Foscam C2 Review

The quality of the video captured during 720P HD IP Camera the day is excellent – even in low light the image is clear – as long as nothing in front of the lens moves. In one of our tests, we placed a white poster board 16 feet away, and we were able to read the top four lines, which is better than at least half of the IP cameras we tested. Motion on the live feed and recordings is choppy, though. Movement pauses and then speeds up to catch up with real time, which is a deal breaker if you’re hoping to keep videos for posterity. The video and still images we took IP Camera Onvif at night were of much lower quality. Although the camera’s invisible LED lights illuminate a far distance, they aren’t bright enough to show detail. It also created a halo effect at the center of the image that spreads out, distorting what could be seen.
