    Download Files from SD card.

    I did search *.mp4 and the files are not on the PC. I tried Microsoft Edge and the files downloaded properly to the downloads folder. There was no plug-in offered. It appears that the Amcrest web interface is not compatible with Firefox. Is Amcrest not aware that IE is an obsolete, non-secure...

    Download Files from SD card.

    Yes I have read the manual. No one uses Internet Explorer. Are you saying that the Amcrest web interface does not work with Chrome or Firefox? There is a download arrow next to each file on the SD card. All I am asking is where is it putting them.

    Download Files from SD card.

    Come on guys. You should be able to select a file on your camera SD card and download it from the web interface. Please do not respond if you have no idea.

    Download Files from SD card.

    I have no interest in the app at this time. I would just like to download selected videos from the SD card to my PC using the browser. Thanks

    Download Files from SD card.

    I have an IP8M-T2669EW-AI. Using an internal SD card for videos. Tried to set the path to download recorded videos and it says "All downloaded files will save to your current browsers download folder" This is the only option. However, they do not appear in my browsers download folder after...

    Lens recommendations for this location?

    I have a limited choice for mounting my front door camera. It is as high as possible in the corner. Would you recommend a 2.8, 3.6 or 6 for this application? Thanks

    Fire Cube vs Nvidia Shield for Tinycam?

    Has anyone compared the performance of the Fire Cube vs Nvidia Shield for running Tinycam Pro? In theory the Nvidia should be much better but it also costs twice as much. Thanks

    Nvidia Shield + TinyCam Pro

    It looks like the Nvidia Shield Pro is the most powerful device available. At about half the price, how well does Tinycam Pro do on the Fire Cube with four cameras?

    Dahua has a new water proof junction box PFA130-E / PFA130E for Turrets ( PFA137, PFA139 )

    I just received two of these boxes. They seem to be high quality and the variety of bolt holes should fit most cameras. It supports 3/4" conduit fittings. The only real engineering oversight is only two conduit holes instead of four. It may not matter to most but I could see how someone may...

    Hot Cameras?

    Wow. Would you expect the 4k camera to be better in the daylight? I have narrowed to down to the Loryta IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED or the IPCT-NITECOLOR-DM2 sold by IPcamtalk. Very similar Dahua vs HIKvision?

    Hot Cameras?

    Yes, I am just using the default settings. I am using this camera for testing all my location before purchasing more. Today I drove the car through the circle drive, exiting to the street on the left. From the video clip I was able to read the plate all the way to the street which is about 40ft...

    Dahua Warranty and Source?

    I just purchased an Amcrest camera and it comes with a 1 year warranty. The Dahua version of the same camera comes with a 3 year warranty. Dahua cameras often offer a three or five year warranty if you buy from an authorized seller. Is it possible for individuals to purchase Dahua with a...

    Hot Cameras?

    This seems like a pretty good camera for $120. I started searching for cameras with larger sensors and they cost about twice as much or more. Here is a pic from my 1440 monitor. If a car is pulling out of the driveway, about 40 ft, you can barely read the license plate. Zooming makes it worse. I...

    Hot Cameras?

    I am new to this but I have run a lot of cable and did a bunch of research. This is the first decent camera that I have purchased and actually played with which is why I am asking so many questions. You seem to dislike the design of this camera? A lot of compromises to get 8MP at a reasonable...

    Hot Cameras?

    I just started playing with an Amcrest IP8M-T2669EW-AI It seems to run on the warm side. Indoor with a room temp of 75F it runs at 100F at idle. (measured on housing surface) Frightening to think just how hot it will run with outdoor temps in the 110 to 120 range. Is this to be expected from a...

    Fire Stick with Amcrest or Dahua?

    Thanks. Installed Tiny Cam Pro last night. Nice little app. Still extremely slow. I suspect the WiFi just cannot handle it. I wonder if the hard wired Fire Cube would make a big difference. It discovered three Amcrest cameras even though there is only one on the network. The login would not work...

    Amcrest Camera Live Feed Delay

    The camera is at 20 FPS. The camera is on a Netgear POE switch that is connected to the router. The pc I am using is connected to a port on the router so it should not actually be routing it. Maybe they are just trying to do to much within the limitations of the camera? 30 second delay is pretty...

    Amcrest Camera Live Feed Delay

    I just installed an Amcrest IP8M-T2669EW-AI camera. Everything seems normal except there is a long delay (20-30 seconds) on the live feed on both the web interface and Blue Iris. i.e if you walk past the camera it shows up on the live feed 30 seconds later. Its a small network with very little...

    Fire Stick with Amcrest or Dahua?

    Tonight I was experimenting with Firestick Browsers, Silk and Firefox with an Amcrest IP8M-T2669EW-AI. I was able to login with Silk but the frame rate was about one frame every 10 seconds. The Firefox browser asks you to install a plug-in but then locks with a 404 error. Is there a decent way...

    Any reviews of Amcrest IP8M-T2669EW-AI ?

    What is the current firmware for this camera? I could not find anything on the Amcrest site. Has anyone actually tried the Dahua firmware? Is it really better? This is my first Amcrest camera. It appears that you can do very little from the web interface? Thanks

    AI and Amcrest Questions

    Is there any advantage to an AI camera stand alone without an NVR or Blue Iris? For home use where would be the best locations for AI cameras? My understanding is that the Amcrest NVR only supports viewing of only two AI cameras at a time. Are they worth the extra cost? Also, I have compared...
