h.264 support for Foscam FI8602 cameras

I've used Foscam FI8918 / FI8908 as well as FI8905 cameras (all of them being MJPEG) on ZM 1.24.x versions. I recently tried configuring Foscam FI8602 which is an H.264 camera on ZM 1.24 on Ubuntu 11.10. I choose Ubuntu 11.10 primarily because the WiKi says that FFmPEG below 0.7.3 doesnot support the rtsp connection streaming. I'm able to get my FI8602 stream on VLc player thru' # vlc rtsp://username:password@ip_address/11 command. But thru ZM the monitor shows a blank (black) screen. I'm using rtsp as the source and type as "ffmpeg" in my monitor configuration. Interestingly mplayer ( on Ubuntu 11.10) doesn't work with rtsp, but on Ubuntu 10.10 mplayer works fine with rtsp on the same FI8602 camera. Hope someone cracks this. Thnx
