Free cloud recording? Can't any camera rercord the clouds? I mean you just point and shoot right?

I suppose, but HomeMonitor provides the clouds! Seriously, though, they provide online storage for the video the camera records. 7 days for free, and 30 days for a small monthly fee. You do need a WiFi network. Note also that thisHD camera is an INDOOR camera, so you'll have to point it out a window for clouds, or run your humidity way up inside your home!

Haven't done it myself but if you really wanted to you could set up a machine with a screen capture going and that would record all that was coming in - like Camtasia. Think you'd really need to tweak the settings to not fill up a 100gb/hour or something absurd

easy way: after install this program on your second PC, click record icon, and don't turn off pc, it will record in 24hr. ...I dont know how to direct upload to cloud ..

Being somewhat good with tech I bought this camera expecting to find a workaround allowing local recording but was unsuccessful. Dropcam has gone out of their way ensuring they continue profiting off you after your initial purchase. You can view live (delayed) video for free but $200 for that ability only is rediculous.

Can you view these cameras from a android smart phone? I also understand these camers record to a SD card? If so, is there any other way to record? Thanks

I was wrong. about the camera not taking 3-D video. It does. I was going from memory, and since I didn't buy the camera for video, I assumed it didn't shoot video. However, after checking it out, it does. It is a red/blue video, like the still pictures.

Why are you still using a contour? they went out of cusiness like 3 years ago. Go buy a gopro. The software is unsuported now.

no dev nor support for this product. Had been complaint with no respond and fix. My cloud app not working for 3 months now and I have 3 of this expensive and now useless web cam. I finally switched to dropcam. so easy to co figure and has continued support and dev.

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.

It appears that it is saved to the memory card, not the cloud. You do have the option to download videos to your phone from the cameras memory card. You would have to do it before the crook unplugs it though.

I use it with Sensr.net. It's an NVR in the cloud. One month storage, $9.95 for the first camera, $4.95 for additional cameras.

You absolutely positively do NOT need nor want Blueiris. It's useless! I'm not a computer genius but it took me about a week of testing before setting it up perfectly. Didn't You get the foscam setup CD? The video recording is great and easy. I also use FOSCAM Pro app on my iPad and iPhone ($4.99) and this makes all the apps amazing. Anyways you can do video recordings and they are very easy to do. Just use the FOSCAM pro, there is a button for recording. Seriously, Blueiris is not necessary. Do you have 1,2 or 3 cameras? And are you going to use them for your cell phone, computer (which kind), or cell phone and computer. You absolutely positively do NOT need nor want Blueiris. It's useless!

I don't know, James, because we sent the camera back! Something that only records for 10 seconds when it activates was not what we needed. We got a netcam instead! Goggling the camera model doesn't turn up anything?

I do not pay for any subscription, however, you can link it to the Cloud storage for free trial period and then pay for that after the trial period. I do not use the Cloud.

Also, I see some folks saying that third party software is required...this is not true. The webpage built into the camera allows you to record to the local computer that the webpage is brought up on...ok so no, you don't need another software, unless you want to record as a DVR or NVR, meaning the webpage doesn't have to be up, but the DVR/NVR application has to be running.

I don't know. I don't know how to do videos or if my camera even does it! Sorry.

I have never been able to get the camera to record more than a few seconds of video. I have not taken the time to figure it out. I think that I should not HAVE to figure it out. You put in an SD card, you record, you replay, you're happy! Not this one.
