So I started getting disconnects again. I changed my Hubitat rule (see my post on July 26, 2021) to Light=50 about five days ago and I have been checking the Blue-Iris logs - no more disconnects. So I guess 90% brightness is too much. I can tell a difference between 50% and 90%, especially if I am m...

@Revo2Maxx I replaced the transformer yesterday with a 16V 30VA one. No problems occurred prior or since, and my Hubitat automation has been updating the camera every night at sunset since July 26. All is good. Thanks again for your help!

My camera made it through the night last night with zero disconnects. Zero! And I am still using a 16V, 10VA transformer, so the transformer is obviously not the cause of my problems. I am still planning to replace my transformer with a 16V, 30VA one, but only because it is recommended. Not because ...

Revo2Maxx I am using the chime kit, so I guess I still need the 30VA transformer, but I followed the solution in this thread: https://amcrest.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=13999&p=37031#p37031. My camera made it through the night last night with zero disconnects. It seems that manually con...

I created a rule in Hubitat that does the same thing pcabral is doing. My rule runs every day at sunset. I tried to think of a better trigger mechanism, but it is no big deal if it runs seven times a week. I guess if there is a reboot after sunset and the values revert to factory settings, it will h...

I ended up turning Night Vision off, which is not ideal but the rebooting stopped. I have decided to look at this again and ordered a new 30VA transformer, since my current one is only rated at 10VA. I will check back in next week to report if that fixes the problem or not.

Just installed mine the other day and not very impressed with this device with issues like this. I have solid power on new 18AWG wiring from a 40VA transformer with no chime on it (had no existing doorbell to tie to) so power is good. Mine was restarting exactly every 5 minutes (plus or minus a sec...

I recently installed my Amcrest doorbell and noticed it keeps disconnecting from WiFi every five minutes or so. It remains disconnected for about a minute, and the it reconnects. I have a storage card installed so I went out on the porch and danced around to trigger a recording because if the camera...
