I tried configuring RSTP because ONVIF didn't work for me, but i'm happy to go back to ONVIF ... there's not much to configure for ONVIF. I haven't gotten it to work. Thanks everyone for getting me this far, still doesn't work yet, but I think it's just a matter of having the right settings...

Yeah those the exact screens i'm showing, but it looks slightly different probably because my firmware is a lot older than the one in your link. But yeah, those are the dialog boxes im going through for adding the camera. I'm thinking it's mostly a matter of having the right settings now, unless...

Based on this post i found on google, here's how the RTSP settings should be set: rtsp:/admin:password@IPAddress:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&authbasic=64 I tried configuring a new protocol for amcrest through LaView (see screenshot) It still doesn't seem to connect from LaView's...

Awesome, thanks guys, I am now in the web gui, and i see that ONVIF is enabled So far I will have: 1. the IP (once I plug into NVR, the LaView NVR sets static IP) 2.the port (443 see screenshot) 3. the protocol (ONVIF) 4. login and password (i set that up with the mobile app) 5. channel (???)...

Mat200, do you know if I need to install the PC Amcrest software to enable ONVIF? I have the mobile app working and can see video, but I don't see any ONVIF settings on the mobile app. Thanks

Googling for documentation as we speak, will update this post later. Thanks!

:confused:

Update from last post... I bought the Amcrest IPCAM (IP5M-B1186EW-28MM), and when plugging it in and letting it setup automatically via plug and play, it just stays on Status "Detecting" in the LaView NVR software. I tried changing the protocol to ONVIP, and it doesn't even get to "detecting"...

It's great the community here is so active. I really appreciate that. Thanks for recommending the Amcrest. Let's say I do decide to go with something nicer that works with my NVR, which ones would it be? I googled for compatible camera list, but it seems that list is old. I can't find a single...

Thanks, i hear you loud and clear. In the back of my mind, I know youtube reviews are not the most credible, and they're more created for views. And it's even more suspect if they are making money from affiliate sales. I do agree that they fill the niche for someone who lacks the time needed...

Agree that that still pic is horrible, but to be fair, while that 1 frame sucks, the video clip would be better right? I don't have any experience with nicer systems, my current LaView cameras are probably just as bad :) I'll take a look at the Amcrest ones. And how I've come to know of Reolink...

I can probably live with the poor night time performance. I just want to get this Reolink to work. Or ANY camera around the $50 price point for that matter. Regarding Hikvision, any recommendations for cameras around the $50-75 price point? The cameras that came with the LaView system are 2MP...

I bought a LaView (LV-N9808C8E) system with 4 cameras, but 2 of them died, and now I'm trying to find replacement cameras. Browsing here, I found threads where people have gotten Reolink (RLC-410-5MP) camera working with my NVR. So I went ahead and bought one, but I'm unable to get it connected...
