Foscam HD 2 Pro App Reviews

Ive been using this app for a really long time now. They are constantly improving it. Always adding helpful features.

I used the original version for a couple years for my several Foscam cameras. Of the 200 or so apps I have no other app is updated as frequently as this one. The developer seems to genuinely care about the feedback. Its always fun to see what new features and tweaks are provided. I paid the price for the upgrade to version 2 and I feel its well worth it. I particularly like the today screen option for most used camera.

Really works well without issues Use it often now

I use this app to view my four ip cams (foscam) simultaneously- works great! Can see all four in landscape mode

The sound doesnt work and the video always has to be restarted. Old app doesnt have any of these problems.

Ive tried several apps with my Foscam webcams, and this app has consistently and regularly improved. When I first started using it, one of my cameras wasnt even supported, while a couple were poorly supported. In just the past 6 months of use, not only are they now fully supported, the app has steadily improved in functionality, steaming, and stability. Ill give it 5 stars just because this is how apps are supposed to be updated, though it deserves 5 stars for its features, too!

While there were some nice usability changes in the new version, it is a lot less stable than the original. The app constantly crashes and fails to load cameras that still work fine in the original app, Foscam Pro Surveillance. I wouldnt recommend this app until it becomes stable

Used this for a few years and great as I can watch my home when away, caught a burglar attempting to get into a pu in my driveway, he was recognized and arrested by police

Everything works! Low latency on controls, full featured, just works. Exactly what I needed. Also, one of the few apps that supports SSH encryption!

Not only does it not find any of your cameras, but it disables them if you try to revert to version one of the Surveillance app. Hopefully they will have a fix soon, but for now you should wait.

Ok, stupidly and in spite of the review from user "Dilweegie" I decided to install this app. It remotely wrecked the first camera I installed (now it wont work with any app). DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP. Now Im on vacation and my outside camera is all screwed up.

App crashes every time I try to use it.

When I first purchased this updated version of the surveillance pro app I had a negative opinion of the app because I could not get it to connect to any of my cameras.I was positive I was doing every thing right so it had to be the app.Well after writing a negative review,which I have not seen posted yet I discovered that it was me entering the wrong information.After entering info correctly it works great.Big improvement over the first version.I am four star satisfied with this Pro 2 ver.

I really didnt like the first version. I even purchased Securityspy and Remote Patrol and dealt with network issues because I didnt like it. This app has been a huge step forward for me. I didnt try to let it find cameras because I port forward for access out of my wifi range so connecting was easy. I like the settings for motion detection, which never seemed to report what I actually had set on the webapp in the first version. The only thing I have found wrong is for some reason the schedule for motion detection on all my cameras was set from midnight to 3:30 every day instead of all the time after running this app. Odd but will see if it was just a glitch. Other than that, really good. I would like to see more progression on motion alerts. Emails can be very delayed and leaving the app open all the time is not a practical option in my opinion. Love the cameras on lock screen too!

Has the original version and it worked great. I decided I would upgrade to this one, but unfortunately it kills my battery. Found that despite muting the sound, it still plays a static sound out the speaker killing my battery. The only way to stop it is to force the app closed. Ill be using the old app until this is fixed.

Doesnt work with FI9803P camera, the older iPhone program works find with this camera, just the iPad version doesnt.

I tried this app AND the older ‘Foscam Surveillance Pro’ app from the same company. Horrible apps, both of them. The Pro 2 version crashes on my iPad every single time. It’s completely worthless. Avoid BOTH ‘Foscam Surveillance Pro’ and ‘Foscam Surveillance Pro 2’! Bad apps! The FAR better choice is ‘Foscam Pro: Multi IP Camera Viewer’. That app works perfectly on my iPad and iPhone. I wish I had found it and downloaded it first!

Well, I just purchased this app as I have also purchased some new Foscam cameras (FI9900P - great camera) and some of the new ones are not listed nor supported by the older Surveillance 1.77 app. Anyways, the new app discovered all of my cameras along with everything else on my network (hum?). Selected the camera and saved. Well, when you add more than 3 cameras - the app crashes and crashes - you get the point. So, not quite sure the app works or is quite ready for prime-time. Keep working on it guys.

Okay, so I downloaded this app as the older version 1.77 does not list or support newer Foscam cameras. Setup was GREAT!. However, after my 3rd camera, the application crashes when you try to view them all or each one individually. But the WORST thing is that when you access your app, it RESETS your settings on the camera to all VGA mode and the lowest quality image and video. So, I had to go into my web browser and reconfigure all of my settings. This APP is NOT READY !!!!

App crashes on every 9821 v2.1 camera. Requesting refund.
