    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    Forgot to ask - do you have the AD110 or AD410? If the latter, then the auto-update notice for the newer firmware isn't yet enabled for Android either. Also, for the AD410, the WDR option is present, but only for enable/disable. I will check my AD410 to see if it uses the same WDR...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    Huh, apparently the iOS SH app is not working exactly the same as the Android version. I am surprised the update notification was only working for Android (as of today). My AD110 wasn't showing any WDR option at all until this update was installed. I would suggest asking Amcrest Support...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    Hi @105437 I obtained the following setting by comparing the config before/after making a WDR change via the SmartHome app. Subsequent updates for the AD110 have oddly removed the WDR option in the app, but the config still has these settings. The AD410 can still enable/disable WDR via the...

    Amcrest AD110 - Button Push Event - An Unsolved Mystery

    Newer firmware isn't listed anywhere (except in these posts). The update notification feature is broken. You should ask Amcrest Support for it. Typically takes a day to respond. UPDATE (8/4/2022): As of today, the SH app now properly notifies that an update is available (20210422)...

    Amcrest AD110 - Button Push Event - An Unsolved Mystery

    Here's an update on my Amcrest support ticket asking about the firmware update process.. There was an exchange of 3 separate emails to get my questions answered. Q) Where are the firmware update release notes? A) Not available. "I'll inform the upper team for sure" Q) Is the automatic...

    Amcrest AD110 - Button Push Event - An Unsolved Mystery

    Just created an Amcrest support ticket asking about the "new" firmware update process - will post back how Amcrest replies. UPDATE (8/1/2022): Just now received a reply from Amcrest Support. They only provided a helpdesk cookbook reply attaching AD110 firmware and configtool install info...

    Amcrest AD110 - Button Push Event - An Unsolved Mystery

    Hey @saigmike - great to hear you're back on track with your integration! Yeah, I knew you would see right away your firmware was way out of date, but I didn't realize that Amcrest has apparently neutered the firmware update check in SmartHome. My suspicion is that they encountered way too...

    Amcrest AD110 - Button Push Event - An Unsolved Mystery

    Here's the header info for my 2+ year old AD110 that has had several firmware updates. Amcrest/Dahua Event Code Captures LakeHouse Camera IP: 192.168.x.x AD110 DB - HTTP API version=2.61 Firmware ('1.000.00AC006.0.R', '2020-09-22')

    Amcrest AD110 - Button Push Event - An Unsolved Mystery

    The device class for doorbells should be returned as "DB". It's odd you don't see that, but it's just an info header item. What's more troubling is your 400 error for camera.event_actions. I'm running this code now on both an AD410 and AD110 and not seeing any issue. You might want to...

    Amcrest AD110 - Button Push Event - An Unsolved Mystery

    2 years ago I was perhaps the first to post on Github how it was possible to detect AD110 doorbell press events. The capability to subscribe to any Amcrest/Dahua event was just added to the python-amcrest library back then, which was key. Amcrest_mqtt was initially used to pass these...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    Oh! I had mistakenly read your question backwards and thought you were wanting to update an AD410 to Lorex firmware. Adding API capability, not removing it, of course makes a lot more sense. At the chip level, they are the same, but theoretically possible is still just a gamble.

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    I've never heard of anyone attempting that. Flashing should be possible through the config tool "Device Upgrade" option, but if the AD410 will accept Lorex F/W and not brick is a different matter. So is it still true that Lorex firmware neuters the Dahua HTTP API over port 80 ability? If...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    Yeah, the API discovery via CGI dump technique you used is exactly what I've done and documented before (perhaps in a different forum). This is one of those rare commands that does not show up in the "All" config dump as being changed. I ran into the same issue trying to determine how quick...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    I can show you what the AD410 firmware configurations are for sound. Typically issuing an http API/CGI call using this info can control most camera/doorbell features. However, I wasn't able to trigger the siren via the API with the quick testing I tried...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    I would get a new transformer installed first. Your AD410 might start working better unless it is already fried. (BTW - Sebastian was referring to a different doorbell - an EZViZ DB1C that experienced a similar issue).

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    As long as you are still within the 1 year warranty from your first purchase, my advice is to go for another RMA replacement. Unfortunately, your first RMA does not extend the warranty. FWIW, I have an AD110 working reliably for 2 years now . I also have an AD410 that had to be replaced...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    The AD410 is supported quite nicely on Home Assistant using either the core Amcrest Integration or the custom Dahua integration. Both are actively supported by the HASS community. Full event handling is possible, including doorbell press and human motion event sensors to trigger automations...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    @TechBill - A month ago I came up with a way to use both the side angle mount and downward mount in combination to achieve what you were hoping for. As you know, these mounts are designed to be attached to the AD410 base as one or the other, not both. You start with breaking off the small...

    Sigh - was hoping that bong smoking emoji would be a clue that my post was intended as a pun - using almost the exact wording as the OP. Not as a serious question. Not a U-Turn. But a failed attempt to merge how the thread diverged into exploding toilets with cracked plates! Now I know why...

    Hi, Is there a replacement mount for the Amcrest IPM-80? I may have cracked the plate (to smithereens).:smoking:

    Have you considered repairing the plastic part yourself? Look at PlastiFix. (Available in black, white, or clear). This stuff is excellent for bonding plastic, and even filling in gaps where pieces may be missing. My Mercedes plastic fuel door broke off and the dealer quoted $700 to...

    Unboxed my Amcrest 15 min ago and already having issues

    I'm using Home Assistant with the Amcrest (or Dahua) integration to trigger on any doorbell or camera event, including button press. This trigger initiates a recording locally to an SSD drive of both an mp4 and jpg snapshot. HASS can then use a variety of push messaging apps, such as...

    Unboxed my Amcrest 15 min ago and already having issues

    Yes - you can! In addition to doorbell live view, 2-way talk is also supported in AVP. It should also support motion detection push notifications but I haven't set that up since I'm receiving those notifications via Home Assistant and Telegram with images. There are things you must use...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    It must have been ASP that did that, as notice you see the crossregiondetection blue lines shown in ASP. So when ASP (and other s/w) writes back changes to the AD410 config, it does so in a "package" as if it were a normal Amcrest camera. This is where the problem lies - ASP, et.al, hasn't...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    That's really weird - sorry, just wanted to be sure we were on the same page. Yes, AD410. I wonder if the fact I had moved my timestamp via the API before discovering that ASP (or NVR UI) could do it somehow enables it to be recognized by ASP as a movable object? That seems very unlikely...
