<div>H.264 720p megapixel IP camera [http://foscam.co.uk/products/foscam-fi9805w-outdoor-wireless-ip-camera.html] .<br />
<br />
The camera I have working successfully with Zoneminder is running the following firmware:<br />
<br />
:Software Firmware Version 1.4.1.7<br />
:Application Firmware Version 1.14.1.21<br />
<br />
There are known issues with RTSP streaming on earlier firmwares than the above, with the RTSP connection become unavailable after a few hours when used with Zoneminder (or VLC, for that matter). This often requires a soft or hard reboot of the camera to get it working again. Indeed, even with this firmware, RTSP generates errors, but I've found the following camera settings to be reliable:<br />
<br />
:Stream Type 0<br />
:Resolution 720P<br />
:Bit Rate 512K<br />
:Frame Rate 10<br />
<br />
You may get away with a higher Bit and Frame Rate but, using Zoneminder 1.26.3, I find I get smearing with anything much above what's listed here.<br />
<br />
It's also worth noting that the camera halves the Frame Rate when it switches to night view, so the above will give 5fps when it gets dark.<br />

i have found this stream better and showing very little to no lag. i have not reduced the frame rate and the night vision is refreshing correctly.<br />
