FI8906W is an integrated wireless IP Camera with a color CMOS sensor. It combines a high
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.
This camera is designed for outdoor surveillance applications such as gardens, courtyards or
parks. Controlling the IPCAM and managing images are simplified by using the provided web
interface across the network utilizing wireless connectivity.
FOSCAM provides Phone APPs for Android and iPhone users, please search “Foscam ip cam
viewer” and install it through APP Store, then you can view your camera directly as a computer.
