I am very frustrated with app on my iPad. First I did change internet providers but I have that all resolved now. I made the edits on my iphone and iPad and got the app to wk, “ip changes” however I was trying to see why I never have been able to control the camera via an app and decided to delete the camera on iPad and add back. Now the app will not recognize my admin login and password. I know it is correct and works on PC and my iPhone app still works however I did not try to delete camera there and add again. I have tried deleting app and re installing, clearing browser history and nothing works. The camera also works on the old Foscam app on iPad. Any suggestions?, Vince

I’m literally SPEECHLESS! I’ve had an in-home daycare business for 25 years and rely on my Foscam camera’s daily. I have four of them set up throughout the house (Front door, Playroom, Crib room, and Cot room). When I purchased them years ago, the Foscam app that allowed me to view them were very difficult to set up. You could only view one camera at a time and it was frustrating. They later came out with a new app that allowed all camera viewing screen or individual and the set up wasn’t as difficult. Copying the camera’s to another device was a nice feature not having to do the start up process all over again for a different device and not too hard to do. I’ve used that one for a few years now. I just updated my device to a new one and noticed I couldn’t use the Foscam app to view my camera’s. Confused, I went and looked for an updated app and found this one. Wow! Set up on 3 different devices INCLUDING external viewing of my 4 camera’s was a BREEZE! The app quickly found all four camera’s, put in my Foscam user name and password and that’s it! I can view all camera’s at one time, individually, set it up for motion detection, full screen option and more! Thanks so much for such a wonderful app, free I might mention too! I love it and appreciate the speed and ease of set up saving me time during my very busy day:)

I recently purchased and installed several Foscam IP cameras. I was impressed with the camera hardware but as many others have mentioned, the Foscam app leaves much to be deisred. My biggest frustration with it being the sluggish performance when accessing the cameras remotely as well as some stability issues. I did some searching and came across OWLR. What a huge difference! The OWLR app is rock solid (very stable). The setup was a snap. The performance on the LAN could not be better and the performance externally is very good. The support is also very responsive and top notch. I sent a message in asking about the status of alerts on OWLR for Foscam and I got a very prompt and professional response that alerts are in the later stages of development. I look forward to those new features being incorporated. I'll probably dump the Foscam app altogether once OWLR alerts arrive.

Since changing iOS devices (new iPhone) my paid motion alerts stopped working. I looked to see if I needed to re-register and went through the process right up until the end where the robot said I’m already registered. I emailed OWLER support about this and was told I am NOT registered. Well, I can’t, since I already am! That was the last I heard from anyone at OWLER even after many emails for weeks. Yesterday the motion alerts magically started working again likely because of a new billing cycle, but now I can’t shut them off! Once again I emailed support and have been completely ignored. So my only alternative is to cancel my motion alert subscription and send my endless string of alerts I can’t shut off to the spam folder which could possibly get OWLER blacklisted on my email provider. So now I get to find a new app that really works. Think twice about using this app because trying to get this to work, and now trying to remove it from my email has proved impossible

I have a Foscam R2 camera. All the other apps work just fine for video and panning. I have all my cameras set up with motion detector and to send me email with snap shots when they detect motion. The bothersome thing about the newer R2 series is that their motion detector works differently and the remote apps will not turn it on and off which is irritating if you have noisy motion and just need to turn it off momentarily. I got this app because it said it supports the R2 camera and it does connect but then when I went to see if I could enable and disable motion detect I found out they don’t allow you to connect to that feature in the camera without you paying a subscription fee And I still don’t know if it will actually work on the R2 camera...
