Important Message from Foscam Digital Technologies Regarding CANADA Sales & Service
We, Foscam.ca (aka Foscam Digital Technologies and now Amcrest Technologies), are an independent United States based distributor of 'Foscam' branded products. We have been offering telephone support, Canadian local warranty services, and building the Foscam brand in Canada for the past 7 years. However, we are deeply saddened to report that, even after all of this, our overseas suppliers have decided to undercut us and supply to our major customers directly. For this reason, we have no choice but to suspend telephone support for all Foscam branded products. If you have purchased a Foscam camera directly from us or from one of our authorized retailers, technical support is still available via email at [email protected].
For customers who have not purchased from us directly, we advise you to please contact Foscam Shenzhen or the distributor which you have purchased from. In the meantime, we have launched our own new brand of IP cameras called Amcrest, which has superior quality products and full telephone technical support 7 days per week. We hope you can support us in our new venture. For more information, please visit www.Amcrest.CA.
