Security Warning

Safeguarding Your Privacy
Foscam cameras require good security practices to safeguard your privacy. You can help protect
your camera by changing the default username and/or password. Input a username and/or
password that is at least 8 – 10 characters or longer. Try to use a combination of lower-case and
upper-case letters as well as numbers and special characters. The more complex the username
and password, the harder it will be to guess by an unauthorized user.
You should update your camera regularly at http://www.foscam.us/firmware.html. Make sure
your camera has the latest firmware installed for your specific camera model. The latest firmware
for Foscam cameras utilizes protection against various types of online hacking, cracking, and
unauthorized access. Doing so will make your device more secure, may add features, and will
contain bug fixes to make your device work faster.
