    Amcrest ASH22 - Web Interface?

    Yes, "ASH" (Amcrest SmartHome) devices need to be initially configured with the SH app as they lack a web UI. There is also an ASH22 specific Blue Iris guide here: https://support.amcrest.com/hc/en-us/articles/360056342951-How-To-Setup-an-Amcrest-Smart-Home-Bullet-Camera-In-Blue-Iris-ASH22-W-

    Amcrest AD110 - Can I do better than this?

    @wondering - We’ve been using the AD110 for a year now, and it’s been working quite well for our basic needs. That is, notifying us when packages are delivered and to be able to answer the door remotely. The 1080p video quality is fine for this, night or day, and motion alerts via the PIR...

    Univivi IR Illuminator 6 Leds

    Thanks Mikey! All I was able to find before was the photo*resister* type, but Adafruit lists a photo*transistor* type that looks like the original photocell. I'll give it a shot... https://www.adafruit.com/product/2831

    Univivi IR Illuminator 6 Leds

    I've had one of these installed for 2 years and it no longer turns on at night. My troubleshooting has found that the LED's will come on just fine if the photocell is removed from the circuit. The tiny photocell is an unusual design and I've not found any matching images via Google. There...

    NVR5216-16P-4KS2E Latest new firmwre NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.001.0000006.0.R.210208

    Thanks Andy! The 200813 firmware referenced by your dropbox download link has been deleted. Is there another location where I can find it? I did find DH_NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.001.0000003.2.R.201010 on the Dahua firmware site. Would that work as an interim update from 20190809 on V1...

    NVR5216-16P-4KS2E Latest new firmwre NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.001.0000006.0.R.210208

    I have the NVR5208-4KS2 (V1.0) running nicely with V4.000.0000000.1 20190809 firmware. So although it's running a V4 firmware, it is a late 2019 build, not V4/2020+. Should I first try to update to a later V4 firmware known to work on V1 hardware? If so, any recommendations on which one?

    Looking for a video doorbell that complies with this list:

    @Froglens - I think you are seeing the RTSP wizard in the Eufy Security app for supporting eufyCAMs only, as described here. It would be very big news indeed if any of the Eufy doorbell models received an RTSP support update.

    Looking for a video doorbell that complies with this list:

    The AD110 comes with a tiny "chime kit" that will connect to existing digital or mechanical chimes. What exactly this kit does, I'm not sure, but it will delay triggering the chime for a few seconds. I assume this allows the doorbell to have uninterrupted power since it shares the transformer...

    Amcrest SmartHome Video Doorbell Camera AD110

    This really doesn't make any sense to me why in-line authentication would fail now, when working fine before. This is the official method for passing CGI command credentials to any Amcrest or Dahua device. Does the getConfig command fail the same way? [0].Mode=ForceOn']...

    Amcrest SmartHome Video Doorbell Camera AD110

    Hi @DebrodeD No, sorry - I don't have a good idea of what's causing auth to fail all of a sudden. I assume you are able to login OK when entering admin and password separately when prompted. I'm not familiar with WebCoRE but does it return any error code or log that might provide clues why...

    Amcrest SmartHome Video Doorbell Camera AD110

    It never crossed my mind that they might remove the RTSP capability - but I've seen nothing confirmed other than what's listed in the specs. It's very peculiar that there is no news release announcement of any kind found online.

    New Firmware for IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000013.0.R.191202.zip

    My understanding is that no browsers other than Safari support H265/HEVC streaming natively (without special hardware support) . It's a cost/licensing/multiple patent pools thing holding back wider support. For a compatibility reference, see Can I use... Support tables for HTML5, CSS3, etc...

    Amcrest SmartHome Video Doorbell Camera AD110

    Lately I've been sifting through AD110 event logs trying to get a better handle on how motion detection is configured in the AD110 and SmartHome. Like you, and practically everyone else, false alarms are a significant issue. Software such as BI, Home Assistant, and an NVR subscribe to the...

    Amcrest SmartHome Video Doorbell Camera AD110

    Just curious - are you referring to false alarms specifically from the SmartHome app push notifications or just Blue Iris MD alerts? (or both!) EDIT: reread your post - Oh, not from SmartHome. got it.

    Amcrest SmartHome Video Doorbell Camera AD110

    As far as I know, Amcrest has not provided support for Google Assistant. They apparently do support Alexa. I double-checked both the Google Home app and Nest app and found nothing listed for any Amcrest device. Most home automation hubs support Google Assistant for devices connected to...

    doorbell ad110 / no live view

    The AD110 device credentials are not the same as the SmartHome app cloud login. The userid is admin and the p/w is defined during the initial device setup phase. The SH app doesn't provide a way to view or change it. The problem with live view freezing at 99% usually indicates that a CGI...

    latest Version of DAHUA HTTP API FOR IPC Documentation ??

    Thanks for posting. This API guide was recently provided by Amcrest for public access here: Amcrest HTTP API SDK . Amcrest also stipulates that this guide is NOT applicable for Zencam or Amcrest Smart Home products. We know that for the SmartHome AD110 doorbell, Amcrest chose to roll their...

    AD110 Amcrest Doorbell - Focus Distance Issue

    oh wow, that last image is terrible and definitely proves the device is defective. We are having a beautiful fall in Oklahoma. Just now getting past peak and leaves dropping fast. Fortunately, not a single false alert from the falling leaves!

    AD110 Amcrest Doorbell - Focus Distance Issue

    I've never been bothered by the fixed focus on the AD110. Closeup clarity was more important to me for a doorbell front porch cam. I had never attempted to qualitatively measure focus at further distances but I did want to try a comparison to your images to see if you might have a...
