I know these camera's are re-badge Foscam likely FI9815P/v2 or FI9816P/v2 if revision 3.9 or older... Or FI9815P v3 if revision 4.0 or newer...
Looking at the firmware listed from Insteon support page, for revision 3.9 or older firmware is from Apr 17, 2015... and for revision 4.0 or newer Jul 19, 2016
There have been many security issues raised with Foscam between then and now that have been resolved in multiple firmware patches...Most recently this from nov 2017 - https://www.foscam.com/company/secur...171117001.html
Needless to say its very disappointing to see Insteon do nothing to update their firmware to address security issues identified...Should have just bought Foscam instead of Supporting Intseon Cameras...
Is there any hope in Insteon actually updating their firmware? Or are we left to try an experiment by flashing Foscam firmware to our Insteon Cameras?
Edit/Update 12/15/17 -
According to Foscam/Fostar official support the INSTEON 2864-222 HD camera with v4.0 or higher is the FC2406P which is the OEM of FI9816P...
They use chipset Hi 3518E which was the one mentioned in the security notice! So wow is all i have to say to you naysayer's
Now hopefully this does get some awareness and people will start requesting INSTEON support do something about it, until then I will wait for my INSTEON support response and share with the "peers" of this forum that might actually care...
Screen shots will be posted to prove my exchange with Foscam/Fostar
