These are RTSP port 554 only so no ONVIF (default user is root:pass) but here's a sample RTSP profile URL that limits them to 10fps:

/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h265&fps=10&Axis-Orig-Sw=true

Does anyone know if the AXIS P3737-PLE quad sensor cameras are compatible with SecuritySpy?

Thank You

Is there anything I can do to plug up any potential exposure, ie: backdoor vulnerabilities or a way to prevent data from leaving my network?

Not paranoid, just curious as this issue hits many manufacturers and would like to plug any holes (if they can be)

Important Message from Amcrest Industries

For the past 12 years, we have proudly built the Amcrest brand in the United States in partnership with Dahua, the world's second-largest manufacturer of IP surveillance cameras. Due to recent FCC regulations, however, we are no longer able to import Dahua-manufactured products into the United States.

The good news is that we have partnered with Foxconn—one of the world's largest electronics manufacturers and the company that assembles Apple's iPhone—to launch our next-generation of IP surveillance products under the AMLINK brand.

AMLINK delivers high-quality, NDAA-compliant IP cameras and NVRs designed for both residential and commercial applications. The platform supports third-party integration through RTSP and has been engineered for a smooth transition from existing Amcrest systems. AMLINK cameras are compatible with Amcrest NVRs, and Amcrest cameras are compatible with AMLINK NVRs, allowing customers to expand or upgrade their systems without replacing existing equipment.

For more than 12 years, we have remained committed to delivering exceptional customer support, a U.S.-based warranty, and reliable, high-quality products. That commitment continues under the AMLINK brand. Our customers can expect the same dedication to end-user privacy and security, dependable hardware and software, and the intuitive, user-friendly experience that has defined our products from the beginning.

While our manufacturing partnership has evolved, our mission reamins unchanged: to provide innovative, reliable surveillance solutions backed by outstanding customer service and long-term support.

What to get, and what to avoid?

What are you all using?

I can't fine tune the pan-tilt at all. No way to bump it a few degrees left/right/up/down. Will only move in something like 30 degree increments. Tried its web interface, tried various options from within SS. Appreciate any other suggestions.

You have to first enable RTSP on the Aqara app. The camera does not use ONVIF so you need to use a manual configuration profile to enter the details (IP address, username, password etc) generated by the app.

Am I doing something wrong?

First is we have a small house on the coast, and I have a camera on the front yard/entry, under a large overhang and facing east - Works ok, other than a pretty continual spider problem. But I would like to put a camera on the west side of the house, to see the beach and ocean, just so I can look at it and cry while I'm stuck in the city working. But it will have no overhead cover, and be facing directly into the full impact of weather, salt water, and intense sun - any recommendations?

Second, I'm still looking for a doorbell camera for the front door of my warehouse - I had a Ring camera, but it got beaten to death by some junkie that thought it was surveilling him - so whatever I get has got to be pretty durable, or someone has to offer a serious cage assembly to protect it. That may not be available (yet) - but wondering if anyone has seen anything -

If you've got an old cheap ip camera that you want to give a second chance at living a useful life, you've gotta check out this open source firmware replacement project: Thingino.

I've had a Wyze V3 sitting on my shelf for the past few years because of lack of RTSP support and total dependency on being internet-connected (it would frequently reboot simply because it was not connected to the internet).

Well, today I randomly decided to see if there had been any development in this area and that's where I found Thingino. Within 5 minutes I had the SD card flashed and configured with ONVIF in SecuritySpy. I got my Wyze V3 back with none of the terrible app ties or internet connection dependency. It even has a "paranoid mode" which makes it work even faster when you're connecting the camera to a no-internet network, for example.

This is the best camera experience I've had in years and I had to share.

Check it out - quickly improve your cheap old cameras and use them again. :-)

also check out this github for prebuilt SD card images:

I have tried various options and profiles but have not been successful.

I would appreciate any help!

We are entering our 10th year now since selecting SecuritySpy for our home and business security needs and we have been super impressed with the functionality, reliability and innovation of the folks at BenSoftware.com. We have used primarily Foscam FI9800Ps purchased before their manufacturing QA problems arose and only 3 of the 14 originally purchased have failed. I am now looking to expand our system and need a compatible camera that has an alarm that can be triggered in the "Actions" section of SS or by the camera itself. It needs to be WIFI compatible, bullet shaped and PTZ units are needed, powered at site of installation, with a loud alarm to keep birds away from protected areas. If the cameras also had flashing lights that would be a bonus but not absolutely required.

