GW Security 5061IP - error 1245
Hello
I'm having an issue with an IP camera here. It's a GW Security 5061IP, and it works fine in other applications, e.g. TinyCamMonitor on Android and VLC on my Mac, but not in SecuritySpy. It can connect, but gives the following error:
2017/04/26 17:00:52: Error communicating with the network device "SH-CAMERA". 4.1.4,70184,1245 Failed to obtain video frame from network device. Could not determine video stream dimensions - check video encoding settings in the camera (e.g. try H.264 encoding with baseline profile).
Now, the camera is apparently set up in H.264 with baseline profile. Here's a screenshot [https://www.dropbox.com/s/nh8bz4ypdezs353/Screenshot 2017-04-25 21.05.26.png?dl=0] of it's settings screen, showing H.264 and a setting called "BaseProfile" enabled, which I presume means baseline profile. However, I suspect the camera may not be outputting baseline profile - how can I check the exact output of the camera? VLC just lists H.264. I've tried it enabled and disabled, and various resolutions - none of which work. I can grab JPEGs from it in SecuritySpy using a manual profile, but they are only available at low resolution and around 6fps.
Here's the SecuritySpy settings that I'm using: https://www.dropbox.com/s/16xk2q5ei9xibmq/Screenshot 2017-04-25 21.05.46.png?dl=0

Also, this is a really good camera, at least for what I'm using it for. Excellent quality, great frame-rate, and the manual zoom and focus is incredibly useful. Main downside is you need to use a PC to configure the camera itself.
Are any of the camera's settings configurable using a Mac web browser, or do you have to use Internet Explorer for all the setup?
