    Viofo Bluetooth Remote Control working unreliably

    I have just installed a Viofo VS1 dashcam together with the wireless Bluetooth remote control button. Bluetooth pairing of both devices worked perfectly, but the connection has funny problems. When I start the car, the button may work ... or not. I do a new pairing and it works on the first...

    PTZ no longer working for my IP2M-841-V3 from Onvier App after DST change / Firmware bug?

    I have 3 Amcrest IP2M-841-V3, that I'm also using with the Onvier App. After the recent DST change, that changed the time in Germany from GMT+1 to GMT+2, the PTZ control from within the App did no longer work. The logs showed theses errors: "Wsse authorized time check failed." but as the time...

    IR Light turns on every 5 min at night (Amcrest IP2M-841-V3)

    I got an Amcrest IP2M-841-V3 in the garage, that at night turns on the IR light every couple of minutes. The time varies between 4 and 10 minutes about. I know this because this triggers another camera (Blink mini) to start recording a video. So every night I end up having lots of clips from...

    App recommendation

    I got 3 Amcrest IP2M-841-V3, that I operate only within my private network (no internet access). With my Android phone I use the Onvier App to monitor the cams and I am very satisfied with it. Unfortunately the App is not available for iOS. Can anyone recommend an equivalent free...

    Is there a way to place the file favicon.ico in the main directory of my Amcrest cam IP2M-841-V3 (ftp or such?), so that the image would show up in the browser tabs and next to the favorites?

    Amcrest IP2M-841-V3 AP Roaming

    Although there is a close repeater (mesh network) my IP2M-841-V3 sometimes prefers to connect directly to the router and the connection then is worse as it would be with the repeater. I can't see that the cam supports Access Point Roaming. Question to Amcrest Support: Is there any chance that...

    IP2M-841-V3, modify for external aerial

    My IP2M-841-V3 is located in the garage and the wifi-connection is critical. Im considering to modify the cam with (a connector for) an external aerial to improve the connectivity. Before I do my surgery I wanted to ask if anybody has done that already and may share some tips and experience?

    Why are IR-Leds switched with Relay?

    I had various cams now (Hootoo, Amcest, Blink). Every time the IR-Leds are activated on any of them I hear a "click", indicating that the leds are switched by means of a relay. Why is that and why don't they switch silently with a semiconductor?

    Firmware updates but no change logs

    All the firmware updates on this page (Firmware Upgrade | Amcrest Technologies ) come without any change log. What is the point in offering something without any description? Is this :secret:? How should I decide to take it or not? :confused: This is like selling mysterious pills without any...

    Reboot Shortcut?

    My IP2M-841B-V3 occasionally connects directly to the distant router instead to the near repeater. This can be fixed by a cam reboot, but as the signal is very poor now, it is a torture to go thruogh the menus in order to trigger the reboot. Is there some shortcut url containing ip, userid and...

    IP2M-841B-V3: Power Consumption and Power Supply Performance

    Fwiw, I did some measuring on my IP2M-841B-V3 cams and I want to share the results with you. First I checked the power supply (rated 5V/2A) that came with the cam and measured voltage while changing the load (or current): 4,8 V at 1,0 A 4,6 V at 1,5 A 4,0 V at 1,8 A For comparison, I also...

    IP2M-841B-V3: tilt is stiff and jerky

    With 2 out of my 3 new IP2M-841B-V3 the tilt function goes stiff and jerky. The angle it does is between 45 and 60 degrees only. It seems to be a mechanical problem. Is there something that I can do? Returning them from Germany to the US is probably not an option. I'm an engineer experienced...
