Just got this Amcrest IP8M-2796EW-AI. Working to get it setup. I can't seem to get the Key Frame above .50 on the Main Stream. The Sub Stream is working great. I'm using Blue Iris 5.7.9.12. Camera firmware is up to date. Current Settings: Encoding: H.265 Smart Codec: Off Resolution...

Thank you for this post. I have the C6F0SoZ3N0PgL2 version of this camera. Has anyone found out how to trigger the audio alarm manually? I'd like to be able to turn it on/off as needed.

unfortunately no schedule in the camera. I was hopeful I could do it in BI. Maybe I can do something in Home Assistant if I can find the right commands. Thanks again - you've been very helpful!

I believe that it will, but it does make the camera black and white 100% of the time now.

First, I now have the keyframes at 1, so thanks for those adjustments. I think it was the bitrate, but regardless, it's working with H265. I'll try the H264 baseline next. The options look like this: Aemode: auto/indoor/outdoor Imgmode: Frame rate/Illuminance IR LED Control: Auto/On/Off I can...

I do have those options, I put them in my earlier post. Not sure if you see that, so I'll post again.

Here are the other 2 menus on the camera that have anything to do with camera operations. I have been playing with these to try to dial in the frame rate etc, so feel free to make recommendations. I can't seem to get the Key above .25. Framerate stays steady at 15. As for the light issue...

Thank you for this response. Here is the camera I purchased - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0894HGCRB?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I'm willing to accept the limitations of the camera, I knew that when I purchased it there would be some. It's a cheapo camera for sure with a very...

I've been in the camera web menu - it sucks. What I'm asking, is if you have any suggestions to help with this problem.

Hi All, New to BI so I’m still feeling things out. Also, my first home IP camera. It’s a generic Chinese PTZ camera with the “IP Camera” web interface. It is installed to look down my lane and is focused about 250 feet out - the IR is quite powerful and delivers surprisingly decent video...
