Compare Foscam R2 and C2
Cameras Foscam R2 and C2 have similar features such as indoor use, the ability to connect via LAN and Wi-Fi, as well as motion detection and IR illumination functions. However, R2 has 13 LEDs for illumination, while C2 does not specify their number. The viewing angle of C2 is 110°, which is wider than the 90° of R2. Also, R2 consumes more energy (6W compared to 4.8W for C2). Overall, the choice between them may depend on preferences for viewing angle and power consumption.

Number of LEDs
The number of backlight LEDs (see "Design and capabilities") provided in the camera design.
Theoretically, more LEDs provide more power and, accordingly, range (see below) and efficiency of IR illumination or LED illumination. However, in fact, such light sources can vary markedly in performance; in addition, a lot also depends on the features of the camera itself. Therefore, in fact, this indicator is a reference, and when choosing, it makes sense to pay attention to parameters that are closer to practice — in particular, the same backlight range (see below).

Horizontal viewing angle
Horizontal viewing angle of the surveillance camera. For models with a variable value, the maximum value is indicated, since it is the width of the image that is important, and when zooming in, the zoom factor is more important than the angle. This paragraph also indicates the general angle of view for models with a circular field of view – in particular, cameras with a fisheye lens (see above)
The wider the viewing angle, the more space the camera captures and at the same time, the smaller the images of individual objects in the frame are obtained. Therefore, when choosing by this parameter, it is worth deciding what is more important – the ability to view a large scene or the visibility of small details in a relatively narrow field of view. Also note that with a wide field of view (100° or more), characteristic distortions can be observed at the edges of the frame, and the wider the angle, the more pronounced they are. This phenomenon can be eliminated by panoramic shooting (see "Design and features"), but this feature, in turn, complicates and increases the cost of the camera.
