5.7.5 - April 20, 2023 - Onvif updates

[105437]

I'll try and see tomorrow, thanks!

I just tested and it's working on a cloned camera. The odd thing is that I have to select "Clone Master" on the cloned camera in order for ONVIF GetEvents to report as okay. I've told Ken about that, so right now that one camera is designated as clone master for the actual master and the clone. This isn't ideal since it's using additional bandwidth.

Working with the default events or with Brunokiwi custom added events? and what camera?

Thank you

Thank you

I'm using the default events plus the two @brunokiwi events shown below. One thing I can't figure out is how to see the trigger clips in the iOS app. They show up in UI3 when I view "New" or "All" clips. Can't seem to find that view on the mobile app.

So 5.7.5.4 got the 180 camera to start recognizing external alerts, but the 5442 still no joy.

It also corrected the issue I reported where "GetEvents" wouldn't work on a cloned camera unless you selected "Clone Master".

The bruno hack does work on the 5442 though. Not sure what that means for all the other options that are there to customize

Yes, I'm using that hack and allows it to work for me. This is how it looks in my log for the 5442 camera I'm testing with.

Status/log shows the events:

The latest update also fixed the onvif issue with the IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E.

I just installed 5.7.5.4 and am still seeing issues with my SD5A425XA. I also noticed that I'm seeing the same issue with at least one Color4K-X. In both cases, events show up in the camera web interface but not in BI.

 

[105437]

Just curious, has anyone tested sending IVS event triggers to CPAI for processing? Considering setting up tripwires that will trigger on any object crossing and then let CPAI analyze for objects.

Many people do that instead of using BI motion.

Good to hear, I'm going to try and test that tomorrow.

OK, this is starting to make sense.

Here's an example ...
XML output for a line-crossing event on my 5442.

Note in the 'RuleEngine/LineDetector/Crossed' NotificationMessage that the 'Source' entry 'Rule' has the value 'IVS-5'.

This aligns with my IVS setup in the camera. I triggered the camera for this event by crossing line IVS-5.

Have you been able to do anything with this yet?

Now that my 180 camera is triggering the IVS rules, I can see when my IVS-1 and IVS-2 are triggering.

So the thought is to be able to take this information and have BI do certain things based on which IVS rule was triggered.

So I was thinking in my case IVS-1 acts as a spotter cam to trigger the PTZ to a certain preset and IVS-2 does the same on the other side.

When I type IVS-1 into the contains box and hit OK and exit out of the camera settings, when I go back the words IVS-1 are gone.

I figure it is going to be some trial and error to figure out how to turn this information into something useful, so wanted to see if you had any better luck than I have so far.

Would be nice if BI stored a separate log file for the XML it receives.

Yep, if you aren't watching it, you will miss it. It doesn't even keep a running log of those commands.

Not yet. Been away since that post. Back now and hoping to catch up and experiment.

 

[105437]

I tried testing this today. The camera triggered the IVS to BI, but CPAI didn't respond with analysis results. Going to need to dig into my settings because I have CPAI working successfully for all of my cameras using BI motion detection.

Anyone gotten a 5442 to work without having to add the custom event above?

I see a .6 release now

UPDATE: just tried 5.7.5.6, no go for my two 5442's

even manually adding the triggers listed above


Reverted back to 5.7.4.2 all good again

 

[karlocikovic]

I tried v 5.7.6.7, Getevents on 5442s not working, on 4K-X are working. Reverted to 5.7.4.2 all good again.

 

[biggen]

Ken asked me for access to one of my 5442s for testing. Like everyone else, IVS isn’t working on 5442s without disabling ONVIF authentication. Hopefully he will get it sorted out quickly.
