Thank you @Flintstone61 - it is helpful to see that it is working for your GetSystemDateAndTime. When I set to 80, it just redirects to 443 anyway. Port 80 or port 554 didn't help - I tried with the PTZ ports as well. I also tried pretty much all the combinations of the drop down and ports, but I'm open to new ideas... Any time I do Find/Inspect it doesn't seem to properly identify the camera, and it resets my streams (I needed to manually set my Sub to /cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1 to get the substream to work).

403 means Forbidden, so perhaps it is a permissions problem? Initially I did have this camera attached to a restricted user that did not have PTZ. Now it is attached to a user with full permissions -

The only other web cam option I can find for ONVIF is this one - I've tried both Enable and Disabled, neither works.

The other thing I thought might help was Information -> Log, but it does not seem to log any of the 403 attempts to get to ONVIF.

@CarlosBarletta any ideas on how to debug this? How to get more logs? Is there perhaps a firmware update as well?

Thanks.

does the PTZ controls work from the Amcrest web gui? Oh nevermind i reread your OP.
send a screen shot of the network/ tcp/ip stuff. like port 3777, port 554, blah blah blah....something is set wrong.

Here are the ports. Defaults, I think. HTTPS is enabled, and it made me create a cert. In Network, I also turned off UPnP if it was on - I forget if it was.

@Flintstone61 you've solved it!

Once I turned off HTTPS in Amcrest web setup, Find/Inspect found the camera, and discovery succeeded all calls. I did need to uncheck 'use another ip/port' on the PTZ tab, as Find didn't automatically fix that for me (I had turned it on at some point). Here's what my PTZ and Video look like now -

And in Setup in the camera web portal -

This still appears to be a problem. I'm running BI 5, latest Amcrest firmware, IP4M-1041W cameras. PTZ will not function from BI with HTTPS enabled on the cameras.

Are you guys using blue iris with some frame analysis to make this camera behave like an auto tracking?
