    Not getting ONVIF events on Amcrest IP8M-DLB2998EW-AI Panoramic camera in Blue Iris

    I did reset the camera and redo all those settings, and that did not help. Since I could see the events in ONVIF Device Manager, I don't think it is the camera's fault. Next step upgrading BI.

    Not getting ONVIF events on Amcrest IP8M-DLB2998EW-AI Panoramic camera in Blue Iris

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I will probably try to upgrade my BI to latest first (which I think I would need to do to get support from them anyway) and then see if that fixes it. If not, I'll try to make a support ticket but I will keep an eye on this thread just in case someone else has...

    Not getting ONVIF events on Amcrest IP8M-DLB2998EW-AI Panoramic camera in Blue Iris

    UPDATE: Restarting the camera, as well as deleting and re-adding the camera did not help :( This camera just refuses to generate events in BI, it is so weird. I've even gotten cheap unknown brand cameras from China that worked to send and trigger ONVIF events in BI, and this one from Amcrest...

    Not getting ONVIF events on Amcrest IP8M-DLB2998EW-AI Panoramic camera in Blue Iris

    OK, I downloaded ODM (new tool for me but I figured out the basics) and I was able to get it to show the ONVIF events for this camera, I went outside and tested it. So, I think that works, just for some reason BlueIris isn't getting the events. Here is the events log with a test. next up I...

    Not getting ONVIF events on Amcrest IP8M-DLB2998EW-AI Panoramic camera in Blue Iris

    OK, so it wasn't the usename or password, it was that I had enabled HTTPS in the camera, and it wasn't working with that. I disabled that, and now it gave me this data, which works great for the video streams, but it seems the ONVIF STILL does not trigger as expected! It populated both ONVIF...

    Not getting ONVIF events on Amcrest IP8M-DLB2998EW-AI Panoramic camera in Blue Iris

    By the way, I canceled after doing that, because when I do that, it clears out my Stream Profiles, and then my substream doesn't even work, and my CPU use goes way up since it is previewing the main stream constantly. But I did use this initially, I just had to add the main and sub stream...

    Not getting ONVIF events on Amcrest IP8M-DLB2998EW-AI Panoramic camera in Blue Iris

    I have configured other cameras, by Amcrest and other manufactures, to work with smart AI human detection, and sending the ONVIF events to Blue Iris, but for some reason, this camera (IP8M-DLB2998EW-AI Panoramic) is not sending the events. I am not sure WHY, but I am beginning to suspect it is...

    Adding a speaker to Amcrest POE IP8M2796EB

    Depending on the voltage of the camera and whatever speaker you want to add, you might be able to avoid needing another PoE line by using a splitter, as described in this post: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/using-ethernet-splitter-for-two-cameras.70282/#post-773033 However, it might be far...

    Are there any A19 form IR light bulbs for night vision?

    Thanks for the reply... and yes after looking into all of this a bit more, I think they're directional for a reason, it would probably be a lot of wasted energy just lighting up everything. Also I think some dedicated IR lights for cameras auto-run only when it is dark, but other regular bulbs...

    Are there any A19 form IR light bulbs for night vision?

    I tried looking online for some infrared A19 form light bulbs, and not sure if I just was not using the search terms, or if they just don't exist? I see some IR lights that are A19 but they are like warming/heat lights, I don't want that. I recently got an Amcrest IP8M-T2669EW-AI and it is...

    Did You Vote Yet?

    I'm in Texas, we got this (fake Hispanic) clown Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke running for Governor on them Dem side, the one who infamously claimed "Hell yes!" he WILL take our AR-15's. So I voted red all the way down that ballot, FOR SURE! Cameras are great to dissuade people and for...

    Why did they remove the "show disabled cameras" menu button??? How to get back a disabled camera.

    Thank you! For some reason, just one of those days, I wasn't seeing that option in there. I guess they moved it there. That does help and is better than having to find and mess with the settings of the cameras in the Status > Cameras window.

    Why did they remove the "show disabled cameras" menu button??? How to get back a disabled camera.

    Of course, I had to bitch about this and THEN I found the solution in one of the last places I looked. If you click on the "status" icon that looks like a stock market graph, then you can see all the cameras you ever set up, including the disabled ones, and get to their menus that way. I'm...

    Why did they remove the "show disabled cameras" menu button??? How to get back a disabled camera.

    OK, I recently paid to upgrade BI since I hadn't upgraded it in about a year or more. Previously, when I was tinkering with a new IP camera but it wasn't mounted where I wanted it, I would disable that camera to hide it from my normal view list, then right click on the screen or a camera and...

    Any hope for this AliExpress Shunchen camera?

