Look & Feel

As a manufacturer, Foscam spends a lot of time on the design of its cameras. This Foscam R4M is a perfect example of an aesthetically appealing design. The camera shows a great similarity with an eyeball, iris and pupil. This recognisability also has a positive effect on the human brain. At least, this has been told to us from time to time. In any case, the camera does not seem intimidating to us.

Beautiful design

The holder is shaped nice and slim, and does not look out of place indoors. The color of the camera is either white, which does not make it stand out when mounted near the ceiling, or black. This allows the camera to be mounted almost invisibly in a dark corner. In combination with the screwable wifi antenna, this camera makes you think of a loyal pet a bit. Whatever the design philosophy, we experience it as an attractive design.

The camera has a brass screw mount on the bottom side, with which it can be screwed to the supplied wall/ceiling bracket. The left side has a micro-SD card slot, the right side has a reset button, and on the back there are connectors for the wifi antenna, RJ45 network cable and the power adapter. The LEDs indicate if and how the camera is connected to the network. Above, the housing contains both a loudspeaker and microphone for two-way communication. This makes this Foscam R4M an ideal camera for, say, a small waiting room or a reception desk.

Easy to place anywhere and in any way
