Amcrest Forum

It is now March of 2023 and I still have several IP cameras making DNS queries for dh.amcrestsecurity.com . I have updated all the devices to the latest firmware that is available for each from https://amcrest.com/firmware . February my firewall logs contained 500,000+ errors related to dh.amcrestse...

Let me guess, the camera you are getting this message from is using an ethernet connection instead of Wifi. A few minutes ago it occured to me - Why am I getting this from three cameras but not the fourth one? "What makes the fourth camera different?" - Then it dawned on me, It's using WiF...

What does LANIntoNetwork mean as a notification? I am having very odd and unknown events being pushed to the Android version of Amcrest Smart Home Ver 3.12.2 from three ASH21-W's. All three cameras have the same Firmware version - V2.680.0000000.0.R Build 2022-05-20 It appears to be completely rando...

'Check Version' button is just window dressing. Awesome...I'll ignore it.

Thank you.

I have three IP2M-841 cameras: 2x Ver 2 running V2.420.AC00.18.R, Build Date: 2020-10-30 1x Ver 3 running V2.800.0000000.15.R, Build Date: 2021-07-16 All three cameras exhibit the same problem. I am guessing this affects other models as well. After logging into a camera I go to SETUP/SYSTEM/UPGRADE ...

Hello it's Nov 3rd and this is the fourth time I logged in today and was able to remain logged in for more than 90 seconds.
I do not know what the problem was but it lasted for several weeks, first week of October was the first occurrence for me.

Anyway all seems to be working again.

Hello I realize this is the new member introduction area, but there seems to be no area concerning problems with the forum website itself. I have run into this problem - My forum login expires every 90 seconds regardless of the device I am using. I login successfully. I start to browse the forum ind...

I have(had) this same camera. The camera would freeze roughly every 20 seconds, then the camera itself would crash and restart. (I presume that what was happening when the active status indicator light would go off then back on.) It did the same in multiple apps not just Zoom. I tried this camera on...

I have a pair of IP2M-841W V2's that are currently running firmware version - "V2.420.AC00.18.R, Build Date: 2020-10-30" Since the 'Check Version' button on the upgrade tab of the camera setup page doesn't work. (I'll leave that discussion for a different post.) I manually check for update...

Finally noticed something about the new FW for the 841's how they never point where you want them to after a reboot. Here is two simple, but rather explicit, rules to remember. 1 - After reboot the camera will ALWAYS return to the last position set using the manual PTZ controls. 2 - Moving the camer...
