    Hi @...,

    Did you follow our Onvif Troubleshooting guide?
    If the camera can be discovered in ODM, it should be able to be discovered in Nx Witness.

    If it can be discovered and viewed in ODM, but it can't in Nx Witness, please capture the discovery process of Nx with Wireshark.

    If the device can't be discovered in ODM as well, I would recommend reaching out to your camera reseller and ask for newer firmware with Onvif support.

    When there isn't a fix available, you might be able to add the device manually as an RTSP stream as described in THIS support article.

    The following syntax might apply to your device:

    rtsp://<cameraIp>/
    rtsp://<cameraIp>/h264rtsp:////<cameraIp>/cam0/h264
    rtsp://<cameraIp>/live/h264/HD1080P
    rtsp://<cameraIp>/VideoInput/1/h264/1

    If all fails you can allow the camera to stream to any resource and capture the data with Wireshark and search the packets for the RTSP url.

    When you captured the communication, you open the search bar with Ctrl+F and enter rtsp (1), select String (2) and Packet details (3) and there (4) you can find the RTSP url syntax for the camera you want to use.
