So it this unit pretty much a Foscam PTZ without the PTZ? Otherwise the same admin interface & functionality?

Hi. I recommend you spend a little bit more. Go for the Foscam FI8910W. The first model very often you have to reboot it because it losts its wireless connection. The second model is more stable.

That is correct but I would suggest you look for a ptz model on sale - it does not cost much more.

Double check on the swann website about the resolution. It does support 1 PTZ camera, but the ones that come with the system are fixed.

Foscam has Mac IP Camera Tool software on their website. Have both PC and MAC, setup completed on PC. Able to access on MAC by entering the camera website. Connected 2nd 8918W in about 20 minutes, then just had to walk myself back through port forwarding and static IP sets. Instructions no bad, they read like most manuals these days, as a chinese interpretation.

The one i bought early in July 13 did not. It was 1 revision back but was easily upgraded through the foscam web site.

Nick W. pretty well described the setup, the most important connection IS the + and - connections for the rs485 to the camera. The PTZ camera comes with "defaults" and shouldn't have to be changed for the remote to work.....

I don't use the built-in options of the camera for that purpose.I have the Blue Iris software running which handles the alerting for my cameras. That actually works really good and fast.

You can.That's basically how I set mine up.Call foscam support if you get stuck anywhere.Some find the portforwarding settings a bit confusing. Just fyi. Support is very helpful, they can remote access your pc if need be.

This is a stationary camera, it cannot replace a PTZ camera. Please visit our PTZ camera at: http://www.amazon.com/Effio-s-Camera-optical-digital-distance/dp/B00JUAJ2NW/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1399999807&sr=1-1&keywords=gw027

You need to use controller on the camera. It doesn't work with PTZ option. Manual control located right before the camera on the wire.

This unit does not have power or dvr capability. It's merely a replacement for your CCTV camera.

no software. firmware built in. you can have it email when motion is detected. motion detection not foolproof. if I were to buy another camera I would probably not buy foscam

Sorry Blake, I'm totally disgusted with Foscam cameras and software in general. I spent a great deal of money on cameras and software and I'm still not able to use the purchased items. No support, in spite of many phone calls to the support phone help. No answer when calling support. I would not recommend Foscam to anyone. I lost, Foscam gained.

from my knowledge no its not -i have the foscam and i have no way of linking them together.It would however really enhance your security system in having video surveillance

No, you will need to purchase a controller or use the ptz controller that comes with your dvr if applicable.

You can connect the camera to a DVR or a monitor using a BNC to RCA adapter. The camera and PTZ power is supplied with an adapter. This camera also works with my remote control via the DVR and my iPhone, PTZ functions work great~!
