It looks like I finally got ONVIF to work. I've only tested it on one camera thus far. Even though the camera had the correct time, enabling Daylight Savings Time fixed the problem. What the heck? Now comparing to my python script which triggers through TCP port. I may like the ONVIF better if it proves just as reliable because it captures the event scores directly from the camera, whereas my version had to create its own event scores.

My Amcrest is working great, but I had to disable Onvif from my GW. It false triggered constantly, despite my turning the sensitivity way down. And many times the trigger locked on and zoneminder just keep recording forever. The Amcrest never does this.

It still could be my configuration on the camera, but I haven't been able to resolve it in 3 days of trying.
