FI8908W old and new...

In addition to the new FI8918W, Foscam is now also producing a different generation of FI8908W.
If you buy it today, it's likely to be the one you'll receive. These two lines of products follow their own separate branch for firmwares, and you cannot flash a "non-logo" camera with a branded camera.




The oem product branch has no marking on the box, to leave the option to resellers to re-brand it easely (for instance the zaapa brand sold once through the Carrefour supermarkets in Europe). It goes from firmware 11.14.1.34 to 11.14.2.17 (at the time of writing).
It is hard to distinguish from the many clones that use completely different firmware, so the best move before flashing such a camera is to check with Foscam first.
This is the camera I've got and files available on this web site are for this generation. 



The branded product branch is branded with the Foscam logo on the camera base, and the firmware version starts from 11.14.2.26 onward.












Please also note FI8908W and the newer FI8918W (firmware 11.22.2.23,and for the moment only Foscam branded) are different and don't use compatible firmwares.
