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.

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 values you did set in the Camera settings.
