uFoscam: 2way Audio & AV Record App Reviews

86 add

Another 5 Star Rating

Works great. And I even figured out how to get the audio to work. Take your time and google your questions. There are controls on this app to turn on the audio and the microphone. Well worth the price.

Best so far

This has been the best cam app so far and Ive tried out half a dozen.

refund

slow video connection controls dont work for foscam 9821wv2 should make a free try before you buy version

Best app!

This is by far the best app for viewing and controlling Foscam cameras. I have the FI9821W cameras. Some of the other apps simply will not recognize those cameras. This app is feature rich, the response times are short, and tech support is quick to respond to emails. My only problem so far is figuring out how to enable motion detection. My cameras detect motion and will send me snapshots in emails when I enable the “Motion & E-mail Alarm” option. However, I have not figured out what the running man icon does. Help documentation is sort of lacking.

Great

It was quick and easy to set up. Works great with all of my cameras. I highly recommend it.

Almost Perfect

After testing almost all the apps avail (including FOSCAMs own), I have found this to be the easiest to set up and use, as well as being the most feature-rich app for IP cameras. Negative issues now are: 1. Consistency between platforms (set up exactly between iPhone and iPad, but get a "107 network" issue on my iPad which never occurs on my iPhone. 2. Providing (an additionally paid) option of exclusively using gmail for email/push notifications. To offset cost is one thing- and understandable, to offer no other way is not.

uFoscam

So far so good, the only problem is that I am unable to receive emails on my phone.

Rate me spam

Just ridiculous just keeps asking for me to rate crappy app and when I try to change any settings I get spammed again for a in app purchase for a already free push service that comes "free" with most cams

Latest version is not good

Upgraded to the latest version, and now it doesnt let me control the movement of my camera.

Now solid but annoying button in middle of screen

Solid app but why put a button in the middle of the viewing screen???

Good app

Does everything well. I wish they had a widget.

Part of my daily life

Ive been using this app for years and it just keeps getting better. We have 9 cameras in our house and it has worked perfectly. The developer keeps making it better. Id be lost without it.

Works reliably with 9821 V2

It shouldn’t be so hard to write an app which can reliably connect to a Foscam camera, but it apparently is because there’s a ton of them out there, and very few work properly, even the ones that appear to come from the vendor themselves. I run everything over https exclusively and that seems to be what trips up most of the other apps. Let me assure you that uFoscam works great with my 9821W V2. The only port I have open to my camera is 443 and everything works perfectly- high quality video, pan & tilt, 2 way audio, etc. The very best thing though, is the simplest: Every time I open the app - without fail - it connects and shows me video. That’s all I really wanted, and this delivers. Sure the interface has some choices that are a little funky - like the button in the middle of the video feed which others have noted, but I will take that minor niggle for what is otherwise a solid app.

The best app

This app work with all of the cameras you buy for foscam. Tech support emails you also if any problems.

Fantastic!

Meets and exceeds every need.......and I dont write reviews very often.

Works well

Using with both 19821 and 19831. No problems.

UFoscam

WOW! Love it. Works really good for me. I depend on it at home and on the road. Thanks

Better Apps Out There

Using this app with Foscam FI9831P camera. Video stream constantly freezes (audio stream continues to work). Checked stream in other IP Cam apps, as well as in a web browser, and there are no issues. Means the problem is with the app. Was very hopeful when I purchased as the app had good reviews, but now regretting my purchase.

Great product...

Couldnt have asked for a better product...I have two cameras which I can monitor from a just about any hotel room on the planet. The only (-) I have observed is the audio output quality when I tried to talk to someone who was at my front door. Everything else is just what I wanted when I bought them. I would buy more and recommend them to anyone else.

Still no improvement for HD cams

No significant change again with this version with yet more unspecified "enhanced performance." Same problems with FI9805W/E as described below. The developer has fixed the issue of H.264 HD camera video flickering at the bottom of the frame. Unfortunately this fix is limited only to when the user is viewing the camera in single camera mode. When using multi-camera mode, the frame still flashes at the bottom. The aspect just needs to be stretched to fit the feed in multi-camera mode for H.264 cams. The sound graph at the bottom of the frame is not a useful feature to me, but perhaps for others it is. In summary, once they fix the ongoing video flickering problem with the H.264 cams in multi-view (all other apps Ive tried do not have this problem) this will be a great app. I hope this multi-view video aspect problem is resolved in a future update. App works fine with SD cameras. **Developer notes that new release resets feedback and asks for 5 star ratings--why, to erase negative feedback? 5 star ratings must be earned, not requested.
