Foscam FI8921P Pan/Tilt Camera (s.b. FI9821P)
The Foscam FI9821P is a H.264 Pan/Tilt camera with a default resolution of 1280x720.
Connecting to the camera is via FFMpeg in Zoneminder, using the URL rtsp://UserName:Password@IP:88/videoMain, i.e.; rtsp://UserName:Password@192.168.0.90:88/videoMain or rtsp://UserName:Password@192.168.0.90:88/videoSub for 320x240 resolution to conserve bandwidth. I changed my camera from the default http port of port 88 to the normal default of port 80, the URL must be changed accordingly.
This camera uses the same firmware as many other Foscam cameras, which means one of the PTZ control scripts already included in ZoneMinder will likely work.
It appears that when one seeks the information for the Foscam FI9821P you only get detail for the FI89XX series
For the FI9821P the following HTTP settings work in Zoneminder 1.28.1
For Source type = Remote and using Remote Protocol "HTTP", Remote Method "Simple", Remote Host Name "IP of Cam, Remote Host "Port # of Cam" Then Remote Host Path is
cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=username&pwd=password
Target Colorspace = 32 Bit colour

Using FFMPEG appears to be alot more flexible when tweaking the camera's capture dimensions.
