Security Warning
Safeguarding Your Privacy

special characters. The more complex the username and password, the harder it will be to guess by an
unauthorized user.
You should update your camera regularly at http://www.foscam.us/firmware.html. Make sure your camera has
the latest firmware installed for your specific camera model. The latest firmware for Foscam cameras utilizes
protection against various types of online hacking, cracking, and unauthorized access. Doing so will make your
device more secure, may add features, and will contain bug fixes to make your device work faster.

quality digital video camera, with a powerful web server, to bring clear video to your desktop from
anywhere on your local network or over the Internet.
The IPCAM supports IR-CUT, when light conditions turns poor, the IR cut filter will be
automatically removed to accept IR illumination. Meanwhile, the camera switches itself
automatically from color to black and white, assuring optimal image quality at all times.
The IPCAM is based on the TCP/IP standard. There is a WEB server inside which could support
Internet Explore. Therefore the management and maintenance of your device is simplified by
using the network to achieve the remote configuration, start-up and to upgrade the firmware.
