Step 4: Lower the bit rate and frame rate of the live video feed from the camera.
There are times when network speeds and traffic can reduce the amount of data/video feed that can be accessed by the mobile device.
In this case lowering the amount of raw video data being sent to the mobile device can correct a network related issue such as this.

Step 5: Change the P2P port of the camera  in the event the port is being blocked by a firewall of the router or the ISP.

If your camera supports to change the P2P port number like below, you can change the P2P port to any number between 10000 to 60000.

Step 6: Check for any firmware updates that may be needed on the camera and be sure that the Foscam App is up to date with the latest version. Once updated attempt the connection again.

Step7: If all above steps do not solve your case, please send the UID of your camera to support@foscam.com for help.
