1. Issue

A bug has been identified on Wisenet 9 cameras where HTTP handover commands to an IP speaker fail during analytics-triggered events.
The camera does not complete the authentication process and playback does not trigger.

Handover failure logs show:

401 Unauthorized responses
ParseResponse failure during digest challenge

The same HTTP command works correctly on Wisenet 7 models.

2. Reproduction Summary

Platform	Models Tested	Firmware	Result	Notes
Wisenet 7	PNB-A9001LP	2.xx	Success	Handover triggers playback normally
Wisenet 9	XND-A8084RV, XND-A9084RV, XNO-A9084R	25.01.04	Fail	Speaker returns Digest challenge > no Authorization header sent

Conditions:

IVA or motion rule triggers HTTP handover
Speaker returns repeated authentication challenge
Playback never executes

Handover issue confirmed consistently on all tested Wisenet 9 models.

3. Root Cause

When receiving Digest Authentication challenge from the IP speaker, Wisenet 9 firmware did not generate the required Authorization header.

Consequences:

Digest authentication handshake does not complete
Handover packet parsing fails
Speaker blocks playback trigger

4. Resolution Status

The issue has been corrected by development.

Fix included in test firmware:

XNO-A9084R_99.99.99_20251107_R585.img

Validation status:

Confirmed working internally (HVE)
Confirmed working by customer on-site

Planned schedule:

Fix will be included in the next official Wisenet 9 firmware release
Release planned end of November 2025
