Also, I think you already did this, but please confirm the video encoding you are using is H.264, not any of the others. And that you are using CBR (Constant Bit Rate).
So if your ONVIF settings are correct as shown upthread, you can test if the camera is triggering BI.
Go to your multi-view screen and right click the doorbell camera, and select Trigger now.
You can confirm in your log that BI received an "External" trigger from the doorbell camera.

When I press Trigger now.. I see the border of the camera turns red. But I don't get any notifications or anything.
The camera triggered BI just fine. And since you are still running Deepstack, it cancelled the trigger when it did not find anything.
so how am I get notified using ONVIF. Am I still going to get notifications on my phone from BI?
Remind me .... are you trying to detect people or vehicles or both? Or something else (cats, birds, etc.)?
For those who want to use the camera AI for Human detection, you should DESELECT Motion Detection and ONLY select Human Detection, which is done in the Amcrest app.
If you have push notifications enabled in the Mobile Devices section of BI and then configure your doorbell to send those Alerts via push notifications, then YES.
ok.. I just checked it...went outside and I got notified... so it seems to be working... let's see how it works
So if the motion is coming from the camera over to BI...then does that mean that Deepstack is not being used for this camera?

Before getting into DS and Alerts and Push, let's take a moment.
Right now, if you disable DS on your doorbell camera, you will get a trigger into BI every time your camera detects motion. This is the exact same behavior as you should be seeing in your Amcrest app.
If you want to test the performance of BI versus Amcrest app, now is the time to walk around and confirm.

Did you make any changes to DS yet? I don't think you have. When you walked around just now, the camera triggered and sent that to BI - then BI/DS processed the images and detected you. If you want a clean direct comparison of Amcrest app versus BI, you need to disable Deepstack processing on your doorbell camera.
The only thing about the camera motion detection...it is very sensitive and I get lots of motion alerts from tiny bugs flying by. So that's why I had disabled notifications in the Amcrest app.
In your case, you have AI in the camera and another layer of AI processing with BI/DS. Use them.
Is BI currently sending you push notifications for your other 6 cameras?

Yes, I get notifications on all cameras.
So, BI is getting the motion from the camera..then BI process it and sends it to DS and then I get the notification on my phone from BI?

Yes, the process is - Camera detects Motion - Camera determines if Motion is a Human (you are not using this, but you should) - If YES, Camera creates a Trigger Event - BI polls Camera for Trigger Events - BI passes Trigger Event images to DS for processing - If DS detects Object, DS sends ALERT - BI processes Alert and sends PUSH.
There are numerous ways to configure things, but that is essentially what you have working right now.
I suggest you try the following:
1. Use your camera's AI for Human detection. To do this, in the Amcrest app you disable Motion detection and ENABLE Human Detection. Then you will only get Trigger Events from the Camera which pass its AI filter.
2. Don't use DS AI for now. Just see if you are happy with the Human Detection performance of the Camera feeding those Trigger events to BI. If you are happy with them, it is less work for BI and you will get faster notifications.
Now, if you ALSO want notifications about vehicles, then other configuration settings are necessary, but start with simple and build on that.
