M7MY ip cam from microseven  - can't get it to work with IP basic. Any ideas? I use the discovery and it finds the ip/port/camera - but the scan for onvif finds no mjpeg  URLs?
How exactly does the app work? "Discover" shows a "link" (ONVIF) but selecting that doesn't work.

The application only works with cameras that support jpeg/mjpeg encoding. If your camera has a "substream" make sure is configured as "mjpeg".

Thanks - I've contacted the company to check this out.

Would this app work with any of the video doorbells? (nest, ring, skybell, etc)

I want to get a video doorbell but don't want creepy Alexa/Google home devices surveiling me all the time. <sigh> Although one wonders how different they are from carrying a smartphone around all the time.

If the cameras provide mjpeg stream or even just a jpeg snapshot url, then yes, you can connect with the IP Camera Viewer (of course, with the snapshot url, you get low FPS).

Do you have a list of cameras this app will work with? I have not purchased cameras yet. I’m thinking about Wyze Cams. They are very inexpensive and get great reviews. Are these compatible with your Roku channel? If not, do you have any comparably cheap but highly rated cameras to recommend that work with your channel? Thank you!

Thank you very much for creating this Roku station! I have an EasyN 1080P camera that is ONVIF and P2P compatible. I have successfully connected to it with the EasyN Android app, and the TinyCam Android app, too. But the IP Camera Viewer Pro is unable to find it automatically. If I manually provide the URL (192.168.1.43), and port 8080, login and password, it is still unable to connect to it. Do you have any suggestions?

You'll have to find the mjpeg or snapshot URL for your camera and enter it manually in the application. The application only supports mjpeg cameras (or just jpeg encoded streams).

hello, I have an Alibi ALI-NS1014VRB camera that says it is Onvif S compliant but I can't get the ROKU Pro app to connect to it using the onvif configuration or any other settings.  I can use the VLC media player on my computer and connect using rtsp://userid:password@10.0.0.101:554/h264 and have tried setting up the ROKU app using this as the stream URL.  Am I doing something wrong or is this camera just not supported?  The app appears to be trying to connect, (wheel spins and sping), but nothing ever comes up.
