    Dahua / Amcrest HTTP API

    Over one year later, the project has been rebooted. I will also be integrating Hikvision's API (SDK) into this one. I am attempting to build an application that puts me out of a job. Can I succeed?

    Ghosting..Dahua 5231R-ZE

    Dahua / Amcrest HTTP API

    After some deliberation, I managed to pull motion events that gave me the oldest date, but I am capped on 100 events per request and when I tried to pull over and over to get to the most recent, my object ID aka session ends and it throws an error.
