It has audio, which never worked with the Foscam pro app so I used a 3rd Party app. Foscam was recently bought by Amcrest, so the old Foscam models should be discounted by now. I would hope the Amcrest brand is easier to set up than Foscam. I'm a tech person and I found it to be difficult to install due to their software. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-foscam-compatability-and-questions#post-2770026 Sat, 26 Aug 2017 20:11:05 +0000 skipra 2770026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our 2 were the same model I think so I can't speak to compatibility with different models. My DH is the tech guy so I don't know anything about setting them up. When we were using both we could view both monitors at the same time or just select one to view full screen, take pictures, pan around, talk to the baby, etc. It was annoying that if you really wanted to see what was going on in one room full screen you wouldn't be watching the other room at all.<br /> Also, how far apart are your kids? My older 2 are less than 2 years apart and we only used the monitor for my oldest for a few months after our second was born. Depends on your kid - if they get out of bed a lot or if your room is not nearby or whatever - but you might want to think about if your really need two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-foscam-compatability-and-questions#post-2770013 Sat, 26 Aug 2017 16:46:24 +0000 birdofafeather 2770013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we didn't get the newest each time and they are both compatible with the foscam pro app. we can pan and tilt and do audio each way. i think you can set up those options to save videos from within the cameras parameters if i recall correctly. we have the 8910s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-foscam-compatability-and-questions#post-2770010 Sat, 26 Aug 2017 16:13:46 +0000 DesertDreams88 2770010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Foscam that was purchased 2 years ago, model number FI9821P V2 , version 2.2. We will need to register for / buy a 2nd one for baby #2. Are the newer foscams compatible with the same app? I know that sounds like a dumb question, but I'm not a techie-type person. </p> <p>The Foscam we have doesn't have motion detection pictures or video storage - like, we can take pics or videos ourselves if we are watching, but it doesn't take or store videos or pics by itself if something were happening in the crib/room. It also can't zoom in. I'd like both of those features, if possible, for a decent price.</p> <p>I was looking at these 3 and wasn't sure if the extra features were worth the money? </p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H3Q8QB4?colid=3F6DJOZR1OZ67&#038;coliid=I2GX84V0V6WDSN&#038;ref=br_ADD_TO_CART_title_link" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H3Q8QB4?colid=3F6DJOZR1OZ67&#038;coliid=I2GX84V0V6WDSN&#038;ref=br_ADD_TO_CART_title_link</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0131PHDQY?colid=3F6DJOZR1OZ67&#038;coliid=I2P2IWSEFCVSTQ&#038;ref=br_ADD_TO_CART_title_link" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0131PHDQY?colid=3F6DJOZR1OZ67&#038;coliid=I2P2IWSEFCVSTQ&#038;ref=br_ADD_TO_CART_title_link</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Foscam-FI9826PB-Megapixel-Optical-Wireless/dp/B00JOAL4GG/ref=dp_ob_title_ce" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Foscam-FI9826PB-Megapixel-Optical-Wireless/dp/B00JOAL4GG/ref=dp_ob_title_ce</a><br /> (newest but man it's expensive!) </p>
