Foscam FI9803P POE/Wireless Outdoor IP Camera
The Foscam FI9803P camera supports up to 720p resolution in color. You can connect it by Wireless 802.11n, wired with POE, or analog outputs.
NOTE!
Long passwords are not supported for any URL. This means you can have an admin for the webpage that is 128 bit but for a visitor login that Zoneminder will use, restrict the password to 40 bit. I would get a return of -2 which in the SDK means user or password wrong despite it being correct. Dropping to 40 bit password solved this.

This section is to add tips and gotchas found in the future.

I have read of suggestions to use other source types to prevent smudging and as if I find a setting that works will update.
