FOSCAM SEARCH TOOL VS IP CAMERA1/29/2024 ![]() ![]() The camera is very well-constructed and seems pretty sturdy th anks to its metal body and glass enclosed lens and IR emitters. So I ended up getting a 2-pack of the FI8904W cameras from one of their authorized resellers ( ). The firmwares aren’t compatible, the interfaces are different, and Foscam won’t support any hardware not purchased from them. Apparently purchasing Foscam cameras is fraught with peril due to the high occurrence of unauthorized clones. ![]() Ideally I wanted the (supposedly) cheaper FI8903W (which is the same camera as the FI8904W except it has fewer IR emitters for a shorter night-vision range) but was unable to find it anywhere domestically. I started looking at other models of outdoor cameras and chose the Foscam FI8904W. TRENDnet sells weatherproof enclosures for their cameras but they won’t work with the night-vision models because the IR just reflects off of the glass. I’ve been pleased so far with my in-house internet cameras and decided I’d like to be able to keep tabs on the outside of the house as well. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information. this post is now about 13 years and 5 months old. ![]()
