Camera won't connect

Could someone explain why IP cameras I try to connect to blue Iris that have a onvif password to connect to NVR or other software will not connect to Blue Iris? Blue Iris finds them but will not connect no matter what password I put in. It comes up with RSTP:400 Bad Request. I know they are not top of the line cameras but they should work. Actually the one I have is an Xgody camera that I have had working but once it's disconnected it will not connect again without a bunch of changing and messing around with everything. The other one I just purchased is a Treatlife Prosight PS10 and it does the same thing. I cannot get it to work at all with B.I. either. These are the only cameras I have with these onvif passwords and the only ones I have problems with.
Thank you for any help.
 
Do the cameras have static IP's in the same subnet as the BI server?
Have you inserted the camera's username and password into BI and clicked on "Find/Inspect"?
Do these cameras have embedded webGUI's that you can log into with a browser?

Yes to both of the first questions. My router that all my cameras connect to is an extension from the main router that is connected to the modem in the house and for some reason I can't see any of my cameras in my browser. All my cameras work fine in B.I. except these that have this onvif password thing for some reason. Also the cameras have no password only an onvif password to connect to NVR or third party software and I put the same one in both options in B.I.

No.
BI offers a web server which can be accessed using a browser. The cameras stream to the web server and it will serve the streams to a browser on a PC, smartphone or tablet..

A webGUI is generally embedded in a camera or other network device's firmware (router, Wi-Fi switch, nmanaged switch, etc.) and provided a means of configuring said device using a browser on a PC, smartphone or tablet.
 
Thank you for your reply. I just can't understand why my other cameras work fine just connected to my router and Blue Iris finds them and they all work fine just like that. But I have two that have this password in the camera app. that says it's for you to be able to connect to a NVR or NVR Software like B.I and no matter what password I use they will not connect even though B.I. finds them in the Find/Inspect option. It makes no sense to me.
 
Have you confirmed that you have ONVIF enabled? Maybe the issue is that it isn't enabled and so the password you are using for ONVIF isn't working on Bi. Also some devices that work in onvif require onvif as the user name have you tired it with it setup like that.. I don't know the cameras I just have some that require a password for onvif and some that require onvif as the username with the password that is setup for that user?

Yes these passwords in the camera app say this- ONVIF: Integrate with other NVR systems. Then you have to turn it on and set a password. I have checked it with both Advanced port scanner and ODM and they only find the camera once the onvif is turned on. B.I. also finds the camera in the find/inspect but will not connect even with the password . Not sure if having the password in both the username and password have anything to do with it but I have tried it with and without and lots of different ways and still no luck.

Can anyone tell me if this is some ting wrong that I need to fix or what. I have never used this. How do I fix it if need be. All the other ones before this have the green check mark.

I highly suggest that you not post your WAN (public) IP address.
