Hi,
is the new firmware ready for download already?

I downloaded the software called "The upgrade software for IP Cam, version 1.1" from cd.gocam.so (Smart upgrade tool).

First, my "admin" and password is rejected. It keeps on saying login name or password is wrong. I changed the password back to default "88888" and still did not accept.

In frustration, I keep on clicking the "upgrade system" button and an information window pop-up telling "upgrading firmware, please wait". What ??

However, no progress bar shown on screen, so after a while, checked the fimrware again. It's the same.

My Firmware version is: 48.2.64.178 and my web UI version (on IE) is: TH2.0.1.20.


Help????

You already got the latest firmware. BTW, I noticed that their auto-upgrade firmware tool, better to download the one for T Series (but from the section without the Pangolin PnP). This way, you can control to upgrade the system firmware first, then manually select to upgrade the web UI later. I find this better than the FULL AUTOMATED upgrade which may "crash" due to some bug.

Hope this helps.

bro, i think u already got the latest available firmware. I just bought T7838WIP from Challenger yesterday. Image is definitely better than the Foscam FI8918W which i have due to T7838WIP is 720p. However, encounter few times the camera disconnected itself(wireless). Have changed the wireless channel to between 1 to 11(previously 1 to 13) and will monitor further....

Hi,

The above firmware (Firmware version is: 48.2.64.178 and web UI version is: TH2.0.1.20) I mentioned has been with me since I got the cam on 10th June.

But Marix mentioned last week that a new firmware is coming soon - so it shouldn't be this one. The newer firmware promise for some fix for "trigger happy" motion detector (i've 300++ notification when sensitivity is set to 1 or 10, i've got less notification when i set to 5 - around 200++).

But since neither your nor Geckosg knows about newer firmware, I suppose, they are not release yet.

Post your config and problem here. I have the same model, and it is functionally identical to the SMCWIPCAM model.

I think I know which model U bought... It was launched at $139, about 2 weeks later dropped to $109... I think by IT show time, it will drop below $100 Range. D-Link products once you wait long enuff, pricing drop til very low like clearance pricing.:)

Not official released. Cos MARIX knows if things r not fixed. Dun declare fix. Tat's why I like to buy from them stuffs. They r testing now if new firmware solves the motion detection portion.

Synology & Aztech IP Cam Compatibility

Dear all,
As my Aztech IP Cam is not on the compatibility list, I would like to know if anyone has experience with the above combination and whether it could achieve motion detection recording?
Thanks very much.

Aztech shares the same OEM as Foscam.

Hi,

Want to check, if anyone knows the 2 models from Vstarcam, T7837wip and T7838wip, have 2 way Audio ? I have the older model and it is 1 way audio.

Third party apps like IP Cam Viewer by Robert Chou supports 2 way audio if the hardware allows for 2 way audio.

hi guys - just bought the Aztech HD IP cam -
I realize a few things -

it takes very long to load - like 30s before you see anything, sometimes just black screen and have to reconnect.

panning on camera doesn't seem to work - using Samsung note2 - swipe and swipe but nothing.

video*** - on my app, all I see is black and white?? I wonder what is wrong. even with max quality setting (which just means 1280x720). and when I use that mode, streaming is extremely laggy - hell every mode is extremely laggy. even when camera is plugged directly to router at home, and my phone connecting to wifi at home.

sound - via the android app, 3 options provided. mute, listen, speak. seems like you cannot do 2 way voice. in anycase, listen option = sounds very jarbled. speak option = doesn't seem to work - when I speak thru the phone, nothing from the camera.

however I do notice audio in/out - will try it out somehow with separate speaker/mic maybe. even tho the device seems to have a crappy mic inside.

motion detection - it does some weird motion detection which isn't that useful. I wish it just lets me move the camera easily and freely.

lights - also, it is bright with blinking blue and red lights. at night, it lights up my living room very clearly. not sure what to say about this. =\

the plus points - which is greatly overwhelmed by the above - the android app nicely recognizes the device via scanning the QR code.

also - asiaone actually gave this camera a 8/10 review lol. cannot believe it.

I have no idea why quality is so bad. is my expectations too high? or technology not there yet? =\ hope someone can give some advice.

Ah Neh, you can try to upgrade your firmware using the Upgrade Tool, I tested a bit on mail setting, got some improvement.

Not so much of false alarm already on the T Series. Latest is .190 & webUI is .22. VStarcam also got new SCARY feature, if got motion detection, the camera can produce a scary SIREN sound. Very Spooky feature they added in.

Also, leaked news... Recordng with AUDIO will be released somewhere in September or early October.
