    Improvement over the FI8918W design BUT can't tilt as far down... :(
  

*by T***1 on Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2016*

Improvement over the FI8918W design and having the IR-cut filter which helps the colors in daylight but with one major down fall is it can't tilt as far down as the FI8918W can. IMO this is more necessary then having the IR Filter.Pros:- Has IR-cut filter (can hear it click,).- This camera will accept the latest FI8918W firmware. (did before initial setup via Ethernet).- Rear has Ethernet port, audio in/out jacks, power and removable Wi-Fi antenna.- VGA resolution (640 x 480) is fine.- No issues with Wi-Fi connectivity.Cons:- Can not turn full turn down like the old FI8918W can. One of the other reviewers posted a video indicating this. So if you have pets or want to monitor a baby in a crib don't get this camera. You will have to prop up the rear or use the included wall stand to get the angle.- The mic and speaker phone are fine but you need to use it as walkies-talkie to avoid the feed back both ways. Same with previous models.This being a new model why would Foscam call it the FI8916W compared to the older model FI8918W? I would NOT buy this model again due to the limitation on panning down. The  FI8918W will let you see a little of it base when all the way pan/tilted down. IMO go with the FI8918W or there 720p model.(see attached pics)UPDATE 08/29/2016-No issues, no Wi-Fi drops, rock solid.Latest firmware version:System: 11.37.2.65WebUI: 2.4.10.13Improvements:1) Optimized the login password security level.2) Deleted the MSN function.3) Enhanced the DDNS feature. Still no freedns.afraid.org support :(

    Compatible with Vera Lite. Everything works
  

*by R***W on Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2013*

I ordered this to use with Vera Lite over the internet so I could see my home while I'm away. I've only had it about 2 weeks and so far it works very well. I have a wireless set up using my Apple Time Capsule. All I did was setup the camera through its web interface...I didn't even use the software that came with it. I assigned the IP and port, did the same in Time Capsule, then added an IP camera through Vera. The last step was to setup the camera with Vera with those same IP and port numbers. The only limitation seems to be the Vera itself. The camera doesn't show a continuous video feed....it looks more like a snapshot. I have other apps on my various devices which are specifically for IP cameras, and every function is usable through those including continuous video.The picture during the day is great for my purposes. Faces are probably a bit difficult to make out unless they're close, but I can definitely see whats going on. Night vision is also wonderful indoors. The picture is black and white, but its bright as the IR LEDs look like flood lights through the video.Overall I'm very please with its performance. Video stream is generally smooth through wireless, controls work as expected, and setup (if you have somewhat basic networking knowledge) was fairly easy. I had to experiment a bit in my Time Capsule as I wasn't as familiar with its settings or where things were located, but that's no fault of the camera. I ordered one just to make sure it worked the way I wanted, and I've now ordered a couple more.UPDATE 23dec2015:Downgraded to 3 stars. I have 5 cameras overall, and the video is still great with SD limitations. That said, the LEDs have failed and/or flicker on 3 of them to the point that the night vision is unusable. I can see them flickering in the dark and one is almost completely off. The other two have held up so far with no issues. We'll see if I change them to something else (as I need night vision), or just swap cameras around.

    Much Improved, Love the IR Cut
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2013*

I've been using a couple of "minion-style" IP cams to monitor my 3D printers for a year now. The IR sensitivity of the previous cams has been a real problem since 3D printers are like beacons spewing IR, and it's difficult to get decent picture quality. The IR-cut feature of this cam really helps with that. Setup was a breeze for both wired and wireless, and the web interface is much nicer than the WANSview one I've been using. Picture quality and color fidelity are excellent, with one exception - bright yellow objects saturate the image sensor and appear blinding white. And I like to print in bright yellow plastic :(The camera is elegantly shaped and its motion is smooth and quiet. Unfortunately, it's gotten noticeably larger in both diameter and height from the "minion" style - I'd rather see things go the other way, to a smaller design. I also wish there was a preference setting to have it bypass the initial screen when logging in where it gives you a choice of ActiveX, Server Push, or Mobile Phone. I would like to be able set it to default to Server Push and just take me straight to Live Video when I type in the URL.
