The new Foscam E1 battery powered home DIY security camera kit

Published: 23 July 2018

Foscam South Africa is proud to announce the launch of its latest addition to its DIY product range.

The Foscam E1, is a wire-free battery powered home security camera system that eliminates the requirement for any wires or power sockets. If you don’t consider yourself tech savvy and require a reliable home security camera system that you can monitor from anywhere, then this an ideal solution for you. With its weatherproof IP65 design you can install it wherever you want, indoor or outdoor, no more ugly wires, no more ugly holes in the walls, no waste of a day to install, it’s completely hassle-free!In the past, installing an IP camera system for your home required a professional to do it since it needed cables as well as an extra recorder (NVR) to record and store the video taken.

Nowadays, wireless cameras are here to replace the good old wired ones, offering better specs and services. The Foscam E1 is a perfect example that home-surveillance can be installed by anyone. The Foscam E1 is a refreshing take on a market, it works both indoors and outdoors, and is completely wire-free since it is powered by a big rechargeable battery. Also, it offers a free 1GB cloud storage that allows for up to 7 days of recording history to be accessed. Whenever a motion or sound is detected, the captured clips will be synchronized to the cloud for 7 day’s free storage. It supports 1080p video stream making for clear and crisp video. The magnetic mount makes installation and moving around the house super easy.The E1 system consists of one camera and a Wi-Fi base station that is used to connect with the router. You can connect up to 4 cameras to one E1 HUB at the same time. You can also purchase these cameras individually, to completely cover the whole house. Foscam South Africa offers local support together with the international company for peace of mind.

So should you consider buying a Foscam E1? If you are planning to use it to keep an eye on your home when you are away, and confused with the complicated settings of those overloaded security cameras then this wire-free security camera should be an option. The camera has a solid feel, looks sleek and modern with a completely wire-free design. It also meets the IP65 weatherproof standard which means you can install it indoor or outdoor with the provided magnetic base, without invasive drilling or wiring required. Powered by 5000mAh rechargeable battery it allows for placement virtually anywhere. When the battery needs to be charged, the Foscam App will send notifications to your smartphone. You can also check the battery status conveniently anytime right from the App. You could use the Foscam E1 as a doorbell camera during the daytime, or leave the camera outside the front door when your away from home, or place it in your little angel’s room to monitor while she is sleeping.

However keep in mind that battery cameras like the E1 are good for monitor areas that users seldom visit. For heavy traffic areas we recommend that you rather use a normal DC powered Foscam Wi-Fi camera. This is because high traffic areas will deplete the battery faster. If you require 24 viewing on a screen then battery powered cameras are not the way to go.

The Foscam E1 supports full HD 1080p (1920*1080) video for live viewing or playback as well as two-way audio so you can talk with your family anywhere using the free Foscam App from your smartphone.

This camera features night vision up to 25 feet in low light or even total dark. It has a wide-angle Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor and the advanced human detection algorithm for detecting moving heat objects, such as human or animals. This eliminates false positive movement like branches moved by the wind. The E1 will record the movement then and send a snapshot push notification right to your smartphone.

Setting up this Foscam E1 is extremely easy thanks to its strong 802.11n 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection powered by a Broadcom chipset. The camera comes paired with the E1 Base Station, all you need to do is just scan the QR code with your smartphone and you’re all set! Adding additional cameras to the Base Station is just a tap away with the convenient sync button pairing option.

The difference between CCTV and Wireless IP Cameras

Published: 01 February 2017

We have all seen movies where the cops view surveillance footage. They have reams of video that they use to trace events and sometimes zoom in on certain parts of the video being viewed. The funny thing is that in reality, if they had to zoom in, the image would actually get worse and the image would pixelate further.

Luckily we live in modern times where technology is constantly improving. As a result we now have the IP camera or wireless camera which has taken the place of the dated CCTV as we know it. IP cameras can range in cost from really cheap (and nasty), to extremely expensive (used in high end operations).

IP means ‘internet protocol’ and refers to cameras that can send or receive digital video data by means of a network. Wireless IP cameras still need to be plugged in for power, but the ‘wireless’ part refers to the fact that they can pickup a network wirelessly once configured. As far as picture quality goes, IP cameras will win hands down. Even the most basic IP camera would have superior image quality over old analogue cameras.

Analogue cameras will be able to manage the equivalent of less than half a megapixel.IP cameras have an extremely wide field of view meaning one IP camera can possibly do the work of 3 or 4 CCTV cameras.

Video analytics allows you to setup motion detection triggers. It is no longer necessary to trawl through reams of video footage.The old DVR (Digital Video Recorder) is now being replaced with an NVR (Network video recorder). This device allows you to record footage.

A network switch can be used to power numerous cameras and transmit the internet signal. A single wire will run from the switch to the NVR. This is far less labour intensive and means fewer cables need to run. Whereas traditional DVR’s need each camera to be connected directly to the device.

Setting up a new security system can be costly and confusing, given all of the different options now made available to you. But if you want to keep abreast with technology, the benefits of an IP camera system will far outweigh an analogue system. If you would like to purchase an IP camera, that is excellent quality and well priced, then logon to www.foscam.co.za

Foscam has a wide range of indoor and outdoor cameras that are all reasonalby priced. Often they have an IP camera sale.
