Imou Ranger 2: Access via ONVIF

[freemanfx]

I have a Hikvision DS-7608NXI-K2/8P NVR and I want to add it in the admin interface so that I can record and have the camera in the same app.

Hmm, I am not sure about your NVR. I don't have any problems adding my cameras to BlueIris regardless of the subnet it is on. It is only finding cameras in t he Config Tools where I have problems finding them. Does the NVR allow you to specify an RTSP feed? If so you can use something like this: rtsp:/192.168.0.247/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif

or

rtsp:/user: password@192.168.0.247/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif

Imou is Dahua's consumer products tradename. This concerns the Imou Ranger 2 camera. Works fine with the Imou app (formerly LeChange).

The specs state it is Onvif compatible. I would like to use it with iSpy software but have been unable to connect.

iSpy do not list Imou in their cam database, so have tried the auto-scanner - without success.

I have tried: ONVIF Device Manager (Synesis):
Login as: admin/<password>
Using address: http://<ip>/onvif/device_service
It reports:
"Sender not Authorized"
"(400) Bad Request"

I am aware that Dahua have removed the web interface from their Imou firmware but surely it
should still be Onvif contactable?

Any help woul be appreciated. It’s always tricky dealing with cameras that claim ONVIF compatibility but end up being so locked down. I’ve been there too, trying to get different devices to talk nicely with third-party tools. What really helped me figure out my setup was digging into a good overview of cross-platform solutions I found this see full details guide super helpful for getting a better grasp of how different systems can be made to play together. Not exactly a fix for your iSpy problem, but sometimes knowing what’s possible and what workarounds exist makes all the difference. Maybe check your camera’s firmware version too — some older ones still allow full ONVIF access.

I feel your pain some firmware updates make Onvif setup tricky.
Hope someone here has a good workaround!
