A New Doorbell
I had asked that same question 3 weeks ago and received the following response from Looney2ns... "Nope". https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/review-dahua-empiretech-new-doorbell-cam-db6l-5mp.60656/page-2#post-631677 That's a show stopper for me as support for the Dahua CGI API is essential for... -
Reboot Shortcut?
From the Amcrest HTTP API Guide... 4.6.24 Reboot Syntax http://<server>/cgi-bin/magicBox.cgi?action=reboot[&delay=<paramValue>] Description: Reboot the device Example: http://192.168.x.xxx/cgi-bin/magicBox.cgi?action=reboot Success Return: OK The example doesn't show including... -
Amcrest AD410 Lost Focus
@CarlosBarletta - Do you have any advice for troubleshooting why a 6 month old AD410 doorbell suddenly goes out of focus? It wasn't gradual or due to any configuration changes. From my 24x7 NVR recording I watched it go from a good in focus stream instantly to an out of focus stream at the same... -
Review-Dahua/EmpireTech new doorbell cam Db6l 5mp
The Amcrest models do come with a chime kit and it is essential for connecting to an existing chime. That is how mine is hooked up and it works perfectly - using the existing 52year old 24vac transformer, wiring and mechanical ding-donger. Surely all these other Dahua variants also come with... -
A New Doorbell
They are all 2K cameras (2560x1920p), totaling just over 4.9million pixels. Only Amcrest's math-challenged Ad dept lists the AD410 incorrectly as "4M" but gets the actual resolution correct. The others are properly listed as a 5Megapixel. This is why I stated the specs are the same... -
A New Doorbell
Oh, it absolutely does have an operational web server on port 80 that responds to most CGI commands, as did the older AD110. But just like all the others, it does NOT have a Web UI. -
A New Doorbell
Andy's unbranded "trial" version of the Dahua 2K doorbell appears to be a clone of the Dahua/IMOU 2K doorbell. The branded Dahua DH-DB61 appears as a case clone to the Lorex 2K except in color. The Amcrest AD410 is a mix of both square and round features in black. The best I can tell, the... -

Hey Tony - same here - including first born daughter in 1980 soon teething on all the Apple II learning apps like Reader Rabbit and StickyBear. Taught her to spell her full name at a very early age - except she recited "space bar" as her middle name since that is how it was typed! If you... -
New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
sorry to hear that. If you are unable to return it and still have suspicions it is moisture-related - have you considered the Uncle Ben's approach to a bag of dry rice? It often works for phone-in-toilet syndrome. -

Hi Dude, I assume you weren't serious given who it was addressed to. Anyway, I was not familiar with the game image you posted, but found that it lives on today as Subspace Continuum! Certainly entitled to your own color opinions, but T-Mobile is sorry you feel that way. Kinda cool... -
How I got the mailman to hate me 25 years ago....
I did! It often had 1,000 pages of not just computers/parts to sell, but editorial reviews. Ordered my first Gateway 2000 PC for $3K from it. My first computer in 1988 was a 1 year old used Apple II (48K RAM) with 2 floppy drives, b/w monitor and a printer for $1,900. Cost me $100 to add... -
New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
Amcrest SmartHome devices are sensitive to configurations made outside of the SmartHome app. Most config changes work fine but some, particularly video/encoding changes, are known to cause the live video to either freeze or look bad. A factory reset of the AD410 should fix the problem if the... -
Review-Dahua/EmpireTech new doorbell cam Db6l 5mp
I was hoping that would not be the case, but thanks for confirming. ONVIF support in Home Assistant can not detect button press event and motion detection is quite limited. -
Review-Dahua/EmpireTech new doorbell cam Db6l 5mp
Does this Dahua doorbell accept Dahua HTTP CGI commands over port 80 and expose events? Apparently the Dahua subsidiary Lorex 2K doorbell doesn't. -
A New Doorbell
No, they are not different hardware. The Dahua, AD410 and Lorex have the exact same resolution - 2K UHD (2560x1920) and all other h/w specs are also identical. This equates to 4,915,200 pixels. It's true that Amcrest advertises this as a 4-Megapixel camera, but that is an illogical... -

New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
yes, all the Amcrest cameras and doorbells have a web server on port 80 to support the API - but with the SmartHome devices, there is no web UI. Sorry, I should have warned you about using SmartPSS to adjust video settings. They do work but for some reason the app sends additional settings... -
New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
The CGI/API commands I posted earlier are the same for Dahua cameras as Amcrest, so I would think they should be accepted on the Lorex. It's true that Amcrest modifies the Dahua firmware to some extent - particularly to adapt it to their SmartHome app. Things like push notification events... -
New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review
Per the API guide, this should work... <ip_addr>/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoWidget[0].PictureTitle.EncodeBlend=false Edit: you may also need this command as well... <ip_addr>/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoWidget[0].PictureTitle.PreviewBlend=false -
Amcrest AD110 - Can I do better than this?
I believe one advantage of purchasing the Amcrest doorbell cam vs the Dahua/Lorex it is based on is that the Chinese-developed firmware has been modified by Houston-based Amcrest to use Amazon AWS-hosted servers in the US. Are you able to provide any evidence that there are still connections... -

@Jayordon - well, after some additional personal testing of H.265 browser support using WebRTC with Home Assistant video streaming - it's a no go with Chrome, Firefox, and latest version of Edge (v64).

IPC-T5442T-ZE IPC-T5442TM-AS IPC-T5842T-ZE SMD 3.0 Smart IR Latest New Firmware From EmpireTech
It's a browser limitation. Google search first hit says: "Of the desktop browsers only Microsoft Edge (version 16 and later) and Safari (version 11 and later) support H. 265. Of mobile browsers — Safari and Chrome for iOS (version 11.0 and later). " (It was news to me that Edge supports H265...- GaryOkie

Dahua vs hikvision doorbell
Regarding integrating the Dahua VTO with home assistant - refer to this HA dahuavto2mqtt addon > Dahua VTO to MQTT Broker I don't have this Dahua device, but I do have an Amcrest 2K doorbell (virtually the same as Dahua's 2K doorbell) which is integrated with HA using an amcrest2mqtt addon to... -

Amcrest AD110 - Can I do better than this?
Hi @chrysopelea - I have very recently upgraded to the AD410 but I'll try to answer your questions about the AD110. The weekly reboot was removed in the lastest update. The doorbell resetting the night vision to smartlight/auto after a reboot is a bug. It can be changed with the API... -
Amcrest ASH22 - Web Interface?
The web UI in a SmartHome device is intentionally removed/disabled. However, there is a web server in the device that responds to the Amcrest/Dahua http CGI API for the most part. I don't think you can configure WiFi settings via this API, but I haven't attempted it. The only... -
Amcrest ASH22 - Web Interface?
not the same link, but very close to the same info. There were in fact a few instructions specific to ASH22.
