"Incompatible " ONVIF only supports the OSD options of your IP cameras. (Name/Date/Timestamp)

The product provides ONVIF compatibility, allowing you to add new IP cameras while keeping your old wired analog cameras. However, the ONVIF support is only for enabling the camera and recording, but does NOT support any camera functions other than setting the OSD boxes. (time, date, camera name). It may not matter much to some, but my IP PTZ cameras are equipped with Sony IMX335 sensors, advanced image options such as wide dynamic range, shutter speed, IRcut synchronization, SD CARD and FTP support, which are the main features nowadays. BUT BUT BUT, the biggest problem I have is that when any of my ONVIF IP cameras is ACTIVE in the DVR/NVR, it EXCLUDES ME from the camera configuration GUI, so I can remove the camera from the DVR/NVR DELETE only needs to switch cameras. ONVIF compliance is the means by which other devices such as DVRs, NVRs and viewer applications can act AS CONFIGURATION HELPFUL for a camera without having to login to the cameras built into the Graphical User Interface (GUI) just to make changes make camera settings. OVERALL PURPOSE To be an ONVIF compliant device. Before writing this review, I checked the firmware version in Annke, hoping to find it to update the device's ONVIF protocol version and maybe get camera resolution profile support, but no luck. I think I'll get that bastard back.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen
