Foscam FI9821W V2 with control

With the newer version of the Foscam firmware you are prompted to change the default login. I did this then added another user called admin. I'm not sure if this is necessary but I was able to get the camera to work with control.

Note 1: Edit Foscam FI9821W and remove check marks in Zoom, Focus, White, Iris, and change Presets number from 16 to 8

You should be able to use higher or lower resolutions but keep the WidthxHeight ratio within the 640x320 value
