Security Warning

by changing the default username and/or password. Input a username and/or password that is at least 8 – 10

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

FOSCAM FI8910W is an integrated wireless IP Camera with a color CMOS sensor. It combines
a high quality digital video camera, with a powerful web server, to bring clear video to your
desktop from anywhere on your local network or over the Internet.
The basic function of IPCAM is transmitting remote video on the IP network. The high quality
video image can be transmitted with 30fps speed on the LAN/WAN by using MJPEG hardware
compression technology.
With flexible 300-degree pan and 120-degree tilt, FI8910W gives users more comprehensive
control over a monitored site. FI8910W supports IR-CUT, when light conditions turns poor, the IR
cut filter will be automatically removed to accept IR illumination. Meanwhile, the camera switches
itself automatically from color to black and white, assuring optimal image quality at all times.
