Remootio-compatible X4 – Indoor IP camera, 2K/QHD, Wi-Fi, white

The Remootio-compatible Foscam X4 is a 4 MP, 2K/QHD dual-band Wi-Fi indoor IP camera designed for video monitoring of gates and garage doors in the Remootio app. The camera's live view can be displayed directly on the interface of the Remootio controller used to open and close the gate or garage door, allowing you to verify the result of the operation without leaving the app.

The version sold by Remootio is based on Foscam X4 hardware. It comes pre-activated and with a firmware version compatible with the Remootio app, so no separate camera activation code is required. There is no separate camera subscription fee for using it in the Remootio app. After setup, the camera can also be added to Foscam's own app, allowing additional camera functions provided by Foscam to be used as well.

The camera offers 2560 × 1440 pixel resolution at up to 25 fps, human, motion and sound detection, two-way audio, and 940 nm infrared night vision. Recordings can be stored on a microSD card with a capacity of up to 256 GB, on FTP storage, or in the Foscam Cloud service. An RTSP video stream is also available for network integration.
