Wansview W6 IP Camera ONVIF Setup

[random_string]

When I try to add a monitor through the ONVIF stream probe, it detects the camera, but I select the camera and click next, the detected profiles list is empty and I cannot click save. I've look around and I cannot find anything showing the function of the detected profile, or where to set them. Is there any way to get around this? I can get the camera feed to show up using RSTP, but the link is VERY unreliable. I have it set to a static IP at the router. One thing I've noticed is, when the RSTP link is down in zoneminder, the wansview app can easily show me a live view. I'm hoping the ONVIF stream will be more stable.

Also, is there a way to change settings in the camera without accessing the app? I hope to eventually block the cameras from "phoning home", but it would be nice if I could hack into it somehow to be able to change IP addresses or wifi passwords manually without having to send my wifi keys to PRC.

It might be worth trying with the current ZM version 1.36.x.

Do you have any reason to think the newer version won't have the same problem? I ask because I don't want to spend days trying to get this running again, only to end up with exactly the same problem.

Can you tell me where those profiles are setup and what they do? I can't seem to find anything in the documentation about the profiles. Are they the camera profiles that are listed elsewhere in the presets page?

Profiles are a function of onvif and indicate capabilities of the camera, like pan and tilt.
