FOSCAM 4MP WiFi Outdoor Camera, 18X Optical Zoom with Auto Tracking, 2.4/5GHz WiFi Camera for Home Security, Person Vehicle Detection, 656ft Night Vision, 350°Pan 90°Tilt, Two-Way Audio, SD4H

Great features at a good value
I have been using Foscam as my security camera of choice for over 10 years now. Over time I’ve seen a better quality product, better software, and better reliability of the cameras and systems. They are easy to setup and use and they also work with my Synology NAS where I back up the recordings.Whenever I had any issues or questions customer service has always been responsive and helpful. Majority of my cameras are indoors, but I decided on the brand new Foscam SD4H after an exhaustive search since I wanted to upgrade our security outdoors as well. The PTZ feature is something I have had on all my cameras and I like it.I was able to mount and setup the new camera very easily via WiFi. I have all of my cameras setup of over WiFi so I’ve never used Ethernet in this case. I installed the SD4H with the Foscam iPhone app. Just scan and it’s setup.The image quality is superb and with 18x zoom, AI detection and night vision at that distance you can’t go wrong. I like that these cameras are well built and at a reasonable cost. Would suggest everyone who hasn’t tried the Foscam cameras to give them a chance. They won’t regret it.

Great Outdoor PTZ camera
I have picked Foscam as my security camera of choice going back to the FI8910 days. Foscam is always improving the specs, reliability and versatility of their cameras. I mostly like them because they are easy to use.My old Foscam FI9828P V2 Outdoor PTZ camera still worked great but it recently reached EOL (end-of-life). EOL means no more firmware security updates and that means time for a new security camera. I decided on the brand new Foscam SD4H after an exhaustive search. Most security companies now offer outdoor cameras but none offer Pan and Tilt. The PTZ feature is essential for me, both for indoor and outdoor security cameras.I was able to mount the new camera in the exact same location as the old camera, even though the SD4H is larger and heavier than the FI9828P. My exterior walls are white so the SD4H blends in perfectly. The FI9828P has a 3.5″ tinted privacy dome covering the camera. The SD4H does not have a privacy dome therefore everyone can see where the camera is pointed at. I hope to find a 5″ dome to cover the new camera.There are fewer cables connected to the SD4H which makes it easier to fix the wiring inside an electrical junction box (the FI9828P had separate alarm, audio and video cables, which I never used anyways). The reset switch now has a protective cover. The Ethernet cable comes with a waterproof connector. I would prefer they included a locktight connecter for the power. The MicroSD card slot is easily accessible without having to disassemble the camera (as on the FI9828P).Installation was easy. I installed the SD4H with the Foscam Android app using only a Wi-Fi connection. This is a vast improvement since the FI9828P needs an actual Ethernet cable connection to upgrade firmware or change the Wi-Fi password. I also successfully tested installing the SD4H via Ethernet using the Foscam VMS software. For some reason, even after several attempts, I was unable to install the SD4H via Ethernet with the Android app (but the install worked fine in the App once I removed the Ethernet cable).The image quality, 18x zoom, AI detection and night vision are just some of the impressive highlights of the SD4H. The font size on the On-Screen-Display is larger than the FI9828P. The voice prompts are more relevant. The human tracking feature works great. There are more settings to tweak the camera to your liking.In summary, a great camera at a great price from a reliable company!

Useless without an account on their server
It’s a nice looking camera and the specs seem great. But the camera is not functional without downloading their app and setting up an account with Foscam. I’ve had dozens of webcams, including from Foscam, and they all have a web interface that’s just simple. I can manage from whichever computer, etc. I can also use my own server to save the video; I assume they force this interface to charge a subscription fee to store videos… No idea, not interested. Returned.
