Notice Regarding Foscam Camera Access Using Chrome

As of Sept 3rd, Google has removed NPAPI support from Chrome, which is how Foscam's Chrome plug-in was implemented.  Foscam is actively working on a resolution as noted below which will require a firmware update on supported models, and in the mean time they request that customers use Firefox or Internet Explorer which is not impacted by this change.

 

Foscam expects to release 3518C chipset platform firmware to support Chrome this weekend.

Ambarella chipset platform firmware will release before Sept 30th.
3518A/E, 3516C chipset platform firmware will need more time.
And the plan will update after Ambarella firmware release.
