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.

Camera Video Settings

  • Stream Type: HD Mode
  • Resolution: 720P
  • Bit Rate: 128K
  • Frame Rate: 5
  • Key Frame Interval: 50
  • Variable bitrate: Yes

Zoneminder Monitor Settings

  • Source Type: Ffmpeg
  • Function: Modect (or your choice)
  • Source Path: rtsp://admin:(Password)@IP-Address:88/videoMain
  • Remote Method: RTP/Unicast
  • Capture Width: 640
  • Capture Height: 320
  • Control Type: Foscam FI9821W (see note 1)
  • Control Device: (Password) (see note 2)
  • Control Address: IP-Address:88
  • Auto Stop Timeout: 1

Notes

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

Note 2: You may be able to use just the camera password or user=(user)&pwd=(password)

Note 2 addendum: I was only able to PTZ working if Control Device was in the format of user:password

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