Foscam FI9831W

Adding support for FI9831W involves the following steps: (BTW, this should work on other foscam HD cameras too)

• Click on source column of ZM console next to the monitor you want to add PTZ control
• In control Tab, make sure "Controllable" is checked. In control type, select Foscam FI89831W (If it does not exist see later)
• In Control Device please put in:
  • usr=xxx&pwd=yyy where xxx = camera user name and yyy is your password. (NOTE: usr NOT user)
• In Control Address put in IP:port of your camera
• In Auto Stop Timeout put in 1
• Leave track motion unchecked, track delay 0, Return Location none, Return Delay 0

If FI9831W does not exist as a control type

That means your version does not yet have the control protocol. You need to do the following:

• Grab a copy of https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder/blob/master/scripts/ZoneMinder/lib/ZoneMinder/Control/FI9831W.pm and move it to /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Control/ or wherever your current control scripts reside (An easy way to find it is to look for AxisV2.pm --> an existing control protocol and that's your directory)
• In the control tab of your monitor, click on Edit -> Add New Control
