Amcrest Forum

Updated last night and of course didn't know about the night update issue. I think my unit is bricked. Hard reset 'appears' to work but I get no audio from the unit notifying of reset or after it is booted to say that the wifi is enabled to enroll the device. Am I hosed here? Anything else I can try...

Keep in mind, this diagram is only if you want two separate button zones like I have. This allows for two distinct chimes so I know which button is pushed. If you just cover one of the buttons in the diagram it'll make more sense and you can see how the circuit is completed.

Update here. I was finally able to get some time and work on the doorbell. I had a suspicion that they may have been wired incorrectly so I found a diagram with the correct wiring for this setup. When I checked to see if they were correct or not, I couldn't tell for sure so I pulled them all out and...

A little late to the party - I have a street light across from my porch and the camera just constantly toggles between day and night mode if you will. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue as our porch light would be on but we are in termite swarm season so it's a blackout for the house at night. I wi...

Not sure if this is directed KarlHungus or myself. The picture was theirs but I have the same wiring and hardware EXCEPT I have a second bell switch at the back door. My last comment about no ring on my internal chime still stands. I have been working on other projects (like getting all the other ca...

Thanks for the reply. I managed to get my 30VA transformer in yesterday. It fixed the drop out after multiple presses but I still get no chime at all. I am starting to question how my doorbell buttons are wired. We have a front and rear door button. When I use a diode, it works - full chime but it g...

By trade, I work in professional audio visual. We are always mindful of voltage drop especially when it comes to cameras and speakers. Wiring and distance look good here and metered out just fine so that shouldn't be an issue here. Just went and picked up a 30VA transformer and if I have time I will...

They should really make that part of the manual. The wording definitely doesn't specify it HAS to be 30Va, just that it would be sufficient. So that will solve the problem of repeated presses and the camera shutting off. Would this also solve the issue of the chime not ringing with no diode like the...

Chimekit is wired fine. It isnt that difficult. It was working fine for the first week, then all a sudden it just started going crazy with continuous chimes. I have had to remove the Amcrest Doorbell and put the old push button back on in order to have a working doorbell. I have emailed tech suppor...

Worked for me .... finally. Never heard back from support still but I guess it doesn't much matter now.
