Foscam Full HD 1080P 25FPS Mesh WiFi Security Camera System with Motion Detection, 8CH NVR with 4 1080P Wifi Camera, 1T HDD included, 65ft Night Vision, IP66 (FN7108W-B4-1T)

I have six of these cameras (five new, one refurb), and three R2's (two new, one refurb).They're built well, are fairly easy to set up, look inconspicuous, and are consistent in working - haven't had any major issues yet, other than the refurb's lock screw not locking in place (more on this later).Setup - I see a lot of reviews stating that the WiFi setup doesn't work. They can be a bit temperamental SOMETIMES, but I have a found that there is a workaround. Connecting the camera to a network cable and going through the installation process will allow the camera to do its thing and become functional. Then, once connected, going into the network settings and switching to a WiFi connection will work. I usually do the setup routine outside of its final spot, just in case there's a connection issue. They do keep connection settings when unplugged and do come right back to life once plugged back in - only the time needed to be synced again.Installation - all depends on how it's mounted. The wire pigtail contains a full Ethernet plug so it is kind of bulky so that needs to be taken into consideration with regards to mounting the camera. The junction box that Foscam offers is pretty nice for this.Customer service - great! Going back to the refurb camera having a busted locking mechanism, I contacted customer service. Zion helped me out and was super helpful in getting a replacement camera out to me ASAP. All in all, the whole thing took a week, and that's with shipping times included. Definitely satisfied there!Few minor issues to bring up --The initial WiFi connection issue.-The stainless cameras DO have an SD card slot built in but it's hidden. In order to access it, you have to remove the outer lens cover (2 allen screws) and then the camera/LED array (4 screws). The slot is in there, I promise. The newer white and black cameras have a little compartment on the body for it. Not a big deal but it could be intimidating the first time. They also use a nowadays rare (FAT32) format so that might be a bit difficult to figure out for beginners.-Translation problems - some of the menus in the phone and computer apps aren't perfectly translated so there could be some trial and error testing of settings to do. Not a big deal to most, but something may not work right the first time.Pro tip - the computer program offers more granular options for a few things than the phone app. It's realistically best to have access to both the computer and phone apps.

I had 4 Foscam cameras and wanted to add a couple outside. I chose Foscam again so I could use one app for all of them. The Foscam app works pretty well once you get used to it. These G4 cameras are built sturdy. Heavy duty. Picking them up, they are heavy in your hand. Picture quality looks good.UPDATE: Foscam, thank you for the firmware update for the G4 Camera on 02/21/2020. The update is FANTASTIC!! It makes the camera connect quickly for viewing live video and SD Card Video. I am now really happy with the G4 camera!!!UPDATE: 4/9/20: I was having trouble with the Detection and the G4 camera generating alarms. I exchanged emails with Foscam Support. Ended up setting up an appointment where Desmond from Foscam Support actually remotely connected to my computer and helped me with the settings. They are located in Bejing, so emails and English can be difficult, but Desmond was very patient and answered all my questions. Thank you Desmond!!!UPDATE 4/21/20: The G4 has firmware issues. I have spent months trying to get 2 of them to work reliably - they won't. Stay away from the G4 for now. I have 4 F9831P cameras that work well.Update 4/23/20: I seem to be getting Foscam's attention. I have been working with Foscam Customer Support through email. They released an update to the Foscam App for Android phones a few days ago. Then today, they released a firmware update for the G4 cameras. I immediately loaded the firmware and it appears to have fixed the detection problems I was having. I still have 2 outstanding issues I am working with Foscam on. I am hopeful they will fix these. I will update as I get more information.8/8/20: I haven't updated my review for a while, so here is what has been going on the past months: There is difficultly working with Foscam Support as it is in China, but they are a dedicated group. I have been persistently emailing them to get the bugs worked out of the G4 cameras. Getting past the communication difference is difficult, but I have sent a lot of screen shots which really seem to help. After exchanging emails maybe once or twice after that, all of a sudden a firmware or app update will show up that fixes the problem. I have a G4 Camera that has been up and running now for about 2 months with no issues. I would like to see the issues worked out before a product is released, but I understand that sometimes products need to be run in real world situations. The Foscam Support team are a dedicated group. If you have an issue, contact them. They are willing to help.
