    Doorbell camera with easiest user interface for the elderly?

    Thank you @fenderman I believe you are correct for simplicity can't beat the prepackaged ones it seems. Hopefully Wyze comes out with a decent doorbell camera down the road.

    Doorbell camera with easiest user interface for the elderly?

    Thank you for the suggestion and feedback. I'm not against cloud cameras and I don't think they care as long as it works. You can find reviews all day about image quality and comparisons but not people's critiques of how easy it is for non tech people to use. Setup I don't care about as I would...

    Doorbell camera with easiest user interface for the elderly?

    Hi, I have a elderly relative which wants a doorbell camera and wanted a ring camera but I said no let me find something better. I'm leaning towards the Eufy camera or LaView Doorbell camera. Anyone setup a doorbell camera for their elderly relatives who are not technologically inclined? They...

    New Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW-36MM graphical glitches and freezing runs hot?

    Yes I've tried multiple ethernet cables and even the one I used for another amcrest camera that's been mounted. I'm starting to wonder if it's partially chrome as the glitches would show in chrome but not in the live view.

    New Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW-36MM graphical glitches and freezing runs hot?

    I'm only noticing these in Chrome it seems. Could it simply be a bug? I watched the Amcrest desktop application and mobile view concurrently and no random colors. Not sure about the switch from main to substream though.

    New Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW-36MM graphical glitches and freezing runs hot?

    Screenshot of the auto switching "it has autoswitched to substream for better video playing experience"? Never had this on another Dahua, Hikvision or Amcrest Camera when viewing in browser? Reset it again all settings and in night mode with IR I am getting pink in certain areas randomly in...

    New Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW-36MM graphical glitches and freezing runs hot?

    The glitchy video is just random and was when it was inside after being taken down but I noticed something else which was when logging in directly through a web browser it kept kicking me down to the sub stream which was odd when none of my other amcrest cameras on the same switch had this...

    New Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW-36MM graphical glitches and freezing runs hot?

    Contacted amcrest phone support and they kept stating to check my ethernet cable. I've tried two switches several monoprice cables and even using a normal Cat6 with a ac adapter no difference. Anyone have a idea as Amcrest support doesn't know. Also brought up that there's no firmware and the...

    Thank you @mat200 for getting me started! @Mike could you please move this to the Amcrest subforum. Hopefully, @James.S can provide some feedback on if this is a potential software or hardware issue and the latest firmware for this camera. I have several other Amcrest products not including this...

    New Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW-36MM graphical glitches and freezing runs hot?

    Hi everyone, I saw this drop to 59.99 on Amazon and figured I would try it as I am more interested in the audio than video quality to see when the mailperson comes or what happens with deliveries like when a loud thump is heard. When setting it up I noticed it was running warm to the touch vs my...

    Mounting PTZ camera on a tree 8ft from home. In the air or conduit? Surge precautions?

    Hi I wanted to install a PTZ camera on a tree 8ft from my home and had a question about what is considered a safer way to do it to avoid electrical surges etc damaging my internal network. My plan was run a flexible non conductive Conduit underground from the basement a few inches underground to...

    Can indoor dome cameras be adapted for outdoor use?

    Just a general question but I assume besides a lack of desiccant packets would it be the seals around the camera that would prevent indoor rated cameras for outdoor use? Is it possible to add a gasket to a camera if it lacks one? What else would prevent someone from using a indoor rated...

    How are Visualint Starlight Cameras?

    My budget is about 300-400 per camera I would need 4 for the hallways as tenants have restraining orders against one another due to previous threats towards one another. The hallways are L shaped I saw the visualint Mini domes due to the wide angle and compact size. I don't need the best image...

    How are Visualint Starlight Cameras?

    I saw some with make an offer on ebay and thought it might be cheaper. I was looking for something a bit more reliable for use in a property where a chance of vandalism is possible or tenant issues that need to reliably record in low light conditions of they remove the bulbs in the hallways again.

    New AMCREST 4K 30FPS MODEL: IP8M-2597EB-28MM? 1/1.8 sensor $125

    I was browsing Amazon and found this new camera with options for 2.8/4/6mm lense. The sensor is what got my attention. This replaces the cheaper 4K camera they offered in terms of price on the Amazon lighting deal. No microsd card slot is the only gripe and some people claim only 25fps but the...
