Hello:
cheap lens, about 4mm - ended replacing with 2.1mm lens from DX that was sharper and covered a nice wide area
Would you please tell me where you bought the replacment lens and how you replace in your Camera.
Thank you

Hi,
I would also like to know where I can buy the extra lense for the foscam fi8908w.
I just bought this camera from foscam.us and got it setup. No problems yet, but i got my fingers crossed. They said comes with 1 year warranty. Question: Will I void the warranty if I put in the new lense?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
|

It's sort of not worth it. Pay a bunch of money to ship a camera back to China, then they'll claim it's fine, then they may send me a new one and charge me shipping. For $80, I got a good lesson. The camera works, but since it's so unreliable if it accidently powers down, I use it in my office and have it plugged in my UPS and it's good enough for that. Ironically, I have the clone working in my vacation home, no problems.

Buellwinkle,
Your comments gave me greate cause for concern so i contacted www.foscam.us and asked them about it. They told me they will accept warranty shipments at their Houston, TX, office and we don't need to send the Camera's back to China. Also, the shiping on the replacement is free.
Thus, if my camera breaks within 1 year I can ship it back to Houston, TX, at my own expense. Then, I will get a replacement shipped from Houston and foscam.us will cover the shipping on that end.
However, they said this policy only applies to people who bought their cameras from foscam.us but not on Ebay.
I know this doesnt help your situation, but it a huge relief for me.
Best Regards,
