H.264 720p megapixel IP camera
Available here: Foscam UK . Foscam Western Australia
The camera I have working successfully with Zoneminder is running the following firmware:
- Software Firmware Version 1.4.1.7
- Application Firmware Version 1.14.1.21
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:
- Stream Type 0
- Resolution 720P
- Bit Rate 512K
- Frame Rate 10
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.
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.
Using the FI9805W with Zoneminder :

Default settings, with the exception of:
General
- Source Type : Ffmpeg

- Source Path : rtsp://<username>:<password>@<ip_address>:<port>/videoMain
- Target Colorspace : 32 bit colour
- Capture Width (pixels) : 1280
- Capture Height (pixels) : 720
Note: Using the Camera Webinterface I changed "Main strem video settings"
- Resolution 960P
- Bit Rate 512K Frame Rate: 8
- Key Frame Interval: 10
- This is resulting in a more stable stream--Elmargol (talk) 09:33, 20 February 2015 (GMT)
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.
Default settings, with the exception of:
General
- Source Type : Ffmpeg

- Source Path : rtsp://<username>:<password>@<ip_address>:<port>/videoSub
- Target Colorspace : 32 bit colour
- Capture Width (pixels) : 1280
- Capture Height (pixels) : 960
M-JPEG:
I got better result using JPEG snapshots. Here I have set up my camera to use the stream number 3, with a resolution of 1280x960 and 8 FPS. Change streamType, width and height to match your settings.
Default settings, with the exception of:
General
- Source Type : remote

- Remote host name: <ip_address>
- Remote host port: 88 (default for my camera)
- Remote host path: /cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=admin&pwd=password&cmd=setMainVideoStreamType&streamType=3
- Target Colorspace : 24 bit colour OR 32 bit colour
- Capture Width (pixels) : 1280
- Capture Height (pixels) : 960
