EZVIZ CS-H6c WiFi cameras found via ONVIF search on Dahua XVR1B08 but won't authenticate
Hey everyone, hoping someone here has dealt with this before.
I have two EZVIZ CS-H6c-R101-1G2WF WiFi cameras and a Dahua DH-XVR1B08-I/T XVR. Both devices are on the same subnet, cameras have static IPs. The RTSP stream works perfectly — VLC pulls it up fine with the verification code. So network connectivity is not the issue.
The XVR finds both cameras instantly via Search Device as ONVIF devices. That part works fine. The problem is authentication — they show a red dot, login failed/timeout when added. This was happening on V4.003 and still happens after upgrading to V4.004 which claimed to add WiFi camera support.
Things I've already tried:
- Every manufacturer option in the XVR manual add dropdown (Private, ONVIF, etc.)
- Plug and Play toggle on the XVR
- EZVIZ desktop app and iVMS-4200 Remote Configuration to check camera settings
- Direct browser access to the camera on port 80 and 8000 — both refused connection
The verification code from the camera label works for RTSP and Hik-Connect but not for ONVIF authentication on the XVR. Open to any suggestions on what I might be missing.
Also a separate but related question — since IMOU is a subsidiary of Dahua like EZVIZ is of Hikvision, has anyone had better luck integrating IMOU WiFi cameras with a Dahua XVR? Wondering if that's a viable alternative or if it runs into the same issues.
Thanks
