I'm kind of at a loss at where to go with this camera (ip5m-t1179ew-28mm). For some reason the camera will not recieve a DHCP address on my vlan 10 network (192.168.10.1-255). I know for a fact the vlan is working, can route where I need it to, and get DHCP because I have a set of 10 devices...

I have 3 IP8M-2496E cameras. They're all behaving differently even with same configuration. Is there a way to fully reset the camera? Apparently soft and hard reset doesn't do it. I "think" the irreversible change happened when I had an Amcrest NVR and it configured the camera. I've since...

Hi all, Just wondering if I purchase this Amcrest camera that is supposed to sit on a surface like a table, if I can use BlueIris to rotate the video feed 180 degrees while watching the live feed. I have a good area where I could mount this outside near my front door where it never gets wet. (...

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...

Hi everyone, I plan on buying the Amcrest doorbell, but I can't find any electronic chimes that would work since they all run on 8-12V AC here in Germany, while the doorbell runs on 16-24V AC or 12-24V DC. I wouldn't mind hardware modifications and some tinkering, but I'm out of Ideas at the...

Can anyone tell me the real difference between the Dahua HDW5831R-ZE and the Amcrest MT2544EW and the Lorex LNE8974? Other than IV features, is the Dahua better? Does the Dahua produce a better image? Why does the Lorex have so much more IR range? It is real range or are they padding the specs?

I have a question that no one has yet answered. I bought a AD110 video doorbell. It has a little box that is called a "chime kit". Being an engineer, I am curious as to what is in this little box. Can you answer that? ALSO, I have a rational reason for asking this question. I have 2...

I hope it's OK to discuss Amcrest here since their cameras are rebranded Dahua. I noticed on 12/18/19 Amcrest updated firmware for their home PTZ cameras such as IP4M-1051, IP2M-841 etc. No changelog available. The version stayed the same, the time stamp changed at the end of the filename. Also...

So I follow Dahua, Hikvision, Lorex, Amcrest and a bunch of other camera companies on Facebook. Amcrest posted on their official Facebook yesterday that you can sign up and test one of their cameras, so I signed up and got the below email. I'm almost positive this is legit, I will try it let...

Hi, I am looking for suggestions on a WIFI camera. I know WIFI is not recommended (I have read the wiki). The camera is to send an image to a server at a fairly low rate (1-5 times a minute) so 100% connectivity is not crucial. – Wifi connectivity – IP64 or better (waterproof for...

Hi All! First time attempting to setup a security camera system. I bought (2x) Amcrest POE cameras and a LaView NVR (below). Reading a bit more, I'm worried about setting up a system with different manufacturers. How much of a pain will it be to grow this system over time? Should I return one...

I have an Amcrest (Dahua Rebrand) model IP4M-1053EW PTZ. At night time I have a huge dark area, see pictures below. I believe the wall in front of my house is blocking the IR. If point the PTZ at the dark spot, zoom in I can see the area totally fine. I was thinking about getting the below IR...

I have been using this camera for about 1 month and have to say it is one of my best cameras. The 4k quality is very nice. The wide angle lens is very nice. I don't have exact numbers, but pretty much any car that pulls into my driveway and I easily read there licence plate. What I like most...

Hello, I'm hoping for assistance. I recently installed the Amcrest IP2M-853EW for a friend. The specs say the camera allows 2-way audio and there are audio in, audio out, and ground cables on the cam, which my friend wants to utilize. Only problem is they are open wires with rca or other head on...

Hi everyone, For a couple of years now I have been running Blue Iris on my premises to record streams from a number of different cameras. During this time I have slowly added a camera here or there to meet my needs. I recently decided to add another camera to my system and purchased a new...

I have an Amcrest IP4M-1053E PTZ camera 12x zoom. I think from the specs it is a clone of Dahua SD49412T-HN. It comes with firmware:Amcrest_SD-Mao-Rhea_Eng_N_Stream3_AMCREST_V2.422.AC02.0.R.20180706.bin I tried using the web interface to upgrade to Dahua firmware for the 49412. Confusing as it...

I happen to have an Amcrest camera - the IP3M-941 which is essentially the same as IP2M-841. Upon every boot it moves to the far extreme point, gets stuck there, makes loud noise, then goes to the default point (I suppose it calibrates the movement), then it moves back to my intended position...

Hi, I have Amcrest IP2M-841W's ... I'm using Safari on a 2017 iMac 27" and this is what I see: I have followed the insructions and installed the Pulgin but 1. I can't see that its installed into the broswer, and 2. Installing it has made no difference at all. Amcrest Customer Service only...

Hi, I received an Amcrest IP3M-941W camera as a gift. I can’t seem to find any documentation on what ports I would need to forward in my router to access this when not connected to my home WiFi. I set the camera up to use port 8580, and I can connect to it fine when on the same WiFi network...

Hi everyone, I bought a Lorex package from Costco,. They are POE cameras. During BF I bought another brand, Amcrest, POE and supports ONVIF. After hooking up the Amcrest to my Lorex NVR, I see on my Lorex screen that the Amcrest IP is 0.0.0.0, Lorex screen says its using ONVIF protocol. Any...

Hello All, This is my first post here, but you guys look like a very knowledgeable and helpful community. I am really hoping you can help me out. I recently began setup on a home camera network consisting of a server running Blue Iris, and 2 Amcrest IP2M-841 IP cameras, with intentions on...

Recently installed an Amcrest IP8M-2496EB POE camera and it seems to work great except for the recording functionality. At first I thought it might be a problem with the SD card, which was bought at the same time as the camera, so I tried another today. Here's what it's doing... Accessing the...

I'm looking to get the Amcrest 1080P Outdoor PTZ POE IP Camera Pan Tilt Zoom (Model IP2M-853EW) and connect it to my Lorex POE DVR. Does anyone know if doing this would work? What should I be on the lookout for? The camera appears to have POE and audio video cameras. My exissting cameras...

So, I'm trying to figure out some cameras for the inside of a new location. We've figured out that we need about 23 inside and 9 outside. Previously, we've been using 720p cameras, which is okay, but we've decided that we really want to have more detail than that. Now, I already have 9 960p...

I will be buying a Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P NVR and I was thinking 4 Amcrest IP2M-852EB cameras. I was wondering if anyone has experience getting Amcrest cameras working on Hikvision NVR?

I've installed a couple systems now and just discovered this site. The wealth of information here is amazing but I'm having a little trouble searching the site often getting a "no results found" response. So if someone could point me towards the right threads that'd be great. Looking for the...

Hello! I have a few different Amcrest IP cameras installed in various locations. They are all hardwired and upload directly to an Amazon EC2 FTP instance. However, I'm missing the first 1-2 seconds of some of the captured videos. When I spoke with Amcrest they advised me that their cameras...

Hello, I replace ATT wireless router with TWC wireless router. How do I reconnect my wireless cameras without physically taking it down from its location? Thanks.
