i just see it, the lights have a dimer in the cable (like volume control) the focus is on the cam lens you just have to turn left or right and search for the best focus for you.Regards

One review said just plug in and go..I plugged mine in and nothing happened..Can someone tell me how do you get this thing to work...

After connecting to computer, nothing happened. Turning the knob only increase or decrease illumination of led.I received this item without installation CD.Is there anyone who will dircet me the link for drivers of this item. To add more difficulties, there is no brand or company name.

You have to focus by moving the camera back and forth. Focus ring doesn't work. Also have to get close to object.

NO ..... and I need it translated...................I only have 'figured out' a few instructions so far...............BUT I really LIKE the CAMERA so far. If you find one let me know....THX......My MENU has NO ENGLISH option.......... and what I have translated is not a good translatable understanding. I 'understand' there are TWO cameras..........one is Engish, etc. translatable the other is not. I apparently have the Non-English.

The instruction book is usually available on NIKON's website. Having said that--if you have not already bought this camera, I would suggest looking around. It is not that great. Photos are rarely crisp and clear. You need near perfect conditions to have them turn out.

Wireless: no / Zoom: no / when dark, it looks like a black and white picture. I haven't set it up via the web yet, I know it can be done, just haven't had time to do it yet. They are not the highest grade cameras. I haven't yet, but I want to get atleast 1 high resolution camera

There are instructions with the camera. You download a program from the website and enter the unit number. It links up. That is the only way to record the video. I had to leave the program open on my computer for it to record. The program is IPcamsystem.exe. It shows up as plugCAM on my computer. A friend did everything for me, so if you need more detailed instructions, just let me know and I will ask him for you.

No, I did not have instructions in my kit either. I went to you tube and found a video on how to set it up.

I don't know, James, because we sent the camera back! Something that only records for 10 seconds when it activates was not what we needed. We got a netcam instead! Goggling the camera model doesn't turn up anything?

When I go to add the software from the website..it states that I should plug in the camera, when i open the devices on the computer, I see that the webcam is there..But it is not allowing me to install it..and it doesnt just plug in and go from there so I had to go on the website they provided to download the software or something...

You can do to their web site (by googling the camera model) and download the instruction manual (in pdf). There are instructions in the pdf file on where to download the software to setup the camera.

There should have been a mini DVD with operating instructions. It's kinda complicated at first and you definitely need them to figure it all out. I believe there is a YouTube video on it if you don't have the DVD.

Gadgetjq: Great post... but my problem is that I disabled my webcam (thinking to save HD space from something I wouldn't use) and now want it back (now I'm a grandmother going on a trip!) It doesn't appear under My Computer at all. Can I get it back??Thank you for any help!

I used this video, and you're right the instructions are horrible. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=03NYW8znZO0

Mine came with a very minimal instruction sheet, poorly translated into English. It made absolutely no sense to me. I ended up plugging the SD card into an adaptor, inserting it in the card slot on my laptop, and using Windows Media to download and process the footage. Nothing else worked. I hope this helps!

My experience: return/sell the camera and buy anything else. Sorry I couldn't help more - but the camera is very poor quality.

Vince,Just call Foscam support, wait 20 minutes for your turn, and tell them what you want to do. They'll walk you through the whole set-up. Just be at your computer with the camera. and be willing to spend about 45 minutes on the phone. If you have difficulty, they will take control of your computer and set everything up remotely. Fantastic, huh?Craig
