Re: Turret in IP8M-T2669 remains loose even after mounting ring is tightened.

It appears that, after mounting the camera on the ceiling, the housing does not exert enough force on the turret to keep it snug against the blocks in the mounting plate and so the camera does not hold its position. I suspect that this is due to the force being applied to the back of the camera by ...

Re: PTZ IP4M-10x3EW-AI cameras aren't really AI?

An update on this after a bit of debugging, it looks like not only is the camera not compatible with the NVR but trying to do anything via the NVR disables AI functionality on the camera even if you go direct to the camera's web interface. So if you factory reset the camera to get the AI back and go...

Re: PTZ IP4M-10x3EW-AI cameras aren't really AI?

However as I have said. if using the 5xxx format NVR that isn't the almost 1500 AI NVR that was built for the Thermal Camera setup it might be that the other 5xxx series NVR's will reject the cameras AI because while it will setup other lower class AI cameras that NVR (Lower 5xxx model) might not h...

Re: PTZ IP4M-10x3EW-AI cameras aren't really AI?

What AI NVR are you using it with? Is it a 4216 or a A2 41xx or a different Amcrest like the 5xxx series? It's one of the 5xxx series. The friend who has it has now opened a case with Amazon over it because several of the features advertised for the camera simply don't exist, face detection , aband...

Re: A warning about dimensions given in camera data sheets/manuals

I'd had a look at both the Dahua range and a bunch of universal mount boxes on Amazon and none of them fit this weirdo form factor, the closest I could find was a Lorex that looked promising but still wouldn't fit once I downloaded the PDFs to verify the layout. I need them for the same reason, to p...

Re: PTZ IP4M-10x3EW-AI cameras aren't really AI?

I suggest you read the user manual for that camera and set up the camera AI features using the camera Web UI as described in the manual. That's what he ended up doing (he doesn't need a manual, he's set up plenty of them in the past), but apart from the huge inconvenience of having to work around t...

Re: PTZ IP4M-10x3EW-AI cameras aren't really AI?

In this case it's Amcrest AI cameras connected to an Amcrest AI NVR... that doesn't recognise them as AI cameras. Or at least it recognises every other AI camera except the PTZ one.

Re: A warning about dimensions given in camera data sheets/manuals

Finally sorted out how to mount these, since Amcrest don't have any junction box that fits the IP8M-2879E I used a standard 122mm one and cut a silicone gasket to take it out to the 135mm size required by the camera:

PTZ IP4M-10x3EW-AI cameras aren't really AI?

I recently helped a friend set up an IP4M-1063EW-AI but when he wanted to set it up on his AI NVR alongside the existing AI cameras it wasn't available for AI setup. Every other AI camera was available but the 1063EW just came up as a standard non-AI camera. Looked up Amazon reviews to see if anyone...

Re: Remove Amcrest watermark

Finally got it sorted without having to mess around with powering the camera via a PoE injector, if you use the ability to proxy access to the camera via <nvr-address>:10080, 10081, etc, then, after bypassing Firefox's braindead blocking of access to those ports, you can change it directly on the ca...
