Foscam BP4 - 2K/4MP - Battery camera

The Foscam BP4 is a fully wireless 4-megapixel security camera with an integrated solar panel and a rechargeable 10,000mAh battery. This innovative camera operates completely without cables – no power cord, no network cable – ideal for locations without electricity such as garden sheds, gates, construction sites, and remote areas.

Main Features

• Integrated solar panel: Automatically charges the battery with solar energy, no manual charging needed
• 10,000mAh battery: Includes four 18650 rechargeable cells, up to 6 months of use
• 2K/4MP resolution: Crystal-clear images (2560x1440) for facial recognition
• Color night vision: Spotlight LEDs for color images in the dark (not black and white)
• Sound and light alarm: Scare off intruders with siren and flashing light
• 100% wireless: WiFi connection, no cables needed
• AI human detection: Distinguishes people from animals and objects, fewer false alarms
• PIR sensor: Energy-saving motion detection activates camera only by heat
• Two-way audio: Speak with visitors via built-in microphone and speaker
• Smart home: Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Home

Solar Panel – Never Charge Again

The integrated solar panel continuously charges the 10,000mAh battery with solar energy. With 3-4 hours of sunlight per day, the camera remains permanently charged without manual charging. Even in cloudy weather or winter, the battery stays topped up. With little sunlight (for example, shaded locations), the battery lasts 3-6 months before charging is needed.

Color Night Vision with Spotlight

Unlike standard infrared night vision, the BP4 offers color images in the dark thanks to built-in spotlight LEDs. When motion is detected, the LEDs automatically turn on for color images. This helps in recognizing faces and clothing colors. The spotlight also works as a deterrent – intruders immediately see they are being recorded.

Sound and Light Alarm

The BP4 has a built-in siren (up to 110dB) and flashing light to actively scare off intruders. Activate the alarm manually via the app or set automatic activation upon motion detection. The combination of sound, light, and recording makes this camera an active security system rather than just passive monitoring.

AI Human Detection & PIR Sensor

The BP4 combines two detection technologies for maximum accuracy and battery saving:

PIR sensor: Passive infrared sensor detects heat (people, animals). Activates the camera only on relevant movement, saving battery.

AI human detection: Intelligent algorithms recognize people and distinguish them from pets, cars, or moving branches. You receive notifications only for human movement.

Battery Life & Energy Management

The 10,000mAh battery (four 18650 cells) lasts 3-6 months depending on use:

• With solar panel (3-4 hours sun/day): Unlimited, battery stays charged
• Without sunlight (shade/indoors): 3-6 months with normal use
• Heavy use (many recordings): 2-3 months
• Little activity: Up to 6 months

The PIR sensor ensures the camera is only active when there is movement, which saves battery. Charging takes 6-8 hours via the included USB cable (if needed).

100% Wireless Installation

The BP4 operates fully wirelessly on 2.4GHz WiFi. No power cable, no network cable, no socket needed. Mount the camera anywhere with WiFi coverage – on walls, poles, trees, or fences. Ideal for:

• Garden sheds and barns without electricity
• Gates and fences at the edge of the property
• Construction sites and temporary locations
• Garage boxes and storage spaces
• Holiday homes and campsites
• Locations where wiring is unwanted or impossible

Storage & Recording

The BP4 supports microSD cards up to 256GB for local storage (about 3-4 weeks of continuous recording at 2K resolution). Also compatible with Foscam Cloud for remote backup. Recording options: continuous, motion only (recommended for battery saving), or scheduled.

Smart Home Integration

Control the BP4 with your voice via Amazon Alexa or Google Home. Request live images on your smart display. Integrate with other smart home devices for automations.
