Dahua HDW-4431C-A cannot get video in BI but fine in VLC

[AlpineWatch]

I bought a pair of Dahua HDW-4431C-A camera a while ago and now setting them up in BI. (was connected to a dahua DVR before).

Problem is in BI the live video shows "No Signal, RTSP: 404 Not Found". Username and password is fine, and if I type into VLC, rtsp://192.168.78.92 I get a valid stream.
What am I doing wrong in BI?

Thanks,
Dave

Either use find inspect or select one of the dahua options from the drop-down menu.

This was using 'find inspect'. Looks like it's a version issue.
here's the first camera with a problem.


and here's the second one that works.


If I set up the 'bad' camera identical to the 'good' camera in BI on the Network IP camera configuration page the problem still exists.

Both cameras worked okay with the Dahua NVR.

You need to ensure that onvif is enabled in the camera firmware... Or just use the drop-down.
