Re: AD110 Timezone Issue

My DST settings for my AD110 specify EasternTime (GMT -5) with DST enabled, DST beginning on the 2nd Sunday of March. (Settings below.) Why then has my AD110 jumped ahead one hour on March 2nd at midnight (from Friday into Saturday)? table.All.Locales.DSTEnable=true table.All.Locales.DSTEnd.Day=0 ta...

AD110 Doorbell + Dahua NVR + DMSS app + DST offset

Despite the many setup and config woes, I love my AD110 doorbell. I've got everything dialed in and working with my Dahua/Amcrest NVR, Blue Iris, Alexa, the SmartPSS desktop app, and the DMSS iPhone app. There's one issue that I've yet to resolve and I'm hoping someone here with more knowledge or ex...

Re: NV41xx max HD size?

I tried the 5.1 firmware from 7-13-2021. It killed motion detection on all my ONVIF cams. For that reason, I prefer the 3-19-2020 FW. I've installed a 12TB HDD tonight. It was physically shorter than the 4TB that it replaced. Full capacity detected.

Re: NV41xx max HD size?

Since having made this post, Amcrest has updated the spec on the Amazon listings for the NV4xxx NVRs to supporting 10TB drives. Now I'm wondering if anyone has tried installing a 12TB or greater single drive.

Re: AD110 button press mobile notification (stopped working)

It seems a second press of the doorbell button triggers the notification in the iOS app. So my hack for this is a small label above the button that says “press twice”.

AD110 button press mobile notification (stopped working)

doorbell presses are still announced by Alexa, but the SmartHome and DMSS apps (which still do notify me of motion) no longer notify me of bell presses on my iPhone. I checked ALL the config values using the API and nothing has changed since the last time this worked. Is anyone else having the same ...

Re: RTSP has wrong codec info (AD110)

As of today, the RTSP main stream audio codec info has reverted from AAC back to PCM. The config values for audio for mainstream [0] and [1] are still set to AAC. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for why the RTSP stream info is wrong or where it's getting those values from. I've set mainstream [...

Re: RTSP has wrong codec info (AD110)

so... it turns out that using the talk feature from anything OTHER than Alexa breaks Alexa's ability to connect to the cam until the next restart. I would use SH only to talk, but the talk feature from the iOS SH app always fails for me, which is why I resort to talking from AVP or DMSS.

Re: Feature Request: SmartHome & Alexa show-me fix

I had a visitor today, and immediately following the button press and call answer, the alexa skill stopped working. I rebooted the doorbell and verified the alexa skill began to work again. After that, I performed another call between the doorbell and my phone and observed the alexa skill broke agai...
