Getting the hang of it

Hi folks

I am tinkering with an AXIS P3245LV --- The PC sees it.....I am in the cameras interface on the PC via blueIris....But the console wont see the camera.

Is there some magic incantation I am missing?

I have tried going Generic ONVIF, as well as the "AXIS P series"......and just cant get the stream to BI

What am I doing wrong?

Screen grabs of the various settings I tried as well as the inspection results

Thanks all
 
We will start with the obvious - did you do the following:

  • add camera
  • Type in IP address of the camera
  • Type in the user/PW of the camera
  • hit the find/inspect key

If you did that and it still doesn't show, post a screenshot of the pop-up window when find/inspect is selected.
 
Yep I did both of those things and had no luck.

Then I tinkered too far--- changed some setting in the advanced settings and now cant even get as far as I had after doing multiple factory resets.....

I am able to reset it, and then change the UN/PW as required.....and change the IP address to what it should be...but whatever setting I changed, and it would at least be accessible via the ip address thru BI.....but now I seem to have bricked it....
 
Ok, I was able to get the camera reset again and now it is again showing up in BI at the network configure link.....I set up a second admin account in the camera for onvif and now the camera is at least showing ONVIF when I "inspect"....but was still showing an "unauthorized-check user password" error...I did several "safe restarts" via the camera interface but no luck.....wengt back to trying the first ONVIF account again and this time it took......But still "no signal" within BI

I feel like I am close.....maybe?

SO these are the settings that "inspect" populates....I also tried changing the "onvif source" at the bottom to videosrc_cam0 for main and videosrc_cfg_cam0 since that is how my other cameras show up (not AXIS cams).....also tried changing the "main profile" to "/live/main" and "sub profile" to "/live/sub", for the same reason.

No joy. :(

I just updated the firmware for the camera --- first to 10.12.300 then to 11.11.181......no difference to BI.

What the heck am I missing????
 
What happens if you try the following URL in VLC?

Code:
rtsp:/192.168.55.30:554/onvif-media/media.amp


NOTE: Be sure to place 2 "/" after "rtsp:"

Noticed that the main stream seems to have activity in the camera page.......but not in the monitoring window in BI
no signal but shows main stream.PNG
 
Try deleting everything in the URL after "media.amp" in the BI page you posted as image #3 in post #6 and save it ("OK").

Thanks. Tried that and several iterations of deleting parts of it......still no good. :(
 
Does the "HTTP UNAUTHORIZED " message mean anything in this situation? When I go into teh camera software and turn off the "bonjour" and "upnp" options the "unauthorized" goes away but still have the "no signal" message

Have you tried deleting that cam and then making a new cam in BI?

Yeah...about a dozen times....... its gotta be something stupid, but I just cant find it.

The camera is "found" in BI when I provide the IP ..... and the stream seems to be streaming given the data changes on the one screen -- given a low data rate --.....but the BI interface shows "no signal".

Tried changing the IP address to a lower last number, which worked for a previous camera I had tested....still no good.

One more suggestion......

If all else fails and since you said in your post #9 that my suggested URL path works with VLC, under "Make" of "Generic/ONVIF" try setting the "model" in the drop-down to "VLC-compatible RTSP" as below:

Did you set the ONVIF user name and password as same as the AXIS user root?
Yes, the logon name is root for both and the same password is used.
