New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
ASP: Doorbell>Camera>Encode>Overlay This menu shows the time surrounded in a yellow box with red corners to expand the size. Clicking on the yellow box lets me drag it anywhere. If this doesn't work for you, I can't explain it. Use the API instead. -
New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
My ASP Windows app has this feature. (Version 2.003.x1 2020-11-30). Is yours the latest? The API can also be used to move it, once you figure out the coordinates to use. The example below moves the time to the bottom left... -
New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
That sucks. I've changed the doorbell sharpness to 0 using my Dahua NVR and that sort of worked - but I found it changed and added numerous other settings. As I was saying - I am find it safer to use the API to change specific settings. You are probably going to have to do a factory reset... -
New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
I typically use the CGI API to make specific changes as sometimes other software has unexpected knock on effects to video quality. But for something as simple as moving the time stamp around, you can use Amcrest Surveillance Pro (Camera/Encode/Overlay) to drag it wherever you want. It doesn't... -
New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
Hi @teredactle - The CGI API for the AD410 supports changing any video encoding option. Now, I haven't personally tried changing it to H.265 since my normal browsers and Home Assistant don't support it, but it should work fine since the specs list it as a supported encoding. The default... -
New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
Well, hells bells - I'm thunderstruck that I forgot those power terminals were AC/DC. :headbang: Have fun with your remodel and wiring projects! -
New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
Good luck with those workarounds if you get around to it. A cheap smart speaker with the microphone turned off would do the job without any wiring. I have an old Google Audio-only dongle connected to a cheap amp that drives all the 50yr old existing NuTone wall speakers in each room... -
New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
Hi @F1rby - thanks for the mention, and happy to see many posts here were helpful. When you install the AD410 with the SmartHome app, you choose between no chime or a digital or mechanical chime. The latter 2 options require you install the chime kit first, as if you don't, you can fry your... -

I was also confused by B&H listed price as It clearly shows the DH-DB6I price as $255.58 (USD) upon a search. However, if you logon to B&H, it will show you "their price" as $181.95. -
New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
@Dixit - the next time you have to do a factory reset, immediately after you get it back online, capture a complete configuration or just the factory video settings. Then, if you use ASP, NVR, SmartPSS, ConfigTool, etc. to make a single change - capture the video configs again to compare. I... -
New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
@victorhooi - what amperage rating was the 5VDC USB power source you used? It should be 2A minimum. I am trying to find out what Amcrest's take on using the USB port as a power source to see if somehow they approve it despite Dahua's caution not to. -
New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
Hi Victor - 1 - MicroUSB 5V power stability - I don't recall anyone mentioning this being an unstable alternative to the typical doorbell transformer power. The AD410 specs don't mention it, BUT the tech specs for the Dahua Dh-DB6I sure does. It says in a footnote: "Do not supply power to... -
New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
I did have to return mine after 6 months - not due to a power up issue, but it just suddenly lost focus somehow. It had been perfectly stable up to then, no reboots or any other problem. RMA warranty exchange with Amcrest went smoothly, and I was pleased to have received a complete new... -
AD410 vs AD110 doorbell?
All Amcrest SmartHome devices must be initially set up with the Android or iOS SmartHome app. No getting around it that I know of. It's a quick and easy process though. Also note that there is no web UI in these devices, but there is a web server that responds to http CGI commands... -
AD410 vs AD110 doorbell?
I have both. Easy pick to go with the AD410. The additional $60 cost is justified for the primary purpose of identifying when someone (not something) approaches the door. The AD410 has a reliable human detection feature that the AD110 lacks, and this makes a huge difference in minimizing... -
Does the Amcrest AD410 take 24V DC?
