Help connecting to an RTSP/ONVIF camera "No Signal", VLC works

[Palmpilot]

Hi,

I got a cheap RTSP+ONVIF camera from Amazon and I am able to connect to the RTSP stream (video+audio) using VLC Player by using the following URL:

http://192.168.1.62:554/live/ch0 and then typing the username+pass as per the camera manual.

I am running VLC from the same PC that runs BI.

But when I try to connect from Blue Iris it won't connect.

This is the output of the Inspect:
Opening 192.168.1.62 port 80...
ONVIF GetSystemDateAndTime

Has WSPullPointSupport
RelayOutputs: 1
InputConnectors: 0
Has Device IO services: /onvif/device_service
AudioOutputs: 1
Has PTZ service: /onvif/device_service
Done

If I accept the settings that BI detected as-is, it doesn't work and I get: "No Signal"

If I try to change the URL to rtsp:// and then 192.168.1.62:554 it keeps reverting the URL to :80 as soon as I tab out of the URL field, and looks like this (and same "No Signal"):

Any idea why VLC works and BI doesn't?

THANK YOU!!!

Hi fenderman, Thank you!

I tried setting this camera's "H.264/5 HW decode" to "No" (and also all the other values in that drop-down) but am getting the same "No Signal".

Anything else that I should try before I give up and return it to Amazon (and instead probably pay some more money and get the Hykamic Cube instead)?

Here are some screenshots from ONVIF Device Manager (that is able to connect and control the camera just fine) with camera web configuration screens:

I turned off RTSP authentication for testing (but sadly same result):
