Add PTZ control on ZoneMinder
  1. If you can, go to your camera WEBUI and creat a dedied "operator" user (never use an admin user with an uncrypted communication)
  2. Go to ZoneMinder Webui and connect to admin account.
  3. Go to Options => System => select OPT_CONTROL and save.
  4. Restart ZoneMinder
  5. Now go to your foscam parameters in Control tabs and configure it :
    • Controllable : select this case
      Control Type : Foscam FI9821W
      Control Device : USER:PASSWORD
      Control Address : IP_Address:88
      Track Motion : don't select (not working)
      Return Location : preset 1

Error in step 5 of the PTZ setting - for the control address setting, mine would not work with hostname:88, it worked with hostname:87.

The pan and tilt seem to work, but the zoom does not. When I select zoom tele, it changes the white balance, same for the zoom wide. The other controls - focus, white, iris and the presets - do nothing.