    Most of what I am finding is talking about security risks, LOL. Maybe I will call this one a loss and buy something more reputable next time... but I ain't trashing it yet so if anyone knows settings it will work with let me know.

    Any hope for this AliExpress Shunchen camera?

    Yeah, in IE only it says, "Please install IE ActiveX: IE_Plugins.exe from CD or download from internet". The site it is trying to download from is xmsecu.com which seems to be a risky site, according to my browser or addons. Chrome and Firefox don't ask for that, they show an alert in Chrome...

    Any hope for this AliExpress Shunchen camera?

    No, in this case it definitely was trying to connect to the internet. But, in any case, I'm not going to be installing custom things just for this cheap camera. More just wondering if anyone else got it to work with Blue Iris with different settings, or if someone has another camera recommendation.

    Any hope for this AliExpress Shunchen camera?

    Okay so I have some nice larger turret cameras have worked out great. But for a certain installation point between attic vent boards, I wanted a much smaller camera. Didn't need to have IR lights so this seemed to fit the bill. Product link (which supposedly had good reviews): US $25.5 12%...

    Anyone tried this? HDView Starlight Color Night Vision, 2.8-12mm, Sony Starvis

    After thinking about it more, I like this so much for the price, I was actually considering getting another one of these. However, I see it is now "currently unavailable" on Amazon. Might be due to corona virus impacting the supply?

    Anyone tried this? HDView Starlight Color Night Vision, 2.8-12mm, Sony Starvis

    This evening I noticed that part of the live video feed that had dark shadows appeared to have the pixels "dancing" or flickering around a little while it was in Starlight mode, shortly before it auto-switched to IR and BW night vision. So it seems to auto detect when it needs to use IR mode...

    Can anyone recommend a small IP can for this spot between vent boards?

    Thanks!!! Those are small and would work I think. Funny enough my very first home security camera was in that same form factor and size except it was straight to video feed (with adapter for bnc coaxial wire) not an IP network connection. despite not being very expensive it lasted over eight...

    Can anyone recommend a small IP can for this spot between vent boards?

    Ok, so I'm not sure if they even make anything this size in an IP type of camera? I'm looking for basically a very small and narrow bullet type camera, which could give an overview from an attic vent area (already have cameras lower for identifying purposes but wanted a bigger picture of front...

    Anyone tried this? HDView Starlight Color Night Vision, 2.8-12mm, Sony Starvis

    By the way, thank you for figuring that out! Kind of lame and that you have to log into that website to see their prices (I haven't bothered trying yet), but it is good to know what the original model is and also great to see that they sell compatible junction boxes there in case I can't find...

    Anyone tried this? HDView Starlight Color Night Vision, 2.8-12mm, Sony Starvis

    Thanks for your additional review! Where I've been using this I needed zoomed all the way out so I didn't really look at the clarity of when it is zoomed in very much but it is obviously optical and I see that you were also able to control the optical zoom with blue iris later in your updated...

    Anyone tried this? HDView Starlight Color Night Vision, 2.8-12mm, Sony Starvis

    I can say that there is no Audio at all on this camera, no audio listed in product specs, or present in it's default menu settings. I can drill a small hole in that caulk at the bottom, good idea. Want to keep it small though, we have these stupid wasps and mud daubbers around here that love...

    Anyone tried this? HDView Starlight Color Night Vision, 2.8-12mm, Sony Starvis

    Ok, so here are the images of how it looks installed along with the image of how it doesn't have screw holes that line up with the junction boxes I have been using for Dahua cameras. One bit of good news is that it does not seem to be running hot at all right now... So I might speculate that...

    Anyone tried this? HDView Starlight Color Night Vision, 2.8-12mm, Sony Starvis

    OK, so I installed this thing today outside on my front porch. The zoom can be controlled by Blue Iris, and when you zoom in and out, it also auto focuses after the zoom is done. There is also some little door on the camera body you can open to adjust the zoom and focus manually according to...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I don't see anyone talking about it yet, but since I live in San Antonio, I'm going to mention this... https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/02/cdc-released-a-woman-in-texas-who-tested-positive-for-the-coronavirus-totally-unacceptable.html I am honestly ASTOUNDED at the ineptitude of the CDC!!! They...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I live in San Antonio, TX and I will say, I'm thinking it is a REALLY BAD IDEA that they're releasing those Diamond Princess cruise ship passengers today after only 14 days in quarantine here. It is proven the incubation can be much longer so why not keep them longer?? I'm sure many of them...

    What kind of video recording system do really large buildings use?

    Wow, and even after they bite the bullet and buy all that, I am sure the "license" is very expensive too! So yeah the cost for 60+ cameras must be big bucks indeed, crazy. Thanks for the info. Makes my personal home Blue Iris system seem very economical :D
