Warning regarding bandwidth usage over 3g connection
When using the app over a 3g connection, be warned that it can consume a substantial amount of bandwidth. If you do not have a flat fee subscription, this could cost you quite a bit of money. If you have a flat fee subscription, you could reach your bandwidth limit or fair use policy limit sooner as you might expect. More on bandwidth usage see here.
To avoid unnecessary bandwidth usage the app will not run in the background and close all connections.

Hi,
I have purchased your app because I was not satisfied with the other foscam app. However, eventhough I see the video, the direction buttons DO NOT function in your app.
I have iPhone OS 3.1.3 and my foscam's Device Firmware Version is 11.14.1.46 and Device Embeded Web UI Version is 2.4.8.12
Could you please advice?
Cheers,
Koray.

I'm looking for a camera and iPhone app that I can use as a baby monitor. I like the Foscam camera, but am searching for an app that runs on the iPhone or iPad that includes audio support. I came across your app. If you get audio working, you'll have a "killer app" for the baby monitor market.

Any time frame for audio support? I'm planning to use it as a baby monitor, so that is a key feature. Thanks!

Hello!
I've downloaded your app, its the best!
But, could you increase the number of simultaneously camera for more than six ?
Maybe you could put a scrollbar in the mosaic.
Thanks,
Igor

Hello Maurice,
My wife and I love your app. We, like many others, have purchased the foscam FI8918W as a baby cam and would love to have audio support. Furthermore, I have this vision of your app not only supporting audio, but also providing a push notification to our iphones when the baby is crying. How amazing would that be? I assume that this would be something to be tweaked in the camera's firmware, so perhaps I should be sending this idea to Foscam. Pushed Baby Cry notifications would send this camera/app combo into an iphone/ipod touch commercial for sure. :) Thanks again for the app.

That would be FANTASTIC!

Bought the camera and your app recently and am loving both.
Quick feature request: My FI8918W now has the ability to program presets, and to switch between them. It would be cool to be able to do this via the iphone app as it would make moving the camera around much more easy (especially over slow phone connections)
Cheers for your great work.

I didn't know that, thanks will look into it. Maurice.

Same feature request as made by ThEdge: please add "preset" support.
Also, please consider adding brightness/contrast support.
Your program is excellent: really nice, well-designed and reliable. Considering how much work you've put into it, it's a bargain at this low price (as I'm sure all other programmers recognize).
We're currently running two cameras, an FI8908W and an FI8918W. Your program makes it possible to see and control both of them across the internet as well as within the house.
NOTE for people who can't get two (or more) cameras working across the internet: use port forwarding, and give the cameras NON-consecutive port numbers (with my Linksys router, consecutive port numbers, e.g., 85 and 86, did not work, so only the first camera was accessible through the Internet, even though both worked within the LAN).
Leaving a gap between the port numbers, e.g., 82 and 92, solved the problem. Remember to change the port numbers in several places:
1. in the cameras themselves. The cameras will reboot when you do this, and you'll have to use the new port numbers to access them afterwards.
2. in your computer Browser and shortcuts, e.g., 192.168.1.31:82 and 192.168.1.32:92 (if the cameras' LAN IP's are 192.168.1.31 and 192.168.1.32, and the ports are 82 and 92).
3. in the router's Port Forwarding table ("Games and Applications" in some Linksys home-style routers).
4. in Foscam Surveillance Pro on your iPhone or iPod.
Also, please consider adding brightness/contrast support.

Hi All/Maurice,
I have put my effort in trying to push Foscam to make the audio feature available... here their answer.. Cheers!
Dear Mr. Steven,
first of all my compliments for the amazing device you are producing.
I am one of your customer and am very happy with my FI8918W that I am using in my everyday life when I am in different part of the World and thanks to my Foscam Cam I have the chance to keep an eye and communicate with my family with my computer or iPhone.
I am writing because, as you know, the best iPhone application is called Foscam Surveillance Pro by Ruwebit, but it is some month that a lot of users like me are waiting for the possibility to have the audio feature, like it happnes with our pc/laptops. The software developer explained that due to an Apple restriction he cannot do anything until Foscam changes its audio support, as Foscam engineers where already advised some time ago.
This is not a complain at all but just an advice since your product and that software product can be a fantastic device if working at 100% together, but this cannot be done until there is a new firmare providing a solution for that issue.
With Kind Regards, wishing You all the best and an extraordinary New Year!
Luca
Dear Luca,
Thank you for your support on foscam.
In fact,our engineers are trying to fix this issue step by step now.
This issue should be fixed in next few software.
Good business and have a nice day.

hi,im new to this but after installing a new Foscam which seems to work fine from a pc or laptop, it seems to freeze after accessing it using my iPhone 3GS. it occurs when using surveillance pro and straight through via safari. I just wondered is there a known issue i am unaware of or maybe i have a faulty camera or just need to adjust a setting somewhere? its very frustrating as once it freezes it needs to be switched off at the power source to reset the camera. also i have noticed the green led at the back flashes rapidly when this crash occurs. i would gratefully appreciate any help or pointers you might suggest.

Superb ! Now I use it to control my HEDEN CAMHED041PWN Wifi camera easily from anywhere
Seems totally compatible for HEDEN as far as I see ...
Everything is perfect , a french version would be welcome , but on the other hand use is so intuitive.
Sound for me is not a must (and sound of the HEDEN camera is so weak and dull....)
Full screen landscape view with hidden conrol buttons is genious !! you still have direction control !
Sliding control panels too etc etc...
Good job !!! ( sorry for my English ,I am French :-)...

Like your app very much.
Is it possible to add preset positions for the foscam 8908/18 cams in the app.
Would be great.

