On sale at Amazon, with Prime delivery available. Great quality camera. Been using one to monitor the front of my house for a year or so, connected via my Synology NAS. Lovely wide angle view and excellent quality image during the day or night. Going back for another at this price.
STOCK UPDATE:
Just to add that Foscam have messaged me to say that they had 700 pcs going to Amazon (plus another 100), for some reason only 380pcs were booked in and they are awaiting the other 320pcs which should hopefully be the next day or so, as well as the additional 100.
They didn't expect to sell 380pcs in less than 24 hours! Great work HUKD!
So if you're still interested in getting one, then watch this space

are the drivers there on synology NAS, and works ok with ds cam app? save motion on sinology rather than the foscam cloud?

I use Surveillance Station on mine, so yes, it records motion directly to the NAS and I use the Synology DSCam app to view when away from the house. You can use the Foscam app if you prefer - I only used that for initial setup. It can use ONVIF, so simple to add to the NAS.

Love how this is #1 in 'spy cameras' on Amazon. The secret agent in me really wants to get one :skull_crossbones:

can I use this to record and store the video on my network PC instead or in addition to the onboard storage?
DJDunk to simba2585

Yes. It supports FTP and other protocols, so depending on what software you want to use on the PC, it will likely work with it.

sounds good , I tried to setup an FTP to my PC using my R7500 netgear router (so I could access the files anywhere) but seems I cant based on my IP address. I assume I can create a local FTP server somehow using the necessary software. recommend any?

You should be able to setup FTP using this guide: kb.netgear.com/238…ter - a non-static IP address shouldn't matter since it uses Dynamic DNS.
Set the camera to send snapshots or recordings using this to the USB attached to the router. Then use ReadyCLOUD to access the files from anywhere: readycloud.netgear.com/cli…tml

Expire this deal now and un-expire when stock is actually available.
It could be next week before new stock go up, so don't waste people's time.

Yes! If people see this deal is active, they will click through to amazon. To be greeted with the price at £56.99. Total waste of time given the deal states the price is £29.99.

Did they patch the security flaws found in Foscam ip cameras?
"We've conducted a thorough review and fixed all issues with firmware upgrades where necessary," the company said in an emailed statement. "The 18 items cited in the report were actually so minor in nature as to be virtually non-existent. ... There were therefore zero reports of any security breaches ever occurring in any products used by customers, due to the extremely improbable nature of the exploits."
Always make sure you're internet connected devices have up-to-date firmware and change any default logins where possible.

I haven't got a NAS or a local online PC, can I still use the Push notifications etc, or do I have to have a cloud account from these people?

Lots of ways to work around it, ranging from using the inbuilt email server to a combination of alternative camera apps, other cloud storage and Tasker depending on what you want to achieve.
You don't need use their cloud.

I don't work for Foscam. It's called being helpful. You clearly have nothing of value to add. Enjoy liking your own posts, goodnight :thumbsup:
