    App With Motion Detection Alarm For Amcrest Cameras?

    I have 6 Amcrest cameras and use the Amcrest View Pro app, which I think is an excellent app. Very similar to gDMSS which I also use with Amcrest cameras. But there is one minor flaw with the app. It's lacking a motion detection alarm for a LAN I sent a email to the developer years ago, before...

    Question About Improvised Keystone Jack

    Yes, I recently found out about dielectric grease a few months ago when I noticed and researched the problem, I wish I had known about it earlier. And I read about a trick to suspend the coupler jack at the highest point so the rain drains down away from the jack, and not down into the jack...

    Question About Improvised Keystone Jack

    I have a Amcrest turret camera that was outside for several years, and the "water tight" ethernet connector didn't live up to it's intended purpose, and it corroded to the point where it would no longer get recognized by the router/get power I have attached a female keystone jack a few years...

    Very Strange Problem Suddenly Happened

    Yesterday I posted a problem I was having trying to get a brand new Amcrest ASH21 camera working on a LAN at my workplace. And I was told the ASH21 camera doesn't work like most other Amcrest cameras. Unlike other Amcrest cameras, the ASH21 camera requires a internet connection and the Smart...

    Help With ASH21-V2 Camera Setup

    I was hoping there might be away to flash the firmware, but maybe not. It wouldn't be a total loss if I could at least connect to the server with my cellphone, but it's bizarre they won't let you do that. They force you to be on wifi Internet, which suggests they are purposely forcing you to be...

    IP Camera Installation Question

    I have no idea how many meters are in the building, our parent company pays the bills. I suspect if there are three separate businesses, there are three separate meters. I don't even know where our meter is located There are two thin drywalls (a 20ft break room) between the front office where...

    IP Camera Installation Question

    I seriously doubt it, its a huge building partitioned up into 3 separate businesses, and electrical wires run through walls. This is just a minor problem, it's not a big deal if we don't have all cameras on the same WiFi connection I can put this one orphan camera at the back of the warehouse...

    Camera Feed Just Turned All White

    Lightly grease them is good idea, keeps the moisture out and sustains the electrical connection in case of a loose connection I now remember having a similar problem with one of those female couplers years ago, but it had nothing to do with rain or moisture because they were indoors and above...

    Camera Feed Just Turned All White

    Update #5- Final The problem was located. It was not the camera or the PoE power supply per se, it appears it was a female RJ45 in line coupler that was not fully water proof and got wet during heavy rains and high humidity. Since that line also supplies the power, it probably indirectly...

    Update #4 Now the connection to the camera has been lost, which makes me think it might be the PoE injector. Before I came here and posted the problem, I googled it and the AI bot said Check connections and power supply: Loose or faulty connections, or insufficient power supply to the...

    Camera Feed Just Turned All White

    Update #3 When I came into work today, I was surprised to find the daytime camera feed has fixed itself. It's back to normal, no more white-out. My initial assessment is that, because the problem happened during high heat, humidity and heavy rains , possibility internal moisture caused the...

    Camera Feed Just Turned All White

    Update. Playing with the exposure settings did little good. The daytime video feed is still a white-out. bigredfish suggested to "dial.in" the exposure settings, but I have no dial option in exposure settings. That might be because I have outdated software However the night time feed has...
