LAview LV-PWF1

[Phillip Liang]

Hi, I bought a LV-PWF1 and it was auto detected by Camect as ONVIF device.  however, how do I know the username and password ? Laview App does not have device login name and password.  Thanks.

I don't have high hopes, but you could try "admin" and "12345" or "123456789abc" to see if either of them happen to work. 

Laview online docs are really bad ... It's also not encouraging that in the faq on their own site here they say that the camera won't work with LAView NVRs.  However, it's interesting that Camect was able to detect the camera at all. It's possible that they do secretly support RTSP and Onvif, but don't list it in the specs. (Ezviz does something similar, and in their case the credentials are printed on the camera itself.) 

Your best bet would be to see if their customer support or someone in their forums knows if you get no answer here.

And this may or may not be the same as for your camera.

That one says they don't set a default one, but when you add to their app it has you set one...

Thanks.

Unfortunately  12345 and 123456789abc do not work.

it seems LV-PWF1 is still new and may not work with Camect ?

I see the Camect website list all LaView can work so I buy two PWF1.

Should I return the cameras or wait for possible solutions from Camect ?

The issue with your LV-PWF1 does not appear to be that it's a new model -- It's that you don't know the username and password for Onvif access, and unfortunately neither do we. 

Given that it is detected as an Onvif camera,  the camera does have at least partial support for Onvif -- and if it supports Onvif, it may  work if you can find the credentials to be able to access the camera. 

My apologies that the compatibility FAQ is a bit unclear -- it does not say that all  Laview cameras will work, but I acknowledge that we should word this better.  (It intends to say that models that support Onvif and RTSP , i.e. the vast majority of Lawview cameras, will work. We should add that it's still important to check the specs of the camera before buying to make sure you see either or both listed.) 

If you have no easy way (e.g. by asking the manufacturer or their forums) to get the credentials, but the cameras still returnable, consider returning them and instead getting some Ezviz C1C cameras. They're about the same price, the hardware is made by the same company (Hikvision), and several people on this forum have them working with their Camect systems.

just finished chat with LaView support. the person claims LaView does not yet support ONVIF and RTSP on PWF1. 

their team is still working on it.  hope the info help anyone interesting in PWF1. 

I am returning mine.
