Tool to Resolve S/N to an IP:port Address

I run Amcrest Surveillance Pro on my MacBook Pro but it does NOT provide the same functionality as the WinDoze version. I also run SP under Windows using Parallels for Mac. When I run the Windows version, if you go to the device config area and select a camera, there is an option to connect directly...

IP Cameras, Smart Plans, IVS, Fails to Work

I have several IP cameras (IP8M-T2599EW) that have been configured for email alerts. I used the Video Detection option but it triggers way to often at night dues to moths being drawn to the IR emitter. So I set up a Smart Plan and the IVS option to use Tripwires to trigger events. This works randoml...

Re: Amcrest Surveillance Pro 2 Beta V2.003.00AC001.0.R.20200321 (Mac Only)

I was able to install on my MacBook Pro (M1 Pro) running Sonoma 14.5. Download and try to install. It will fail because it is blocked by Apple as being an unknown developer. Then go to Systems Settings, Privacy & Security and scroll down. You should see an option to run the app anyway. Use that ...

Re: ASP Not Connecting Using P2P

To clarify... What do you mean by create a new admin level user? On the WinDoze machine? Or on the individual cameras?

ASP Not Connecting Using P2P

Strange behavior... Running the "latest" version of ASP on a current PC using Windows 11 Pro. I also run ASP via emulation on my MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro version connects just fine to remote cameras using P2P connectivity, but the PC runnng the same OS and ASP versions does NOT connect...

IVS Intelligent Video System Works?

Has anyone been able to get IVS working? I’ve tried setting it up using the Web IE and SP and neither seems to be able to set up a tripwire or Intrusion area. When I try drawing a tripwire i get a green line what I can draw with, but every click makes a continuous line that I can’t get out of. And t...

Re: Your apps suck

And “Supports up to Big Sur 11.2 with M1 chip” doesn’t mean actually works. I don't consider a software package that might launch, but doesn’t provide full functionality, and is very un-Mac like to support the Mac. When I reached out to their so called support team they said use the webUI to configu...

Re: Your apps suck

As I’ve said on other posts, if they wont support their software maybe they should simply publish their camera APIs and put their software in the public domain. From the current web site… Compatibility: Requires Mac OS X, version 11.0, or later. Supports up to Big Sur 11.2 with M1 chip. Last softwar...