EDIT: Can be triggered by the camera itself or by "Actions".

NB: In the interim my AI has indeicated the following on Amazon might work and I will test it now: "REOLINK Home Security Camera System, 4MP HD Plug-in Indoor WiFi 6 Pan Tilt Pet Camera, Baby Monitor, Night Vision, 2 Way Talk, Smart Human/Pet Detection, Local microSD Card Storage, E1(2 Pack)". Other suggestions certainly welcomed.

Thanks in Advance for any assistance.

Does someone have experience with a small camera - pinhole is fine but small dome probably ok - camera that works with securityspy?

i would want poe or at very least cabled (no wifi only).

I have looked at what some of the bird sites have and none look suitable.

right now best i can figure is a reolink or amcrest dome mounted inside top and build box tightly around - but hoping to do bit better than that size wise.

I am looking for a camera like this one https://amcrest.com/4k-dual-lens-panoramic-poe-ai-camera-ip8m-dlb2998ew-ai.html

TIA

Trying to figure out if I can installed a wireless Hikvision camera and have it set up/linked to my current SecuritySpy setup. It will be the only wireless camera I use, along with my other PoE (ethernet cabled) cameras. Reason being the spot I wish to installed is difficult to connect with an ethernet cable.

I attach here a spec of the wireless camera I wish to install. Not sure if there are any info on this that indicate it's compatible with SecuritySpy system.

Thanks.

I'm trying to work out a problem with a Sunba camera at my parents house. From googling, I think it is a 507 series model, so an older PTZ.

It WAS working okay, but I bought a new Mac mini for them and somehow in moving SS over, I have messed something up. :-(

Looking at the old configuration (I still have the old Mac mini) it seems it was using ONVIF, RTSP (video and audio) with no username and password (!) Before the address was `uuid:` and a bunch of numbers/letters. I guess this means it was auto discovered? This does not seem to work any more, but I can see it on the network and log into it, so I just put the IPv4 address instead of the uuid.

However ... I don't see any video. I looked in the ONVIF.log and I see:

POST /onvif/device_service HTTP/1.1

Looking in the main log I see:

01/06/2025 10:02:04 Error communicating with camera "Movable Camera". Error from network device. ONVIF error. 5.5.11,8440,8872

Weirdly, when logged into the camera there seems to be nothing I can do to set it up (the video feed doesn't even work because it needs some ActiveX plugin). And when I go to the sunba website it seems like everything I can download for macOS won't work on this brand new M4 Mac mini. Any suggestions would be gratefully received!

The camera is set to have ONVIF enabled and it has selected port 8080 as default in camera web GUI. Enabling ONVIF does not bring up any dialog for setting an ONVIF user ID. Actually nowhere in the camera web GUI have I found a place to set up anything other than the admin user.

Video format is set to H264 on camera.

On SecuritySpy end, I set profile to ONVIF. RTSP

I see a connection being attempted by no video frames get streamed.

On Amazon I've noted an interesting device by AOSU but I can't figure out if it will work with SS. Would love to hear other's experiences.

I've recently installed a SUNBA Illuminati camera and have not been able to get the PTZ working. I've logged in to the camera as an ONVIF user, and have the camera set up in SS settings as an ONVIF camera with H.265 RTSP.

I'm not able to get the PTZ to work at all in SS. I've checked all settings in both the camera and SS but can't find where I went sideways.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a solution?

Thanks!

I’m interested in this camera. Has anyone here tested it?

https://store.imou.com/products/cruiser-dual-3mp-3mp-5mp?_gl=1*14refnj*_up*MQ..*_gs*MQ..&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjIHf-PW7iwMVCVZBAh2nXD0GEAAYASAAEgK2RPD_BwE&gbraid=0AAAAAprLeJoTGkpB-of2T86xzs0C5TmgC

Is each camera recognized individually in SecuritySpy, allowing for different settings to be applied ?

Does the PTZ function work for each camera separately ?

Is it mandatory to use the Imou app and create an account ?

Is it compatible with HomeKit Secure Video?

In short, any information is welcome!

I’m open to any suggestions for an affordable outdoor WiFi camera :

PTZ or wide-angle fixed, ideally without requiring a third-party app, so with a web interface (I know Imou cameras don’t have one).

I don’t need anything too sophisticated, 1080p can be enough for me, and good dynamic range would be a plus (to prevent the sky from being overexposed).

I know that’s a lot of questions, but with so many options available, getting advice from someone with experience would really help me make the right choice.

Thank you !
