pain with Error check failed: '401 Authorization Required'

[zonepi]

Camera is DCS-5030l
Control tab:
-----Controllable [checked]
-----Control Type DLink DCS-5020L
-----Control Device <blank>
-----Control address:admin:<valid password>@192.168.1.197

it started out by working with presets for 1,2,3,4

I changed the name and then it stopped working, deleted and rebuilt monitor from scratch, factory reset camera, still won't work.
(also trying to use wireshark to get a packet capture of the user:pass handshake... no luck so far

LOGS:
When i monitor the log and try any of the links this appears:
tail -f zmcontrol_12.log
03/09/2022 16:15:52.305369 zmcontrol_12[165049].INF [main:127] [Control server 12/DCS5020L starting at 22/03/09 16:15:52]
