NOTE: If you are experiencing trouble with motion recording using an Illustra camera on Exacq, please also refer to the following article, HERE.
If you are attempting to confirm that motion detection is being sent from an Illustra camera to the VMS with Wireshark:
1. Be sure you are connecting to the camera via HTTP. Capturing encrypted HTTPS traffic will not provide readable data.
2. Start the capture, trigger the desired motion.
3. The camera data will look similar to this. The example displayed shows the camera at 192.168.0.6 sending TCP packets to the server at 192.168.0.90. Note: Depending on the devices and activity on your network you may have a lot of different sources, destinations and protocol types displayed.
4. In the display filter bar above, enter the following filter string:tcp contains NotificationMessage and tcp contains Motion
The filter displays only the packets indicating motion detection was included in the data sent to the server. In the above example, three packets were found.
5. Examining the packet closer you can view the XML message sent by the camera.
