Can anyone share how they are using the built-in PIR sensor? Is it just another ”trigger” available in the FW, an alternative to video-based motion detection? Can I use it to trigger recording or even as an occupancy sensor in Scrypted to trigger whatever I want in HomeKit?

Thanks, I think I’ll update now while it’s still fresh and before I get into the weeds of configuration. Since there is no WebGUI for the AD410, should I use the ConfigTool desktop app?

@GaryOkie Just realized that you’re differentiating between continuous SD recording and SDcard recording. Is event-based + continuous HD recording to the SDcard already a feature on the older firmwares? Does the new firmware simply add SD resolution as an option? Or does it add event-based +...

If I do want to take advantage of the continuous SD recording, any downsides to upgrading?

@GaryOkie Received my RMA units in several weeks ago. Just installed one. Manufactured 11-2022. Firmware is 1.000.0000000.7.R.210220. Did I read that there was an issue with this firmware and some suggest requesting an older version from Amcrest?

I didn’t get any RMA units yet. I have 5/22 and 6/22, both have issues.

I know this is probably somewhere in the thread, but how do we find the manufacturing date?

BTW, I'm also going to use this method to create a sunrise and sunset automation to trigger day and night modes. HomeKit makes that very easy. Just another alternative to BI and that windows script that others use. If anyone needs the exact code (like above), let me know...

SUCCESS!!! I am now able to turn the LEDs on and off from HomeKit on my iPhone via the HomeBridge HTTP Switch plugin. For posterity's sake, in case anyone needs, see this thread for how I figured everything out. Hint... the cameras use digest authentication...

Ok, the document didn't result in any progress... but I found this: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/api-to-turn-on-light-for-the-ipc-hdw3849h-as-pv.55622/ It's for AD cameras, but the commands for illuminator works!!! I'm unable to set the brightness level under manual mode... but oh well...

Ooooh look what I found... Dahua IPC HTTP API document

Thank you, super helpful yet again... Changing the LED from Off to Auto to Manual in the web server GUI yielded no changes to any parameters in VideoInOptions (InfraRed did not work) and no changes to FlashLight. Here is the getConfig. I haven't tried enabling it yet via setConfig and will try...

Ah very interesting. I’ll run a getConfig in that when I get home. Doing getConfig on VideoInOptions there seems to be three settings: No prefix, NightOptions, and NormalOptions. Based on what I’ve already set, I’m guessing no prefix is “Day,” NightOptions is “Night,” and NormalOptions is...

Thats a great start! I’ll probably start with a whole bunch of getConfigs before I start using setConfig so I understand what’s available. VideoInOptions sounds like it might lead to the LED parameter so I’ll try that first. Any other categories you know of? I have “Encode” and “VideoInOptions”…...

Just set up an Amcrest AD410 with scrypted and HomeKit and used this for configuration: https://github.com/koush/scrypted/wiki/Amcrest-Doorbell-Experience This got me thinking about using scripted URLs to enable and disable the white LEDs on my HDW5442TM-AS-LED full color. Thinking of doing...

Thank you! Just wanted to be sure no issues between Loryta and Dahua models. I know they are the essentially the same but just wanted to be sure!

Can this work for IPC-HDW5442TM-AS-LED Dahua model? Will it support smart illumination of white LED (human detection) without active deterrence?

I’m having this same exact issue on an IPC-T3241T-ZAS. I’ve seen random threads about this searching back a few years but no resolution. Can anyone help? I can live view from a browser, but cannot add to DMSS. @EMPIRETECANDY
