Given the French manufacturer’s experience in home security,<br />
you get the expected level of care with your data. Video<br />
transmission between the camera and the cloud uses a 2048-bit<br />
SSL encryption key, and video streams are encrypted with 2048-bit<br />
Transport Security Layer<br />
(TLS). The same<br />
encryption level is used<br />
when connecting your<br />
smartphone to the MyFox<br />
cloud. All videos are<br />
stored with AES-256<br />
encryption.<br />
Setup and usage<br />
Setting up the MyFox is<br />
fairly simple: once you<br />
downloaded the app, it<br />
walks you through the<br />
process for creating an<br />
account, entering your<br />
Wi-Fi information and<br />
adding the camera to your<br />
network. The whole thing took about three to four minutes.<br />
The MyFox’s 720p video is pretty standard in this price range, and<br />
it’s crisp and clear with moderate fish-eyeing in smaller rooms. It<br />
remained that way when switched to night mode, and there was<br />
minimal distortion when using the 4x “magic zoom” on the image in<br />
either mode.<br />
In addition to the power and Internet outage alerts, the MyFox<br />
sends you a notification if the camera detects motion. Unlike with<br />
some other cameras, the MyFox doesn’t offer a way to adjust the<br />
sensitivity of the motion detection, so I was getting alerts every few<br />
