How to improve upon constant (false) motion detection from cameras?
HI all, I bought a series of different Dahua-style turret cameras for my recent security cam install. I'm using Synology Surveillance Station as my recording device. I'm realizing that cameras have a variety of different motion detection features. A couple of the cameras have "advanced event...- mooch91

How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features
Anyone? Could someone send me a screen shot of some of the "Event" setup screens following the upgrade? Thanks. -

Perhaps anyone set it up with Dahua DMSS and receive calls/notifications when not on their local network? -

Generic doorbell app for iOS?
Is it possible to receive notifications, see video, and complete a two-way conversation through my doorbell using a generic app? I have the Amcrest AD410 and hate the Amcrest app. It's also not integrating well with my Synology Surveillance Station for two-way communications. Was hoping there... -

AD410 (or AD110) alternate doorbell app?
I have an AD410 tied to a Synology Surveillance Station. I have the doorbell interface in the Amcrest Smarthome app. The doorbell interface in the Synology Surveillance Station doesn't really work either. I'm looking for an alternate doorbell app: simple notification, then ability to view and... -

IPC-HDW5442T-ZE artifacts
Maybe I'm expecting too much. Attached is with sharpness at 40, exposure 0-4, 3D and 2D DNR at 30. Doesn't seem much different/better. Granted, the lighting has changed much in the couple of hours since I took the first shot. -

IPC-HDW5442T-ZE artifacts
Hi all, Can you help a newbie set up the subject varifocal camera? To start with, I'm seeing a lot of artifacts in the daytime. I would have thought I'd be able to tell that the animal down by the fig tree was a chipmunk. You can see the driveway is grainy. And the spots on the hood of the... -

How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features
Hi all. For the Dahua firmware on the Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW-28MM: Does this give the option to set human or vehicle detection which the Amcrest does not provide? That would be about the only reason I'd want to upgrade, to get the human detection alert sent to my Surveillance Station so I can... -

IPC-T5442T-ZE pulsing at night
It doesn't look like IR keeps going on and off - there is a plant in the foreground of the image that stays illuminated while this is happening. But perhaps it is - hard for me to tell. I do have the transition set to a low value on all of my cameras - 2 sec I think. I could always play with... -

IPC-T5442T-ZE pulsing at night
I have had the subject camera installed for about a week. Seemed to work well, but last night I noticed a continuous motion alert from the time my landscape lights went out until sunrise this morning. Went and checked and the camera was pulsing all night, dim to bright. Has anyone ever seen... -

Waterproofing camera junction boxes
Exactly what I'll do - I have a wad of duct seal that I will use for this purpose, thanks! I don't know how to prevent straining the cables on the Amcrest cameras when I stuff them up in there - not much room to get a nice sweep with the RJ45 and the connector they use...- mooch91

Waterproofing camera junction boxes
Hi all, I bought some Dahua PFA130-E junction boxes for the purpose of under-soffit mounting my new Dahua and Amcrest cameras. These are beautiful aluminum boxes. Trouble is, I can't figure out how you are to make this box "waterproof" when using the back side knockout. It comes sealed with...- mooch91

New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
Also - I had my motion sensor settings reset themselves some time yesterday. I had it set to only notify on human detection and full motion detection alerts started around 15:30 EST yesterday. I know the app is finicky with resetting some settings when changing others but I made no modifications... -

New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
Mine has been dropping at about the same frequency as you’ve described. Hasn’t failed completely yet but it never reconnects on its own. Have to check if it is warm frequently (it does get hot eastern morning sun so this summer will be a real test) and the voltage on my transformer (believe it... -

New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
Also - it would seem that the notifications are not all independent in the app. For instance, I'd like to have the app stop telling me about motion and humans, but allow calls through. But I'd like the camera to pass the motion and human detection through to my NAS which would then do the... -

New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
Does anyone know what this doorbell needs to get an accurate picture in the notification? Does it need to have an active internal SD card? I've turned this feature off in the Amcrest software because it brings up either a logo screen, or live video, or something other than a snapshot when the... -

I made this change for [0][0], [0][1], and [0][2]. It looks too soft for daytime pictures for sure. <ip_addr>/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoInSharpness[0][1].Sharpness=0 I also made this change for the same. I don't know if it added anything... -

New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
Perfect, will review. After reading through the Dahua thread, I am finding myself wishing there was another app for receiving and answering the doorbell calls than the one Amcrest provides. It too is sloppy in functionality IMHO (iOS). -

Thank you. With this being the current config for sharpness within the API, can you suggest the puts to adjust to a different value? Thanks again! table.All.VideoInSharpness[0][0].Level=50 table.All.VideoInSharpness[0][0].Mode=1 table.All.VideoInSharpness[0][0].Sharpness=50... -

New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
That's what happened to me last night when I adjusted Sharpness (per recommendation earlier in this thread that it helped night vision) - the camera feed started pulsing as if it had a hearbeat and no additional changes could get it back. Did a factory reset and all was good. -

This is quirky as anything... making those changes reset my motion detection settings as well as the time format. Need to be careful making changes on this device! -

Scratch that - it just worked - now available in ASP! Must have needed the API move first to "free it up". :) -
