Foscam R2<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Foscam R2 is the latest IP wireless Wi-Fi camera model by Foscam Inc. it boasts of a full 1080p HD video recording with crisp 2way audio which means both parties can hear themselves from each end. The Foscam R2 was released in 2016 as a replacement for the Foscam 19826P by Foscam Inc. The night vision is favorable with a depth penetration of over 26ft.<\/p>\n

Dropcam pro was introduced in 2013 by Dropcam Inc., before its acquisition by Nest Inc. the Dropcam pro has a video resolution of 720p with 130\u00b0 viewing angle coupled with a two-way audio feed. Its infrared camera makes its night vision commendable.<\/p>\n

The Dropcam pro comes with an 8x zoom functionality as does the Foscam R2 but what sets both cameras apart lies in the extra functionality of pan and tilt of 300\u00b0\/100\u00b0 that the R2 offers. The Dropcam offers a wider field of vision of 130\u00b0 than the R2 which gives a viewing angle of 110\u00b0.<\/p>\n

Both camera units offer Cloud video recording and storage but the Foscam R2 offers far more storage option like a memory card slot, NVR storage and local hard drive storage for video files.<\/p>\n

The Foscam R2 comes with motion alert smart technology that is tailored to report just human motion. \u00a0It also comes equipped with a sound alert notification to alert you based on specific sounds like the cry of a baby or glass shattering etc. making it fit as both a nannycam and a security camera.\u00a0 The Foscam also offers a 30 days cloud storage trial. Your video feeds can easily be accessed via the free mobile app, available on both iOS and android platforms or from the web.<\/p>\n
