Foscam FI9821W V2 with control

Resolution

You should be able to use higher or lower resolutions but keep the WidthxHeight ratio within the values you did set in the Camera settings.

If those settings are not equal, your ZM logs will complain: Monitor dimensions are 640x400 but camera is sending 1280x720
