Modern life and work pulls us all in a million different directions. How can we take charge? With the Foscam R4, you can pull everything together, in one place - check in on your home, kids, pets, even your office, right in the palm of your hand. Instant access and remote viewing with our web and mobile apps means that you never have to wonder again if the kids are home from school, if the dog needs to be let out, or if you forgot to shut that window before it started pouring. Juggling life's responsibilities just got a lot easier. |
The R4 is more than a security camera, because. .. We've made security both simpler and more versatile than ever before: stay connected to what you love and never miss a moment no matter where you are. 2-Way Talk allows you to participate in the moment, not merely watch it. Your video feed is securely streamed in extraordinary 4MP detail, making it feel like you're in the same room, while remote pan/tilt even allows you to turn your view with an exceptional 300°/100° range of freedom. Our recording choices let you preserve footage how you want, when you want. Local storage is free (no monthly fees)! |
Reliability, value, and intelligence are our gold standards. Foscam wouldn't be an internationally recognized brand in security, for over seven years running, if we didn't understand that reliability, value, and intelligence are all three necessary for making an outstanding security camera. The R4 features enhanced night vision (up to 26FT) and comes equipped with highly sophisticated digital zoom (magnifies up to 8X). Say goodbye to straining and guessing at blurry, grainy, or poorly illuminated scenes: you'll enjoy crisp, well illuminated footage in true 4MP HD+. Our smart alert and motion technology even avoids false alarms (e.g. plants swaying in wind). |

True professional HD video quality. Foscam is one of the few security camera companies that doesn't source its hardware from cheap generic Chinese OEMs. We build our own hardware in-house, ensuring exceptionally solid build quality with no cut corners. The result is a truly professional HD+ 4MP stream (2560*1440p) offering incredible density of detail at a value that is unrivaled in the home security market, which is flooded with low-quality brands offering subpar 1080P or 720P video with cheaply sourced parts. |
The sleekest PTZ cam on the market. For a security camera with pan, tilt, and zoom capability, the Foscam R4 is nearly 20% smaller than the leading competitor. This inconspicuous form factor makes the R4 easy on the eyes, whether you have it mounted on your wall, table, or shelf, but you don't have to sacrifice the versatility and control that crucially let you follow and record the action when a motion alert has been triggered - even if an intruder's movements place them outside of the camera's wide 75° stationary viewing range. |
See through total darkness. Night vision is one of the areas where higher quality hardware makes the most difference. The R4's enhanced night vision uses high-intensity IR LEDs that illuminate details in crisp, clear night vision up to 26 feet away. Functions such as app push alerts and smart motion detection especially benefit from better night vision: the alerts are more sensitive and relevant, and this advantage is further enhanced by an intuitive app interface for customizing your motion sensitivity and alert settings. |
No expensive monthly fees. Choose and pay for only what you need: we believe in offering a full suite of storage options. Record video directly to an SD card (not included) by using the camera's SD slot, or send and store video by FTP, absolutely free. We even support NVRs (not included), NAS, and local hard drive recording. Our affordable Foscam Cloud service is also available to safeguard your footage from theft or damage by recording it to our secure Cloud (7 day trial included - conditions apply. Please refer the website for more information). |
