[Camera Support]: Amcrest IP4M-1098EW AI

[ha88rgc]

Describe the problem you are having

Hello,

I'm having an ONVIF setup issue with the Amcrest IP4M-1098EW AI PTZ camera. In talking to Amcrest support I was told that ONVIF is supported and available on port 80. The guy sent me a screen shot for a valid Blue Iris config, on which it is working.

In the Frigate logs however, I get the following error Onvif is not setup for 92_ml_driveway_cam. Streaming and recording works fine. Please see my config below the screen shot. What am I doing wrong here? Should be working in Frigate if it's working in Blue Iris, right?

it looks like you are using different user / password between the two. You will need to make sure onvif user has been created as amcrest often has separate users for general viewing and onvif

[NickM-27]

ideally you want them to be in sync, you can always have the amcrest camera sync with the router's time server

Do you still have issues with this ha88rgc? I have the same model and might be able to help.

@DocDre3000 @ha88rgc Did you get auto tracking to work with this camera?
I would buy a couple of them, but need to know if tracking will work.

Thanks!

[DocDre3000]

@nikosch86 Yes the tracking does work very well actually. Let me know what I can provide you. Maybe firmware version or what not to help you further.

[nikosch86]

Thank you for getting back to me, perfect, I'll order them.
