OK, so I have had these cameras for years, and they have always worked fine, but today I go to log into them, and the sub menus are all blank, not showing up. Anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it? It is more than one camera. I did try two different browsers, Firefox and Edge...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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:

However, it might be far...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
