Foscam

Camera views from your phone

Foscam lets you view and manage compatible security cameras on an Android phone. It suits people who want to check a home, office or shop remotely, or keep an eye on more than one camera without needing a separate screen.

Live view and camera controls

The app provides a live video view and remote controls for supported cameras. Depending on the camera, you can pan or tilt its view, switch on night vision, use two-way audio, and save snapshots or recordings. These controls make it useful for a quick check-in as well as a closer look when something needs attention.

More than one camera

Foscam can manage multiple cameras and group them by location, which helps keep different rooms or sites distinct. The reference information also describes setup through QR code scanning or EZLink configuration. What you can use will depend on the camera model and its capabilities; the app is a companion for Foscam devices, not a general-purpose camera viewer.

A practical, mixed reception

Published by IVYIOT LLC, Foscam has more than 1,000,000 installs. Its rating is 2.7 out of 5 across 14,915 ratings, a notably mixed response. That is worth bearing in mind if you are choosing a camera system from scratch. For existing Foscam camera owners, the app brings live viewing and everyday remote controls into one place, without needing to keep the phone open once the check is done.
