Re: URL command to change encoding to H264?
should be the same command for both, unless it needs a slight variation, like H.264H You can review the current video settings for all streams, not just the main - via: .../cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&Encode Do you have your cameras/doorbell connected to an Amcrest/Dahua NVR? If s...

Re: IP8M-2493EW-V2 snapshot image resolution different using webui vs http
Hi Fred, Your question is a lot clearer to me now. This is not at all the same issue reported with the AD410. I rarely log into the webui of the camera for normal viewing and had never noticed the snapshot from live view it creates is a PNG file. Huh, interesting. The Snapshot.cgi API command can on...

Re: IP8M-2493EW-V2 snapshot image resolution different using webui vs http
This is the same issue as to the default AD410 doorbell snapshot resolution being much lower than expected. You may want to review this thread: https://amcrest.com/forum/ip-cameras-f18/ad410-snapshot-quality-low-t15349.html#p37999 I don't have this camera, but first confirm how the snapshot " V...

Re: AD410 Doorbell remain connected to NVR
Like you, I've only configured the router to map a static IP to the AD410's MAC address. Never had any issue with connectivity to my Dahua NVR. Revo's advice to also force a static IP on the device itself should not be necessary, but it's worth trying especially if you have a Mesh network. We've see...

Re: Questionable NTP Configuration
pool.ntp.org is absolutely appropriate for USA and elsewhere. That's not a single server but a pool of MANY worldwide dynamically-chosen servers , of which this NTP Brazil server belongs. (source: https://www.pool.ntp.org/scores/200.160.0.8 ) I don't know how many SmartHome devices are out there wit...

Re: Questionable NTP Configuration
Revo, I wasn't expecting an explanation for why this illogical config exists. I can't believe there is any justification for hardcoding a single NTP server in Brazil. It has to be an oversight. Just ping it. Then ping pool.ntp.org or clock.isc.org to compare. The latter NTP pool is what Dahua camera...

Questionable NTP Configuration
The hard-coded NTP Time server is 200.160.0.8 in both the AD110 & AD410 configuration (and probably other Amcrest cameras as well). This is one of the NTP servers in the international standard pool.ntp.org and is located in Brazil ! This is not ideal in terms of latency - unless you live in S.Am...

Re: AD110 Doorbell Events to Home Assistant
@warning said "I feel like a beta tester ". That's because he was indeed one - along with anyone else downloading the new firmware for their doorbells without a changelog or reviewing the forum for new issues, as well as what was fixed or improved. Amcrest obviously does limited testing an...
