Amcrest Forum

Pretty much gave up on this doorbell, but I see a new firmware version is out. Has anyone been able to download the bin file outside of the app? I'd like to try to revive this pos if I can... I cannot find it online, and I would need a working doorbell to try using wireshark to see where its downloa...

I've got the device reading img files off the sd-card, I tried loading the Dahua Doorbell firmware, didn't work, but at least reads the files. If anyone can export their BIN or has one, let me know! It hard because this is a smart device, and I think all upgrades are done with mobile app from the cl...

also it looks like it might look for the file on the SD card because it tries going there first, and then tries the Hisilicon ENT net controller. I'm just not sure how it wants the file on the sd card like path/format, so going to try TFTP server because I used to have to flash controller boards for...

Hi Revo2Maxx, thanks for the PM, sorry I guess I haven't posted enough to send a PM. OK Now, LOOKING FOR HELP! I have successfully created a USB to UART cable, and can read the uBoot startup from the device. I'm trying to setup my own TFTP server to reflash the device, but I do not have any firmware...

Yeah but the problem is most people don't read forums unless they need help. I had no idea using an Amcrest config utility would brick my doorbell. If anyone has a solution like a firmware file I can flash, it would be much appreciated.

Sorry I know you were trying to help. It's not a voltage drop, as my transformer is about 6 ft below the front door in the basement. Soldiering the connection did fix the issue for 3 days, so it was definitely a contact issue to the MB. Unfortunately this POS now has another problem. I wasn't satisf...

Really? The camera came today, it would have been mounted on a flat surface, and you're assuming I pushed in into the mount so hard I pushed the copper contact into the circuit board because the back flexes? Just so you know, I didn't even attach it to the mount yet on the wall, it was hanging there...

Hi Revo2Maxx, Yeah this is just a complete hardware failure on Amcrest...Disappointing cause all my other cameras are Amcrest which have been great and I already gave my Ring Pro to my neighbor :( So being an engineer, I just had to figure what was going on. I used a volt meter, at the transformer, ...

@KarlHungus53 Did you get anywhere? I have the exact same doorbell as in your picture, and nothing, everything seems dead. My Ring Pro was working fine...