Billyjack - 24V DC? That's the key bit you omitted. Victor, I can't say why the orange sticker conflicts with the tech specs saying 12-24V AC OR DC is supported. I did check the Dahua DH-DB6I specs and it says the same thing. Power Supply : 12 VDC to 24 VDC or 16 VAC to 24 VAC, 0.8 A USB... -
Review-Dahua/EmpireTech new doorbell cam Db6l 5mp
I was able to change the doorbell snapshot resolution using the API. Home Assistant snapshot service now capturing 2K doorbell images as will any app using the Dahua snapshot.cgi API. @hawkeye217 - you wanted to know if this was possible, so here's how to change snapshot resolution from... -
Review-Dahua/EmpireTech new doorbell cam Db6l 5mp
Hey Tinman, thanks for the confirmations! Well, this is interesting - I too found that a snapshot created in SmartHome (DMSS equivalent) app that is emailed is also 2560x1920 res. But when using the API call - <ip_addr>/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi - the image is 720x576 no matter what resolution... -
Review-Dahua/EmpireTech new doorbell cam Db6l 5mp
Can anyone that has the Dahua DH-DB6I confirm if the snapshot resolution is the full 2K (2560x1920) please? On the AD410 snapshots are oddly created at 720x576 and I was wondering if the Dahua firmware was configured the same. Also, could you try using SmartPSS to see if it works to change... -
Review-Dahua/EmpireTech new doorbell cam Db6l 5mp
Ok, thanks for clarifying how the sharpness was changed. I don't know yet if using SmartPSS is as "generous" in making additional changes as the NVR, just that in the past, I've had to factory reset to get the video back to normal on occasions. I always knew there were some mysterious... -
Review-Dahua/EmpireTech new doorbell cam Db6l 5mp
Tinman, What API call (or software) did you use to set the sharpness to 0, and was it for day and night, or night only ? If using the API, can you confirm if this command is all that's needed: <ip_addr>/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoInSharpness[0][1].Sharpness=0 I've... -
A New Doorbell
Good to know about the ease of return. Regarding the Amcrest logo in the stream - I've posted a solution to that in this forum. It's easy to remove via the API. -
A New Doorbell
You have 30 days return or exchange with B&H. Unlike Amazon, you may have to pay return shipping. Did you get the 2 or 3 year Allstate extended warranty? Interesting the default is H.265. Yeah, very limited browser support for it, but my old Dahua NVR supports it visually just fine. On... -
A New Doorbell
Ah - perhaps that explains it. Sure wouldn't have thought the expert reviewers here would have confused this important distinction though. BTW - My very recent experience with Amcrest warranty support was vastly different than yours. My 6 month old AD410 lost focus somehow and after a... -
A New Doorbell
That is very good news! I was astounded when I heard the equivalent Lorex 2K doorbell was reported to not support the API over port 80, And then later, it was reported the Dahua DB-6I didn't support the API either. I don't know how the information wires got crossed on the Dahua. -
Amcrest SmartHome Android app MISSING from Google Play Store!
@CarlosBarletta - were you not able to find out anything yet about why the app was removed? I did see that you logged into the forum yesterday. BTW - I also submitted a support ticket early yesterday but haven't heard back from them either. Needless to say, this is a very serious issue -... -
New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
The Amcrest View Pro Windows app (and its Dahua DMSS SmartPSS equivalent) enable you to configure numerous additional video settings on the AD410 that the SmartHome app can't. It also allows you to enable WDR and specify a range from 0 to 100. However, the range has been neutered by Amcrest... -
New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
yes, it's possible... for the AD410/AD110. Are you asking for academic reasons since your Lorex apparently doesn't support the CGI API? http://<ip_addr>/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoWidget[0].PictureTitle.PreviewBlend=false... -
New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
NOTICE: If you are an Android user, before you buy the AD410 make sure the Amcrest SmartHome app is available on Google Play Store. It is mysteriously absent today, and without it, you can't set the AD410 up. :banghead: You might also check with @CarlosBarletta in the Amcrest IPCT vendor forum... -
Amcrest SmartHome Android app MISSING from Google Play Store!
@CarlosBarletta - Please provide an explanation why this app was removed from Google Play Store and ETA for restoration. Of course, anyone purchasing a SmartHome device (ASH camera or AD doorbell) must have this app for setup and is dead in the water without it. Apparently a user on the...
