According to our IP camera expert
With the Foscam R2 indoor camera, you can keep an eye on your home, child, or pet on your smartphone day and night. You can watch and listen to a live feed on a smartphone app, whenever and wherever you'd like. You can use the camera as a baby monitor, or as a security camera for when you're not at home. With the app, you can pan or tilt the camera remotely, allowing you to monitor everything clearly. The lens allows you to zoom in, without reducing image quality. When the camera detects any movement or sound, you'll receive a notification on your smartphone. Use the app to set up triggers of the moments that you want your IP camera to send push notifications to your smart device. This way, you keep in control of the information you want to receive.

First, a pity that there are few good brands available at coolblue in this range. (HD + PTZ + Mobile + NAS) Finally ended up with the R2 because of the higher image quality. Installation went smoothly, but because storage with Foscam is paid, you have to try to connect it to your NAS. You will find very little information about this.
After a week of testing I have the following conclusion:
Even on a straight line with the router, in WiFi mode but also with a network cable, the cam does not succeed in continuously transmitting eg 720p image. Not to the web app via IP number on your local network, and certainly not from outside via the foscam mobile app. I gradually lowered the quality, and even at 640x480 at 15fps and 512kbps I had about 20sec every minute. black image. On remote pan the cam always responds for min 10sec. later. (Luckily the cam didn't have to serve as a security cam)
In my opinion, the camera does not succeed in transmitting all images smoothly. Furthermore, the Foscam software is very broken (Chinese), with here and there even untranslated screens. The mobile app crashes regularly and the web app regularly shows your cam offline.
Meanwhile bought a FI9826W, settings: 720p, 25fps 2Mbps and it just does what it should.
But one thing is clear: Foscam still has a lot to learn, and Coolblue would do well to include other brands in its range.

We bought the camera because our two dogs occasionally get into mischief and we wanted to know who of the two is the initiator. With the installation of this camera we found out that they actually sleep 7.5 hours and spend that half hour looking for something to do that they are not allowed to do. What's handy with this camera is that you can talk at the touch of a button! This way you can call out to your dogs that are doing something wrong. It turns out not to be very efficient: the dogs just look up and then continue with what they are doing... Nevertheless, it is nice to watch your dogs sleeping all day, how they peacefully switch their positions and occasionally scratch their ear. It really improves your mood during your work! :-) In addition, you can also check your sweetheart who comes home in the afternoon and see if he is not too long in the sofa ;-)

Finding the second mac address is very difficult. You need this 2nd MAC address for wireless reception, so that you can set up your router. You cannot disable the microphone both hardware and software. But all in all, I now have 2 R2 cameras and am very satisfied!
