I have a new Zosi IP Camera Model-ZNC2965Y and I cannot get it to work on Blue Iris Software. I have tried everything. B.I. does not even find it with the find and inspect option, or just putting in the IP. I can put the RTSP address in VLC player and it finds it also. Advanced IP scanner does find it and shows it's ports are 23 and 554. I don't understand why port 23 is one of the ports and not 80. Also ODM does not find it either does that mean it's not onvif? . The Zosi search tool finds it and has video and the Zosi AVSS.2.2.1 app both android and PC find it with video. I was told that is does work with B.I. but I can't get it to. Any ideas? Thanks for any help you can offer.
 
Looking at the camera and NVR that it normally pairs with from Zosi it seems that isn't ONVIF and seeing there is nothing in the manual or web that mentions a WebUI only says App and App for desktop so sounds like it is software driven and they want it to work with their own products.. From what I see anyway..

Thank you for the answer. That's what makes me mad these people at Zosi keep answering my question telling me to do this or that to make it work, and never really answers what my question really was. They say it will work but apparently it won't.
 
Well it may work if setup with RTSP I can't say for sure..

They have this starting at like 207s in but this might help I know it is different camera but they are setting up with RTSP so maybe there will be something that might help you in it..

Thank you for your answer. I have tried that already with no luck.
 
I can put the RTSP address in VLC player and it finds it also.

But....does VLC play the RTSP stream using the URL you gave it?

Yes it plays it fine with the end being video1 or video2. So now I changed some things around and now I get no error but it has the colored bar screen forever. Here are some pics. I have changed the IP just to post this photo so it is a different IP. Anyone have any idea what this means?

No need to change IP as that is how unforced errors happen if you forgot to change back or transpose a number.

You can list the private LAN IP addresses as it does not tell anyone anything - they are the same as everyone else.

The IP address of your service provider for your WAN is what you don't provide...Everything on the inside past the modem is fine to put out.

Everything on the inside, the local LAN will fall under these ranges and you are not telling anyone anything about how to hack your system because these ranges are reserved for the "home side" of the service so every home internally will be within this same range):

10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255

I don't now how but it actually worked with these settings, hopefully it will still work after I disconnect it and take it out and mount it. It don't make any sense to me because I have put these same settings in the other day and it would not work. These settings are not what I entered and hit Ok, these are what B.I. changed them to after I hit Ok. The settings that work are in the screenshot. Thank you everyone for all your help!

Then possibly "/video2" will work for the sub stream; change from "none" to "default".....or it won't, no great loss. :cool:
