Would like to see snapshots actually work with 1 -3 -5 instead of only 3. Also when doing this how about an option of 1 2 3 4 5?

Picked up a couple more 4k cameras last week. The prices are finally dropping. Do you think new cameras are coming out? Not really happy with the 5mp screen resolution (wide screen stretches picture) and 4mp cameras are non existent. Might need to go 4k on all.

Sorry, found it in task manager, not in services after I sent this.

Does anyone know the name of the PC-NVR service that needs stopped to do an upgrade to Surveillance Pro? Nothing showing from Amcrest in services.

When setting up snapshots to be emailed for notification the system shows 1 -3 - 5. 1 and 5 cannot be chosen. If you send 3 it's too much for a mms message. Anyone had the same issue? I only need to send 1 picture.

After talking with a few reps and looking at specs. I may be able to just use motion detection instead of intrusion or tripwire. Of these 2 NVRs which would you pick and why? Current setup is Hikvision DVR with 16 coax cameras. Will be replacing cameras with POE and installing NVR.

Sales rep said the new 5 Series can do tripwire and intrusion detection on 5 cameras. Anyone ever tested this? I'm waiting to get a confirmation before ordering a 5 series or AI model after returning a model that would not do this.
