    Confused as heck about Hikvision event detection

    Just ended up using Smart - Intrusion detection only. Turned off basic and turned off the region/line options. Doesn't work great (a lot of false alarms and then sometimes vehicles are completely missed). Not impressed with the event processing in the FCD600 at all, hope the other Hik/Annke...

    Alternative app for doorbell notification and camera operation?

    If Amcrest would only add a switch to the SmartHome app to allow the motion (human) and doorbell call notifications to be set independently, I could probably make SmartHome work. I spent hours yesterday pouring through the doorbell config files to see if there was something I could change with...

    Alternative app for doorbell notification and camera operation?

    Nope. Neither version available for iOS (the old one or the new one in the app store) sees it as a doorbell and provides any 'call' notification. Let alone they are probably the sloppiest UI apps I've ever used. :( Thanks for the suggestion though, gave it a shot.

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    Anyone have any tips for improving image quality on this doorbell camera? Can't tell if my lens is going bad from a couple of years of sun exposure or what, but the picture is grainy both during the day and at night (though it was never really a great picture to begin with). At night, in...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    Anyone have any tips for the web GUI for the FCD600 camera? Every time I go in to make updates to settings, the web GUI gets very laggy and unresponsive, and some times saving settings is not successful. I hesitate to download the "plug in" that they recommend. Any tips appreciated. Thanks!

    Do codec and bitrate affect camera's *internal* motion detection?

    Curious if any of a camera's codec and bitrate settings affect its ability to detect motion and send corresponding events to an NVR? I use a varierty of different brand cameras and connect them to my Synology Surveillance Station. Since my Surveillance Station doesn't have any AI or...

    Alternative app for doorbell notification and camera operation?

    Hi all, My situation is as follows: Amcrest AD410 doorbell is one of eight cameras being managed by Synology Surveillance Station. I am seeking a simple, alternative app which will allow me to receive doorbell push notifications and quickly bring up the camera and intercom for the doorbell...

    IP5M-T1179EW vs. IP5M-T1179EW-AI

    Yea, I wish the Amcrest had the smarter detection in it, as I need something that can specifically identify humans and vehicles and avoid false alarms. That may be reason enough for me to upgrade...

    IP5M-T1179EW vs. IP5M-T1179EW-AI

    Thanks for trying! Hopefully it didn't brick your camera.

    IP5M-T1179EW vs. IP5M-T1179EW-AI

    Hi all, I see that the bunch of Amcrest cameras I purchased a few years back (IP5M-T1179EW) are now showing up with a slightly modified model number (IP5M-T1179EW-AI). It looks like the camera now includes some AI event detection functionality - possibly human and vehicle detection which I use...

    Confused as heck about Hikvision event detection

    I do too, but this camera gave me something I couldn't get with Dahua when I purchased it (and may still not be able to get): wide and tall FOV with IR for night.

    Confused as heck about Hikvision event detection

    Too many options, and they are not intuitive. In fact, I think there may be some software issues on these cameras to where the options aren't functional.

    Confused as heck about Hikvision event detection

    I bumped the sensitivity from 60 to 80 as an experiment, using intrusion only. The documentation behind the help button is somewhat generic to all/many cameras. It doesn't even mention vehicle/human selections on the Basic Event config as far as I could tell. Perhaps they weren't even meant...

    Confused as heck about Hikvision event detection

    Still trying to sort out event / motion detection on an Annke branded Hikvision camera. Asking here because I believe the configuration is about the same. What I want: To detect only humans and vehicles in my driveway. On my old Dahua cam it was easy to set and worked remarkably well. Now...

    Help with Hikvision event detection: basic vs. smart settings

    Thanks. This doesn't seem to be the case for me. If I enable Basic and check both human and vehicle, I get almost continuous motion - it seems to be picking up every flicker, every bug, every snowflake... If I do the same with Smart, it seems to improve, but I'm also not sure how Smart...
