Most of the FI8910W:
- Respectable image quality in this resolution with accurate color through the IR-cut (nothing to do with the FI8918W) and an auto-focus works well.
- IR LED effective (especially indoors where the scope is respected).
- Ability to turn off (or turn on) IR LED manually.
- Micro very sensitive.
- French manual in PDF on the CD.
The - the FI8910W:
- Web Interface very basic IE and frankly not nice (and impractical) in FF for LiveCam part not to mention some functions that are not even available in FF.
- Inability to name the preset positions: one must be content with numbers.
- Wifi winded: I had to move my wifi repeater to avoid disconnections. With just a wall to cross and a signal of -50 dBm, the camera still manages to win when rotated in certain directions. The radical solution was to plug in the Ethernet which allows for unparalleled fluidity during rotations and moving images.
For those who still wonder about the outdoor use of such a camera (shelter of course), I have a friend who has a FI8918W (the old version of the FI8910W) under a roof ledge a cottage in a ski resort in the Alps. Without any other special protection that the shelter rainfall and with temperatures frequently below -20 ° C in winter, it's been 3 years since she works 24/24! He has installed other since under the same conditions and everyone is satisfied. This shows that the electronics in an indoor camera itself is the same as that of an external camera. Remains well protected from the weather, and that's why Foscam released a dome (with which you have to however you spend LED IR).
