New IP Camera Protocol I8S

Hello to All,

I use some IP cameras, all with ONVIF protocol.

Recently I found a new protocol named I8S.

Some cameras use this protocol (in addition of ONVIF and I8 of course), and this seem to be interesting (if used with a NVR with I8S also).

Someone know who sell these cameras? A Chinese vendor's name could be better.

The I8S super protocol seems to be traceable back to AeVision, better known as the maker of the $50 $19.5 Super Mini NVR.

Network administrators might not be too keen on multiple devices sharing one IP though.

Hi Chris,

yes, one of those could be aevision.

Do you know other supplyer of cameras with this protocol?

Unverified list of the vendors using proprietary "I-number" protocols. Apparently these were designed to handle discovery and other services, like VMD, that may have not been fully functional in ONVIF at the time they were developing these products.

As far as I can tell, I8, I8S, I9 are all a sort of generic protocol shared by some of the cheap Chinese manufacturers. The mini NVR we tested did indeed support them. I've seen them referenced in other manufacturers' literature as well.

I believe it's a driver for the common platform most of these cameras seem to be based on. Like how Wodsee, Cantonk, Longse, etc. all share an eerily similar interface, they share one or more of these protocols, too.

Hi Ethan,

yes, a lot of chap camera seem to have the same interface (maybe due to the microchip used).

Unfortuately, till now, only one had this protocol, and I would like to know if there are more.
