Unable to authenticate Amcrest camera via ONVIF?

I'm trying to setup Shinobi as my NVR instead of having an entire system dedicated to it. I can login to my Amcrest camera via the webUI and create a new user account, view the password, etc. It also works fine on the Amcrest app on my phone, but Shinobi will not authenticate when I scan for the camera.

ONVIF authentication is turned on in the settings. I tried turning it off then back on again and it did not work.

Has anyone experienced this and found a solution? Or am I just dumb and doing something wrong.

I think for my Amcrest cameras I just don't have it use onvif.

Since posting this I figured out that I use the RTSP url, but it still doesn't work. It connects the camera to the monitor but it just displays a black screen. I just completely got rid of my Shinobi container and I'm just gonna figure something else out.

Just tested and the same error. Really wish Shinobi would work with Amcrest ONVIF. Back to Zoneminder.
