[Camera Support]: Unable to get Onvif media profiles for camera: Sender not Authorized

[NexGen-3D-Printing]

Describe the problem you are having

This happended a few updates back, the auto tracking on my Dahua Camera stopped functioning, and just going through the logs I found this error: Unable to get Onvif media profiles for camera: Roundabout: Sender not Authorized

I did some searching, Ive added the following to my config: ignore_time_mismatch: True

But this did nothing, the error persists, this was functioning perfectly, I have also tried disabling authorisation, changing passwords, creating new users, tried different user profiles/groups, nothing seems to fix it.

Camera Details:

• Model = DH-SD1A404XB-GNR
• Onvif = 22.06(V3.1.0.1352011)

Version

0.16.2-4d58206

        # Optional: A value to change the behavior of zooming on autotracked objects. (default: shown below)

The "Sender not Authorized" error you're encountering with your Dahua PTZ camera in Frigate 0.16.2 is related to changes in the ONVIF library that Frigate uses(1). Several users have reported similar authorization issues after upgrading to Frigate 0.16.x(1)(2).

Based on community reports, here are the steps to try:

1. Set tls_insecure to false

The breaking changes in Frigate 0.16 indicate that setting tls_insecure: false (which enables TLS) has resolved ONVIF authentication issues for some users(2). Try changing your ONVIF configuration:

onvif:
  host: 192.168.0.196
  port: 80
  user: frigate
  password: password
  tls_insecure: false
  ignore_time_mismatch: true

(2)

2. Verify Time Synchronization

Ensure both your Frigate server and camera have synchronized time via NTP(3). ONVIF authentication can fail due to time mismatches between the camera and server(1).

3. Check Camera Authentication Settings

In your Dahua camera's web interface, verify the authentication mode. Some users have found success by:

• Switching between "basic" and "digest" authentication modes(1)
• Temporarily disabling "Login Verification" to test if authentication is the issue(1)
• Adjusting HTTP/RTSP authentication settings (digest with MD5 hashing)(2)

4. Enable Debug Logging

To get more detailed information about the authentication failure, enable ONVIF debug logs:

logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    frigate.ptz.onvif: debug

(1)

5. Verify Credentials

Double-check that:

• The username and password are correct
• The user has admin privileges (some cameras require admin access for ONVIF)(4)(3)
• There are no special characters in the password that might cause issues(1)

If these steps don't resolve the issue, the problem may be specific to your Dahua camera model's ONVIF implementation with Frigate 0.16.x's updated ONVIF library(1).

Well, that's the first time I've actually seen this AI crap do something useful, very cool, looks like this "tls_insecure: false" was the issue, just hashed it out, restarted and Roberts ya Fathers Brother!
