SE-NET-003: Connection refused

Something at the camera's address answered and refused the connection on the port SecureEyes used. The catalogue reads this as a wrong port number.

What it says

SE-NET-003: Connection refused. Check the ONVIF and RTSP port numbers for this camera.

Where you see it

On the Live stage (full screen shows no code), the camera's panel reads "<camera> is not responding" with the badge OFFLINE ("Loading <camera>" while a camera that has never played is still being tried), and an amber line under it ends with "Error SE-NET-003". The same failure is the subtitle of the connection row in the camera's settings under Connection & Access, and on a Mac wall window the tile shows NO SIGNAL or RECONNECTING with the bare code under it. It also comes as an error message after a camera action whose failure the app reads this way: Run test and Reboot under Maintenance, Check Again, Fetch Thumbnail, the Change OSD name switch, and Light on Live.

What to do

  1. 01Open the camera's settings: in Live, select the camera, choose Settings under the picture, then Advanced Settings. A camera saved with no stream shows Fix This Camera in place of the picture, which opens the same page.
  2. 02Choose Connection & Access.
  3. 03Under ONVIF port, choose Set Port, type the port the camera answers ONVIF on, and choose Save. Leave the field empty to go back to automatic.
  4. 04If the camera streams on a different RTSP port, set it under Stream profile with Enter Manually: type the RTSP port with the stream paths and choose Apply and Reconnect.
  5. 05Back on Live, when the panel reads "<camera> is not responding", choose Retry Now. While it reads "Loading <camera>" it is still retrying on its own and has no buttons.
