My Illustra Camera Isn’t Recording Motion

Issue

Illustra cameras may be showing a status of “Motion not Supported” or motion is not being detected.

As part of cyber security compliance Illustra camera firmware is now defaulting to ‘Enhanced’ vs ‘Standard’ security resulting in the camera sending out metadata over HTTPS instead of HTTP. 

Resolution

Select one of the following options:

  • Update the Server version to 22.12.5 or higher.
    Exacq’s ability to accept metadata over HTTPS was enhanced in version 22.12.5. If your SSA does not permit you to update the ExacqVision Server version to 22.12.5 or higher, you will need to choose from the remaining options below.<br><br>
  • Factory default the camera and choose Standard instead of Enhanced security. See Article 14441 on the differences between Standard and Enhanced security modes.
  • Or if the camera is using Enhanced Security, then enable ‘Video over HTTP’ in the camera’s GUI
    • To change this setting, navigate to the Security page in the Illustra camera web interface.
    • Click the ‘Edit’ link beside ‘Video over HTTP’.
    • Place a check mark in the box adjacent to ‘Video over HTTP’.
    • Return to the ‘Add IP Cameras’ page in the ExacqVision Client.
    • Disable then re-enable the camera to pull the new camera settings.

Do not downgrade Illustra camera firmware on cameras that use iAPI3 interface

Affected Platforms

Illustra cameras running firmware that supports the iAPI3 inteface, including the i625 PTZ, i825 Fisheye and 2/3/5 MP Pro series models.

Description

Do not downgrade the firmware on any Illustra cameras using the iAPI3 interface. This can cause corruption and some iAPI3 requests could return “Internal Server Error” messages. In some cases, video will not stream.

Workaround

Reset the unit back to factory default firmware version and upgrade from there as neccessary. Documents and firmware are attached to this KB

This process requires requesting a service account password from Tyco based on the MAC address of the unit.

Resolution

None
