Is there any reason I wouldn't be able to use this with my iPhone IP Camera apps as a Baby Monitor? Anyone tried it for this?

I don't see why it wouldn't work with right app. Just remember though, there is no audio if that is something you want..

In principle it would be OK but here are some points to consider: 1) No audio. 2) You'd need to gin up a mount of some sort as it's designed to be screwed into a surface. 3) In the dark, the IR leds used for night illumination are fairly visible, they spill a non-trivial amount of visible red light.

I would say no. The interface for using skype to connect to the cameras is inefficient and cumbersome. It is a fantastic baby monitor if you are onsite, not a good choice for distant monitoring in my opinion.

I use an Apple app called "Baby Monitor" on my iPhone. As the name suggests, it was originally intended for monitoring a baby by video cam, but I find that that it works great for my purpose. I had another highly rated app but didn't like it as much because, although powerful, the app was sluggish and the video quality on my iPhone wasn't that great and it was overly complicated with a lot more bells and whistles than I really needed. "Baby Monitor", on the other hand is a relatively basic app which doesn't try to do everything, but does the things that it does do very well with easy to use controls.

You can find the app on Google play. The Cool Cam works great never regret purchasing it. Vision is clear in the darkest places. As long as you have a good internet connection you should not have any problems. I use it to monitor my baby and it works well even when I am away from home. Hope you get through with yours.

It should work with IP cameras. I'll have to check the specs. As for viewing, you can view 4 cameras on screen. 8 cameras or all 16 at the same time. Additionally, you can single out any camera to view full screen. Hope this helps

I have been able to get it to successfully work with iPhone an iPad. There are various apps out there that work with this camera

No ! You can only used the monitor supplied. However with the APP you can view your cameras on any media - computer, IPHONE, iPad etc

I use an android phone and i downloaded an application from called ZVIEWER from Zmodo. Look it up on the app store and if it is available then technically it should work. If not other apps such as IP Cam Viewer is another options. Technically any software of that type should do the trick but I have not tested it so I don't know for sure.Hope this helps.

I haven't used the dock with my phone - just my iPad2. If you could send more information my way about what type of monitor you are trying to project to, I could experiment and let you know what I discover. Thoughts?

I think the problem is that there is only one camera input. I don't think this would work. It's a great idea, though. The "fooling it to believe it's in Park" is the least of the problems. Incidentally, if you haven't bought yet, and you own an iPhone get AppRadio 3 with CarPlay. This AppRadio2 has become very problematical with IOS8. If I knew then what I know now, I would have waited for the unit with CarPlay. That's if you use an iPhone 5 or later.

It is safe to use as a baby monitor, but i found a lot of issues with it as a baby monitor. You either have to keep your ipad/iphone on all the time or not be alerted when your baby is making noise. The iphone alerts are notifications - it does not turn on the screen the way other baby monitors do. In addition, the lights around the camera are fairly bright in a dark nursery - can be very distracting. We also had a lot of issues with our idevices staying connected to the camera. It would have to "reload" a lot. Needless to say, we got a traditional video baby monitor instead and have been happier.

You can set this camera to record a short video clip when it detects motion using the Foscam IP Camera Tool program. The problem is you have to keep the window open in IE all the time or it won't record. I use Blue Iris software to manage my video cameras and much prefer that to the IP Camera Tool.

Yes, there are a few Android (and iPhone) apps. I use IP Cam Viewer Pro and it works well. I can even hear the audio (with an annoying hum) on the phone, which I cannot from my PC browser.

I have the fl9821w vers 2 and im using ip cam viewer from play store on my android s5. Its the best of the worst ive found but to get the hd look u have to switch from ch 4 to ch 1 which then makes it unstable. Its b.s isnt it? I bought my camera for the hd but cant get it on my android. Anyways...try ip cam viewer

I use this device for investigation purposes at work where i plug the camera to a DVR and program the IP address & DNS setting so i can remotely monitor. It is NOT great in the dark as it isnt designed for that. You may look into IR cameras for that.

I use it with my computer on a IP connection. It also quit working and the company said The camera comes with 1 year warranty, so you still can get a replacement please pay for 40% depreciation charge. I will never buy from this company again.

so far I have only used the zmodo phone app, which works well. there are 2 apps, one for when you are on your home network. one for when you are not. my understanding is there is a way to "port forward" so you can view your cameras on any computer but my attempts to do that so far have failed. They weren't much of an attempt though. Ill probably try again later. There are some youtube videos of how to do it.
