add any new profiles using the same password. Support has been notified, no fix yet.

Latest update 1.6.0 No good

Gee-rated

The app no longer allows me to view my camera when I’m on a different WiFi network than the home network - making this app/the Foscam camera basically useless for me. I assume it will get fixed, but in the meantime, just 2 stars. Boo. Fix this.

Buggy

Now fails to work when camera group is displayed, only connects with cameras when shown individually. Previously it worked fine.

Necessary app for Foscam owners

acronymsical

If you own a Foscam camera, this is the app you are looking for. The official Foscam app is useless, right down to requiring you to register a username and password to use a camera you already bought and paid for. 4 stars given at the moment, as video lags behind my PC’s browser, but that might be the phone or network link.

Nice but no night vision control

Bestoftheeast

I like it except the fact that there is no night vision toggle on iPhone 7 app. Is it a bug or its not available at all?
