DH had no issues setting it up, but the static IP address kept resetting.. or something.. so he'd have to reset it every week or so. Drove me nuts! Hope yours works better :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foscam-owners-a-question-oka-bunch#post-923893 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 17:28:07 +0000 Grace 923893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a rediculous amount of static with my foscam. I'm guessing we just have too many wireless things in the house. I'd hold onto your sound monitor until you know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foscam-owners-a-question-oka-bunch#post-923783 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:45:40 +0000 lovehoneybee 923783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Yep, that's it! It was super helpful! </p> <p>I'll admit it was kind of a pain to set up but I LOVE it. My favorite is spying when DH goes in if he wakes up at night. Seeing DH rocking DS to sleep makes my ovaries explode. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foscam-owners-a-question-oka-bunch#post-923767 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:38:41 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 923767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: thanks! I just searched you and found the video you posted in another thread on Foscams. So, I guess that's it because it is about setting it up for other networks, right?<br /> I think i'll get one for now and see how it goes. I'm excited to be able to see him in his playroom. Right now, every time I walk away to answer the door or check on dinner, I have to bring him along because I don't like him being without supervision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foscam-owners-a-question-oka-bunch#post-923722 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:29:42 +0000 lovehoneybee 923722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1) I'm not sure, but you can move back and forth.<br /> 2) With our app we can add multiple cameras. I don't know what the limit is but when we were testing we had at least 4 entries in it (we have the FOSCAM pro app) so you can have at least that many cameras.<br /> 3) I assume as many people as you want (provided they have the app). DH often peeks in during his lunch break.<br /> 4) Very sensitive sound. I can hear things from other rooms through it (that I wouldn't be able to hear in the nursery).<br /> 5) I'm pretty sure this is the one I have: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006ZPWS4U/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?qid=1373577971&#038;sr=8-5&#038;pi=SL75" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006ZPWS4U/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?qid=1373577971&#038;sr=8-5&#038;pi=SL75</a></p> <p>I did have some problems setting it up--first I needed to make my computer's IP address static, and then had to get another IP address for the app. I found a great instructional YouTube video, though. I'm on vacation until next weekend but I'm sure I can find it for you if you want.</p> <p>ETA: you can also talk through it into the nursery bought I've found that E hates that. And I'm not particularly computer-savvy but I was able to make it work--it took a video but I assume if I can do it pretty much anyone can, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foscam-owners-a-question-oka-bunch#post-923683 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:18:39 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 923683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: oh, that's awesome that i'll tilt to see other areas of a room! And i've heard of the technical issues it can have with IP codes and what not, I am hoping that won't be an issue for my very computer savvy husband. If it's too much for him, then i'd return it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foscam-owners-a-question-oka-bunch#post-923644 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:08:09 +0000 immabeetoo 923644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sold ours after technical difficulties and wanting a travel one but ill chirp in that it zooms and tilts so you can basically see anywhere in the room. Anyone who has the app can peek in from their phone or ipad. I used a separate sound monitor to save phone battery but I think I read that you can have it alert you if sound is made then pull the app up.</p> <p>I can look on my eBay sold later if you want to know the model I had... I miss the quality of the image and the pan/tilt function but we just couldn't get it to be reliable for some reason with our IP address. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/foscam-owners-a-question-oka-bunch#post-923583 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:56:27 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 923583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1- If I have 2 babies sleeping in the same room, will the foscam's view be wide enough to show me 2 cribs? If I set it up above their beds?</p> <p>2- I want to get a 2nd cam for the playroom so I can watch my toddler even if I have to leave the room with the baby. Can I use the same app to switch from camera to camera? </p> <p>3- how many people can be set up to the camera? Like, will my husband be able to see the baby from work if he wanted to?</p> <p>4- Does it have sound capabilities? Or should I keep my sound monitor in there as well?</p> <p>5- what model do you have? There are 2 different ones on NBD and i'm confused.</p> <p>Tell any anything else I might need to know, if you'd like to share! I am really wanting 2 under 2, and if the foscam can show both cribs, I can get away with only one cam for the nursery. </p>
