First post but have been trolling for a while...

I just got an Acti B97. Other than the IP address it is pretty much at its default config – 10.1.1.212. as you can see from the screen grab below, I get video from the camera’s normal web page. When I set it up in BI I get “no signal”. The PTZ functions work thru the BI UI so it can talk to the camera, just no image.

The camera is setup to send MJPEG @1280x720 and that is the option I am using in BI. I have another non-PTZ Acti that is setup and works just fine. What am I missing to get the new camera to work?

I’ve updated the firmware on the camera and am running the newest version of BI 3.66.00.

I’ve spent a couple hours on the web and haven’t found anything that works.

try using h.264 and the acti rtsp from the dropdown.
Also the you may want to try port 7070 for rtsp, that may be the default, check the cameras network settings for the correct port number.
