Hello friends, this is the network camera, support web site monitoring, support password control.

Yes on both accounts. The built in DynDNS client gives you a web URL you can point any browser to to view the cam. You can also directly access the video feed using IP cam apps such as "IP Cam Viewer" and "TinyCam Monitor".

I've used it to watch YouTube videos and it works great for that. I've also uploaded a video with no problems. I have not used the built in camera, though.

The video camera does have a live feed option through ustream. It would technically stream through the Internet to a computer. I'm sure there is an output cable to go from the camera to the computer, but I haven't done that, so I don't know for sure.

I bought the ip cam viewer app and was able to set it up see it on the same network but once I leave the network it wont work. Something about the ip address not being static but always changing. I was unsuccessful in setting up the record either since I'm not an IT guy. I think unless you really know networking it's pretty complicated for a noob like myself. There are couple of free ip camera viewers out there so check it out. I'm able to view, pan, and tilt with the one I got. Just wish I knew how to take advantage of the full potential. Sorry I couldn't have been a better help.

All the webcams stream video. It is controlled by the software rather than the camera itself. Some software is designed to work only with a particular brand whereas other software is designed to work across many brands. You need a host site for your account. Some are free while others charge. Video can be streamed to your computer continuously or by motion trigger depending upon software settings. The setup can be tricky. You have to worry about firewalls blocking the video stream, setup of the camera, the host website, your router and your PC. They are a great tool for security and status monitoring. You can have multiple webcams viewable on the same screen. All the webcams stream video. It is controlled by the software rather than the camera itself.

There is a free app called iSecurity+ for security management of the camera. No monthly fees/plan is required.

HelloYes, you can see that, but i recomend you download an app from appstore called BLUEIRIS. It is the fastest smartphone aplication for this kind of security camera.

Not sure of your question, but as long as I've been in business I've never seen a webcam that can't be used for the purposes you described although I want to be sure I know what "access the webcam for home photos and videos" means to you.

You can record without paying manually, or on motion using an std card, but I really really reccommend blue iris software which costs ~ 50. It's got a ton of features and is the way to go, especially if you plan on having more than one camera.I'm an electrician who installs these and my own shop has 9 foscams and blue Iris installed on a dedicated computer.

Hi Damian. Thanks for reaching out. The NetCam has its own software for viewing/streaming. It does not work with other 3rd party software like Blue Iris.

Hey there -I see no one has really responded to your question - I am in the same boat - looking for many of the things you are. I have been looking at the Sanyo Xacti HD700 7MP MPEG-4 High Definition 720p Camcorder with 5x Optical Zoom - the reviews have been pretty good - not sure about the external mic - and it still has the low light issues - Let me know if you made a choice -

The software Foscam ships with this unit does not have this capability. It allows you to monitor the video in a small window and take snapshots manually. You can set it up to trigger on motion and send you emails with the snapshots attached. There may be third party software for this camera for continuous video capture but I do not know of any. Also the note that the wireless does not seem to be able to use a password if you have a secured router. My wireless router will only operate secured with a password so I had to plug a separate wireless access point into the router so the camera could send wirelessly to the non secured access point. I could not find another way around this with the software Foscam provides.

This is an Analog Video camera "ONLY" and is NOT an I.P. Camera (independent Network device that stream A/V) the Video feed need to pass and be processed trough an DVR system or Video streamer device/appliance in order to be Monitored/Controlled trough the Network...Just with only this Camera Model, it CANNOT be accessed remotely. Get a DVR system that can be accessed trough an internet browser(WEB/HTTP) or that is compatible with Apple iOS, Android, Windows, Symbian or Blackberry OS Devices, depending on your needs...

I need a camera to watch a room in my house when im away. I would like to be able to view it from my iPhone or computer. I would like for it to record like dvr but it has to be very discrete. I have wifi at home. I this camera the one I should choose? If possible 2 rooms would be ideal.
