CMS software. For the installation file and user guide for the CMS

software, please refer to the Foscam IP Camera Client user

manual in the CD.

If you use a mobile device that runs iOS or Android, you can
use our free app, 

Foscam Viewer

, to access the camera

through the LAN or Internet. Let’s use the iPhone app in the
following example. The user interface and operations in the
Android app are similar to those in the iPhone app.

When you finish QR code scanning, the UID will be input 

automatically, then input the 

Device Name

Firstly, make sure your mobile device and the camera are

connected to the same router. Tap on the app icon to open
the app. In the IPC section on the bottom, click the        button. 
Your phone will go into QR code scanning mode.
