This was the first outdoor unit from Foscam that interested me because it had all the major features I wanted.
-pan/tilt
-optical zoom
-HD video quality (960p is a perk)
-night vision
-weatherproof

There are some cons.
-The base of the unit could have been larger to house the cables. You can get an inexpensive cable manager for $12 but it look weird.
-The viewing angle of the unit zoomed out is different then when it is zoomed in. If this is mounted at the top of the 2nd story, the camera works great. But when mounted at the 1st floor, this meant I can't look as far into the distance as I had hoped. I would have tilted the Foscam a bit so that I would have a better view at the front of the camera at the expense of the back. The back is the wall anyway.
-All of the Foscams I have reviewed had an articulating antenna. This one does not. It's fixed, pointed upwards, roughly 5 inches. This meant if I'm mounting it on the first floor wall, the base is mounted 5" below the gutters.

I think $300 is priced just right. Not too expensive, but not cheap either.

Setup was easy. In other videos, I demonstrated the setup on a Windows PC and Mac.

All the cons aren't major because I have found ways to work around it.
