I still get the random resets. It used to be at 1 am only but now it happens randomly through the day. It leaves a motion-detected event on my Blue Iris system. But it never blanks out my presets. I have three wz500 cams that have never forgotten their presets. I don't have any relevant ideas...

Ahh. I understand now. There are ways to install higher speed wireless mesh networks. I did that in one of my buildings where the camera streams were overwhelming the regular wifi. But that's not a simple fix and off topic for this thread.

I get the same feeling. I was on the verge of sending mine back when I found such poor firmware and support. I suppose you get what you pay for. Though now, with using Blue Iris and the config (above) for them, it's a decent camera with nice features. As long as I don't use the WebUI. What...

I assume you are using the FTP settings directly on the WebUI ? I tried to set that up but didn't get it to even try to log into the ftp server. I was watching logs too. I saw some annke knowledge base pages that said you have to then enable it in the Motion Detection tab under Video&Audio but I...

After my PTZ mysteriously stopped, I started trying every prebuilt setting for PTZ in Blue Iris to see if I could get it to work. After that failed I did it the hard way and mapped out all the "setPTZ" urls to PT directions/functions. Here they are. PTZ URL commands: Stop...

I've had a new oddity creep up this weekend. Blue Iris can no longer use PTZ functions or presets on the cameras that I have. First one camera's PTZ abilities went out (didn't respond) and then the other camera did too while I was comparing settings and rebooting to check for inconsistencies...

I've not been able to confirm it's firmware. I've seen reference to Tuya a few places but none of the versions numbers I've seen the camera loaded with match up to anything on Tuya's site. So I'm not confident enough to try to update the firmware with newer Tuya.

Well that's weird. We have different firmware, possibly. Here's mine: I just ordered 3rd camera. So I'll see what it has loaded in about a week.

That's great! Tuya is something smart-home that I've at least heard of. Tuya Smart - Global IoT Developer Service Provider Where did you find that string? Looking through the web UI I couldn't find anything more useful than "IPC-E2A5Z18-W-TY" for an app version, iirc. Was that in the mobile app?

In the month that I've been asking their support questions, I have yet to receive an answer that truly answered any parts of my long list of wz500 questions. They told me they'd talk to their engineers about releasing a firmware where you could disable the original restart message that played...

I have the same issue where the camera seems to re-orient it's PTZ at 1am. But for me, it returns back to the original location. Which is probably a 5x zoom location for me. If I had the same problem, the curl would be the fix I'd use too. I already set the camera to go to that over-night...

Hi @Arn0 I've been meaning to come back and say I found out how to do the constant-record. Like you said, it's in the app. I had found it a couple days back here: And wow, you literally replied to part two as I was replying. :) I was just piecing the URLs together by looking at the HTML /...

Aka 151CK or IPC-E2A5Z18-W-TY I started out getting the Annke NC800 a few months ago and was really impressed. And when I spotted the WZ500 with 20x optical zoom for under $100, how could I resist not giving them another try? 3 weeks in, and I've had countless issues with this cam. But have...
