The video below review the key features and functionality of the Foscam FI9821W web interface. The Foscam FI9821W has the same physical construction as the Foscam FI8910W, so we have included the FI8910W's physical overview for your convenience. Without PTZ controls on the VMS, what is the point of having a PTZ connected to a VMS?
The big barrier, of course that remains, is VMS integration. This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply. Users looking for an HD indoor pan/tilt camera can find value in the Foscam FI9821W's offerings, if that users have patience for setup and configuration, and can work with the limited options available on the camera. While ~$40 USD more than its SD counterpart (Foscam FI8910W), the substantial gain in image quality and possible bandwidth savings are worth it.
The Foscam FI9821W uses CBR only, with a cap of 4Mbps, which could lead to degraded image quality if camera is set up to view a busy or complex scene, such as a street intersection. Aside from resolution, frame rate, bit rate, and keyframe interval, there are no other codec settings available (such as exposure, gain control, etc). We contacted Foscam's tech support, and they stated that they have not tested the cameras within any VMS's, but have tested it with a handful of NAS/NVRs. For example, in Exacq the camera can be added, but would not stream, and in VideoInsight, the camera will add and stream, but PTZ functionality did not work. While Foscam claims the FI9821W is ONVIF conformant, integration was problematic and we could not find it validated on ONVIF's official list. The 720p FI9821W had the same default bandwidth consumption (4Mb/s) as its SD counterpart but could easily be set lower as our test results showed at 4Mb/s, the compression was unnecessarily low for most scenes. Pan/tilt controls perform well, with low latency and smooth horizontal and vertical movement with no bouncing or jittering. Exposure is slowly automatically adjusted to compensate for severe IR illumination. However, severe overexposure is present in the middle of the image. IR illumination range goes beyond specification (8m/~25'), reaching to at least 50'. 
#ONVIF FOSCAM 720P#
The Foscam 720p FI9821W had significantly better daytime image quality than its SD counterpart, but average compared to low-cost 720p cameras (ACTi D11, Dahua HD2100N). 
Our testing showed the following key strengths: So we put the new model to the test against the old one and two fixed HD cameras from Dahua and ACTi. This model claimed 3 major improvements over the original one we tested: The $68 SD PTZ we tested disappointed, due primarily to poor image quality and high bandwidth consumption.Ī member suggested we test a newer HD version that cost $40 more - the Foscam FI9821W, so we bought one from Amazon for $127 to put this to the test.
