If you are talking about it staying open physically I have no problem or if you are talking about the camera software staying on try going to microsoft and check for update to software

S. Albert -I was thinking the same thing - taking the laptop and Minoru webcam out and capturing something interesting (more interesting than my face). But when going through the reviews, a few people have said that the picture gets overexposed easily and it works much better indoors. That's the only reason I'm hesitating to buy this thing. Hopefully they'll get it fixed soon -- someone mentioned that it was possibly just a software fix.

Hi Melissa, I have no problems with the computer, but you should be able to connect your web cam

I use it as a webcam while it is charging. You may have to download drivers. Mine is running on standard windows drivers.

I think what may help is motion detection. I already asked the tech support guy and he said they are working towards this functionality. I would think it be done soon over the next release or two. So far my camera works great so over all its a good by. good luck ;)

I have my mother using the webcam on her Dell, using AIM. I go through Ichat. It worked for a while, but I had to invite her to videochat. Picture quality was poor. She could never invite me. Now, it doesnt work at all, and am wondering if it is just my mother who isnt very tech savvy, or if it is the stinkin cam.

I'm not sure, I don't use this anymore. I got a new computer with a cam built in.

Yes. There are several ways to approach this problem. First I would try moving the camera from auto to that little guy that is running.

I tried something much like this, and it didn't work. I think there are timing issues. If you want a remote webcam, you may have to go to one that is wifi-enabled.

There is a setting for that. I no longer use that camera, but I remember that you can disable that. Check in all settings, maybe some setting about clock.

Try reset cam while plugged in it may also depend on windows version may not be compatible with 8 and up you may need to load basic player for the cam also try finding it in my computer right click explore

Put the camera on motion detection and will email you of any motion. Don't keep the camera on all the time leave it on motion.

Yep! Both camera and monitor stay plugged in 24/7. Our son is now 2 yrs old and we still use it every night.

Look up software named SplitCam, download it, and install it. It is what I use and my camera always detects it.

You need to go into setup for the camera, I think you have the scheduler turned on. Go into email/FTP Alarm, then click Alarm Service Settings, uncheck scheduler.

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
