After upgrading to windows pro, and debloating and reinstalling BI, the fist thing I noticed was on the camera configuration page the ONVIF source says "videosource_1". Hopefully that change makes a difference...
Patch panel vs continuous runs?

Not sure why it decides to show videosource_1 or _0. Most all of mine are _0. Seems to work fine either way.
In BI, did you put in the IP address and username and password and hit find/inspect and let BI do its thing or did you select a camera from the pulldown?
Do find/inspect if you haven't.
If that doesn't do it, then delete the camera in BI and re-add and if that doesn't work, then post screenshots of the window that pops up when you hit find/inspect and screenshots of your settings in BI.

I actually never paid that Onvif source any attention! but now that it's been mentioned, I have 8 nightowl 5mp cams and 6 of 8 say " Video Source 1" and 2 say "00000".
But all are recording to the drive and sensing motion, and behave well enough that i never had to mess with that setting.

This isn't the core problem, but as I mentioned previously, when using Smartplan IVS, turn off both motion and smart motion.
I did that now. I may have misinterpreted that as turning off the BI motion. I've probably been at this for 8 hours now, and I am at the point where I just can't even come up with a different combination of settings.
As I sit here, a car drives by and my tripwires flash red, but nothing on BI. Run Blue Iris they said, it is easy to setup they said lol!
After turning SMD and MD off, redo the find/inspect.
Add the appears box to the IVS rule.
I would also switch to H264 and up the bitrate to at least 8192.
And use the substreams!!!

The ivs triggers are recording on the SD card, but nothing on BI yet. Should I be recording continuous+triggered, or continuous+alerts?
This is done. After inspect, I just added the substream before saving.

I installed a second camera of the same model and didn't update the firmware. It seems to be working correctly. I actually felt like a pro because I know the settings so well now. It definitely felt like a win.
At what point do you give up on a camera working correctly? I have 3 other cameras, that work perfectly, but this single camera is so inconsistent that I think I'm over it.

Try copying the same model camera that you set up in BI thats working. Then go into the BI setup for that new cam copy and change the IP to that of the one that you can't seem to get to work. See if that does it.
I can try that this evening if I can figure out how to copy a cam, but I am curious as to what difference it would make?
Just do add camera and then it will ask you if you want to use a copy.
Sometimes a camera gets wonky in BI and either deleting it and adding it back or copying from a known good working camera can fix it.

After 2 years I'm a rank amatuer. I have found how to use it for basic recording and LPR. ...it's easy. NOT 
For my next trick i'll install the autotracking camera that doesn't autotrack until you setup 452 different settings 
I catch all the assholes at the Condo doing Stupid shit so....Mission accomplished.

Lol, I've blasted through that option so many times I forgot it was there. Unfortunately after a copy it didn't immediately act right.
Even if I got it to work for a full 24 hours, how long would you all leave it testing before you were confident it wouldn't quit when you needed it most.
