Manual of product C2
Editorial note
The Foscam C2 camera stands out with its Full HD resolution at 1080p, providing images of exceptional clarity, which is ideal for photography and video. Its compact bar format design facilitates integration into various spaces, thus optimizing space usage. Additionally, the night vision feature with IR LEDs ensures image clarity even in darkness, enhancing the security of your environment. The flexible connectivity, including wired and wireless options, allows for convenient installation without the constraints of cables. However, the product has some drawbacks. The lack of internal storage requires the use of an external solution to keep video recordings. Moreover, the absence of PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) control limits the adjustment of the viewing angle, which can be a disadvantage for certain installations requiring dynamic monitoring. The night vision distance of 7.92 meters may also be insufficient for larger spaces, making surveillance less effective in low-light conditions. Finally, although compatible with several Windows operating systems, integration with other platforms may pose issues. Overall, the Foscam C2 offers good value for money, with solid performance and a positive user experience thanks to its Plug and Play functionality. Nevertheless, the limitations in terms of storage and view adjustment may restrict its use in certain situations.Score details
