So, let’s talk about how we can successfully do a Foscam Setup by following some easy steps. I will show you how you can set up your Foscam camera by following the QR Code Method. To access the QR code, you will need the Foscam App on your smartphone, and then you can easily configure your camera.
This process will need to enter the WIFI details into the Foscam app, and then a picture of the barcode will appear on your smartphone. Then you have to point your phone screen at the camera, and then the camera can automatically configure itself with the login information for the WIFI network.