The next version (1.54) will have presets! It is currently under review by Apple.You'll need to have the latest firmware on the camera and you'll need to use an operator or admin account. It's the first in a series of updates with all kind of new features 
... Please rate the app after each update! thanks...

I'm very happy with the iPhone app!
But I would very much also like an app for my iMac!
Are you thinking or working on that already?

I agree def. the best iphone app for ip cameras but it does need sound. Next update maybe?

I bought this app and I love it, EXCEPT no audio. There are at least 2 other Apps on iTunes that now have Foscam audio: "Live Cams pro" and "Baby Monitor Foscam with Audio". Not sure how they did it but it might be worth a look. I would of course prefer to use Foscam Surveillence Pro since it is a much better camera app.
let us know if you are actively looking into adding audio

(ben heel erg geïnteresseerd :-)
(ben heel erg geïnteresseerd :-)
Because of a faulty update with v1.55 I had to remove the app temorarily from the App Store. Update 1.56 fixes the problem and should be available in the App Store today (July 28th) or tomorrow

Hi! I installed the app an read all comments and questions in the forum. I can see every detail of the cam but the 8 control buttons are out of function. I realy read EVERY note in the forum but I did not have success.
PLEASE help me!
Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot!
Please check:
Are you logged on with an operator or admin account? Visitors cannot control the camera.
Is there sufficient bandwidth available (mostly applicable to 3G connections)
If the problem persists, reset the camera to factory default through its webinterface. Sometimes the framerate settings is set to an undefined state, leaving no bandwidth for controlling the camera.
Please, next time use the support forum, thanks

WE NEED AUDIO!!!! great job thus far, but there's been a promise for audio for some time now, and no delivery.
I'm working on it

I really like this app. The ability to initate patrol is a nice feature. Would you consider patrolling on existing presets?
I will ook into it

Will definitely purchase when audio support is included. Would happily pay double with 2 way audio. Things like background noise reduction, audio alert functionality, etc, are additional desired features but all of these seem like they would require pretty intensive development time. Your app looks fantastic and your efforts are appreciated.

I love this app! Would also pay double for two way audio. Anyway you can create an app for the Droid OS?
I'm working on audio and made some important progress. Just hold on . And the plans for the Android equivalent app are being finished.

I have using app for some time and I'm quite happy. 2 big recommendations though.
I have been seeing other apps incorporating access to microphone and speaker. I have read your forum explanations of why your app doesnt have this but are there any updates expected?
Your app would gain tremendous value if you incorporate airplay through apple tv or other method.

I like so many other users am using this as a baby monitor. It would be great if you added an "auto dim" feature that you could set to dim the iPhone/iPad backlight automatically after a period of time. So when you have this on your nightstand at night, you could have it dim to 20% until you touch it and then it reverts back to 100% backlight.

I cannot get my camera to load on my iPhone 4 if I'm only connected to my 3g network. It works fine if I find a wifi spot to connect with. Since it works fine on other wifi networks it leads me to believe there is nothing wrong with the settings I have entered. So why will it not load when I'm connected to 3g?
Please use the support forum for questions

Same for me, I will purchase once two way audio working...great app, is a pitty audio is missed.

Please allow me to compliment you on your Foscam app. I've been using it for several months and it keeps track of 5 cams in two different locations. With a little bit of judicious use, it doesn't really weigh much on band allowance (100 Mb per day).
A listen-in feature would be a great add-on for future versions. More than enabling the user to speak through the camera (the quality would probably be quite low, anyway) I could see situation in which one might want to listen to what's going on.

Hi, Your app to control my Foscam ip cameras is truly amazing and I love it!
I am awaiting for an audio feature, which would just make your app the best in the world!
I would like to to see some extra features added though.
It would be to control what logins/cameras go into mosaic multi-camera display window.
I have multiple logins defined per camera (admin, visitor/operator) so when the mosaic kicks in, it creates views for each login, not for each camera.
So, for instance, it will divide my iphone screen into 12 little camera view windows for 4 cameras, which is not desirable and I have no control over this mosaic feature.
Also when do you think you will have video streaming to an ftp server?
Thx heaps for your fantastic work!

Outstanding APP. Maurice, you have done a wonderful job on this one!! Works perfectly with the multiple Foscam and the 1 Hootoo camera that I have! The app set up easily and operates flawlessly from anywhere!! I almost hate to ask for more!
One new problem. I just purchased a new Foscam model FI8608W which is new to the Foscam inventory and, among other changes, operates on 802.1N wifi. The firmware version is V3.2.1.1.1-20111115 and the device embedded UI version is 2.5.08.2.
Maurice, do you plan on updating to add this camera to your already very large inventory of supported cameras? I know there is quite a firmware change as you even have to use a new ip camera tool to set it up.
In any event, Thank you very much for a great app and I hope you will consider adding this new camera! Best wishes to all!

Yes, the goal is to support all Foscam cameras

The app can also be run on an iPad in 2x mode. The artwork and the camera screen will then run in a higher resolution. The texts (fonts) will look grainy however.

Please, make this for Android. I had this on my IPhone 4 and it was great but I have swapped over and would love to buy this for my new android phone. If possible please let me know. The android market has nothing this good for my cams. I think you would make a killing.
Android app is in the making

I want to use this as a Baby Monitor at night so I want the camera on with audio but I don't want to be disturbed by any other features on the iphone. Does your app allow you to mute the iPhone using the switch on the side of the phone so that calls and notifications for texts, emails etc. are muted but the sound from the camera is still audible? If this isn't possible is this something you are planning to add and do you know when this might be available?
If it does support this functionality is it then right that the volume setting for the audio for the camera is independent of the volume settings for the phone. Thanks.
