anyone involved with clones are bad for the industry and the innocent people that spend hard earned money Clones are what they call cameras made that resemble the original Foscam camera. Not even sure if Foscam was the first one to make a camera that looks like it does. What I learned from one of these companies is that in China, there's companies that make the components, like the lenses, the electronics and the plastics and several manufacturers buy the same plastics but the electronics, the firmware may be very different. These cameras were buggy and poorly made and Foscam offered firmware upgrades that people tried to use on non-Foscam cameras that looked the same and bricked their cameras which clearly made them angry. From my experience with Foscam is they have a short life expectancy. Had them fail in 3 days and 3 months. Frankly, don't know why anyone would make a copy of Foscam. If I was going to make cheap copies, I would start with a $1,500 camera, not a $80 camera You don't see people on street corners in NYC selling fake copies of Timex watches. IMHO, I think it's like anything. One example would be vehicles. There are more cheaper vehicles than expensive vehicles manufactured. I think it's great that someone can get cheap IP security cameras, as long as they understand why they are so cheap. Don

Please re-read my prior post, I modified it. There is no theft involved in what I am referencing. Don

anyone involved with clones are bad for the industry and the innocent people that spend hard earned money I am not talking about clones that use defective parts or that don't perform well. There are many MJPEG and H.264 cameras that are using the exact same firmware for example, with custom UI's and simply re-branded. Even the ("exact") same hardware components.

anyone involved with clones are bad for the industry and the innocent people that spend hard earned money Some people have them, and wish to use them. In many cases, they have no idea, that what they purchased was a clone. Also, there are good and bad clones. I am not talking about clones that use defective parts or that don't perform well. There are many MJPEG and H.264 cameras that are using the exact same firmware for example, with custom UI's. Don

While these examples are for Foscam MJPEG and H.264 cameras and their clones. Most likely, something like this, can and could be done for your camera: Here are two example that work. One with MJPEG and one with H.264 Foscam and Wansview and their clones, IP cameras: MJPEG Example: http://foscam.us/forum/free-generic-browser-interface-for-foscam-ip-mjpeg-cameras-t2522.html H.264 Example: http://foscam.us/forum/free-generic-browser-interface-for-foscam-ip-h-264-cameras-t2686.html Don
