The Foscam L8M connects highly detailed 4K UHD recordings with direct live streaming via RTMP. The swivel-mounted interior camera is thus suitable for live transmissions as well as for the surveillance of interiors. Auto-tracking, intelligent detection and full duplex audio complement the versatile possibilities of the camera.
From creative posts to everyday moments, the L8M broadcasts live videos via RTMP to YouTube, Facebook and Twitch. The USB-C power supply keeps the camera ready for use, independent of a smartphone battery. Image section and camera position can be easily adjusted via the remote control - a practical basis for longer live transmissions.
The 8 megapixel CMOS sensor delivers images with 3840 x 2160 pixels. The bright 2.8 mm lens with F1.6 captures a horizontal viewing angle of 108 °. Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) supports the display with strong brightness differences, while the 20-fold digital zoom brings details in the picture closer. Eight infrared LEDs enable black-and-white night vision of up to 8 meters, even in complete darkness.
With a 350° pan and 150° tilt range, the viewing direction can be changed flexibly. If the camera detects a moving person, auto-tracking automatically aligns the view with it and follows its movement. So the camera position does not have to be adjusted manually in order to keep a recognized person in the picture.
The L8M detects persons, dogs and cats as well as movements and noises. If events are detected, messages via the Foscam APP, e-mail and FTP are available. An integrated alarm siren of up to 100 dB supports the deterrence. The full-duplex two-way audio enables simultaneous speaking and hearing via the in-built microphone and the loudspeaker.
Dual band WLAN with Wi-Fi 6 offers the choice between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Alternatively, the connects RJ45 connection for camera via network cable. Bluetooth and QR code make setting up easier. You can view and control the camera via the free Foscam APP for iOS and Android or the Foscam VMS for Windows and MacOS. Alexa and Google home control unit enable connected to compatible Smart home systems.
For recordings several memory paths are ready: A microSD card with up to 512 GB, local storage, FTP storage and the Foscam cloud. This allows the storage to be adapted to the desired use. The memory card is available separately. The compact housing with a diameter of 77 mm and a height of 122 mm facilitates interior placement.
