Amcrest IP8M-2779EW

Post by BiloxiGeek »

Been trying to get this camera setup. Running the onvif probe always runs into a problem. When it gets to "Detected Profiles" and you're supposed to choose there is no profile to choose from. Without that the Save button is greyed out and you can't get the config setup.

Anyone run into a fix for that and/or got a good working config for this camera?

I did get it working without the onvif. But I would like to figure out why the onvif wasn't working in this case. I just set up three new cameras two Amcrest and one ReoLink. The ReoLink worked with onvif no problem. One Amcrest worked and this one didn't. Got two more Amcrest cameras coming to upgrade some older Grandstream that are starting to fail. At least I know I can get them working with or without onvif.

Not Amcrest specific, but I have had a few cameras arrive with different "defaults", like not having RTSP enabled.
So browse into the camera config pages and look for inconsistencies.
