Important Notice

Camera Username & Password

The camera username & password are used to access and manage your camera. Having a strong password can improve the security of your camera significantly.

If you have forgotten either of them, please press the "Reset" button and hold it for more than 15 seconds while the camera is powered on. After hearing the voice prompt (if the device is connected with the audio output device), release the button. The camera will automatically reboot and the default settings will be restored. The default username / password will then become admin / (blank), respectively.

After restoring to the factory default settings, please delete the camera from Foscam App, and then add it again.

Foscam Cloud Service Account Username & Password

Your Foscam Cloud service account and password may be used to access both Foscam App and the Foscam Cloud service website. Therefore, you may register the account username & password on either one.

Storage Media

Our camera supports cloud, NVR (Network Video Recorder), and Micro SD card (only supports FAT-32 format) storage formats. If you wish to record and playback large amounts of video, we recommend using a Foscam NVR device as well.
