Do NOT install 5.4.6.4 or 5.4.7.0 especially if you use ONVIF triggers they're hopelessly screwed

5.4.6.4 should not be on the stable release train.

In what way are they screwed up? Have you reported the issue to support?
Yes it's been reported. The make/break time is disregarded, so every time an ONVIF trigger hits BI (which can be several times a second), it's generating individual alerts for each.

Can you specify what problems you were having. My BI motion detector cams were not having issues.

I am running 5.4.7.0 and my one camera that is ONVIF only is triggering on everything passing by like the BI motion detection is on. I deleted the camera and added it back and it still is happening.

My other camera isn't triggering with ONVIF.

Still doing some testing, but that is what I noticed.
 
Mine still doesn't seem to be.

My one camera is triggering every motion in BI despite it being set up just for ONVIF. I even tried deleting and re-added camera

My other camera isn't triggering with ONVIF
 
Would this be the reason for weird 2-second clips and clips ending before their break time that I’m getting since a few versions ago? Or is that something else.

5.4.7.2 seems to have fixed the external trigger problem. Only a few hours worth on my system but I'm seeing external, ONVIF and regular motion triggers.
 
I just tested 5.4.7.2 and for me external ONVIF triggers no longer work. Played around with the BI cam settings and within the cam UI but couldn't get them to work, have gone back to 5.4.6.3 where everything works as expected.

Me as well, no ONVIF on 5.4.7.2, fine with 5.4.6.3. I re-inspected, rebooted, turned onvif off and on...
 
Make sure that BI didn't turn MD on within the camera itself - mine did and I thought ONVIF wasn't working. Once I disabled MD, the ONVIF starting working in .1 and .2, just loading .3 now.
