Nikkolade: /* Using FI9801W with Zoneminder */

The Foscam FI9801W and FI9802W are outdoor IP cameras with 720p resolution, IR illumaniated night vision and support wireless.
Specifications/More info [http://www.foscamaustralia.com.au/All-Foscam-IP-Cameras/All-Foscam-Outdoor-IP-Cameras/Foscam-FI9801W-30M-H264-720P-HD-Wireless-IP-Camera-Outdoor-Silver-Infrared-Cut-Filter-2yr-Warranty here]

== Using FI9801W with Zoneminder ==

First upgrade to the latest version (at least App Firmware Version of 1.4.1.10) which enables the URL used for stills - <pre>http://<cam ip>:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=<username>&pwd=<password>
</pre>

Night view 
This camera is using CMOS sensor and it seems that the night view
is not comparable to the older FI8601W/FI8602W which had Sony CCD sensor.
The older FI8601W is able to record 20 fps in a location, where the newer
FI9802W is only able to record 8 fps ... This means that pictures are just
barely recognizable due to shadowing problems.
 

''Firmware 1.4.1.12:'' 
The newer firmware version 1.4.1.12 adds finally also the rtsp stream support:

<pre>
rtsp://<username>:<mandatory password>@<cam ip>:88/videoMain
</pre>

It seems that without setting a password for the account, it WILL NOT WORK with zoneminder!

And with the latest firmware 1.4.1.12 the MJPEG support is completely
broken/removed:

Even vlc gives the following output:
<pre>
access_http access error: error: HTTP/1.0 500 Internal Server Error
</pre>

NOTE!

The snapPicture cgi seems to only provide 4fps video with the latest firmware 1.4.1.10.

The previous firmware also has an initial support for the MJPEG stream with another cgi:

http://(FI9802W IP):88/cgi-bin/CGIStream.cgi?cmd=GetMJStream&usr=admin&pwd=

However, this is currently either broken or just incompatible with the current Zoneminder version and only produces the following errors:
