    Brightness variation in alert

    Searching for this turned up nothing so I will ask here. During playback in from the timeline in Blue Iris at speed >>, it shows the image gets brighter as the cams go into alert, then after the event they dim down. I've noticed this on both day and night recording on a few different brands of...

    SriCam

    Vorlon has a good point, I know I own a couple really cheap cams that just don't want to connect sometimes. You can ping them all day long and they respond perfectly but won't show up in the Onvif Device Manager until after a power cycle. So a couple troubleshooting tools to have are the above...

I managed to find the installation manual and it basically recapped what you mentioned here, explained it well enough and also suggested an option for using Firefox.

    How to ascertain the snapshot URL

    Thanks so much. Wireshark is a beast, but once tamed it can really give you the goods. That and the ODM reference to "not supported" were both a big help. I really think we are in the good old days of IP cams, just like MS-DOS 3.3. Edlin anyone?

    How to ascertain the snapshot URL

    Greetings. I am having trouble getting the snapshot URL for an ONVIF camera. The camera streams just fine in Blue Iris using the URL that is listed by the Onvif Device Manager. The streaming URL is: rtsp://192.168.1.217:554/user=admin_password=tlJwpbo6_channel=1_stream=0.sdp?real_stream Odd...
