HDCVI 720P 8CH - Requested Fixes and Enhancements

[heycraig]

Amcrest,

Please consider addressing the following fixes and enhancements in an upcoming firmware update...

Fixes:
-Fix snapshot mode from switching back to "Timing" when set to "Trigger" (seems to be an issue in both web and logged in locally to DVR).

-In the Web interface, under Event for "Detect" options, make the "Record Channel", "Tour" and "Snapshot" selections by channel follow the channel number selected in the drop down above. Currently It stays at channel 1 no matter what channel you are working on.

-In the web interface, the "Alarm" screen does not display anything even when options are selected on the left under "Alarm Type" and "Operation".

Enhancements:
-Allow user to disable email alerts for "Motion Detect" and "Motion Detect Clear" when email snapshot attachment is enabled.

-Add the "Sync" playback option to the web and PC versions of the interface, like is available when logged in locally to the DVR.

-Allow for more complex passwords.

Thank you.

Well my DVR gave up the ghost after just over 2 years of use. Never was truly satisfied with this DVR. Paid $120 for a Dahua HDCVI HCVR, and put the old hard drive in it. The Amcrest units are all based on Dahua engineering anyway, so decided to go to the source. The Dahua unit seems to be more feature-packed for about the same price. ONVIF, Face Detection, IVS are all included on this unit that cost me as much as a same-model replacement unit of my old Amcrest HDCVI DVR.
