Re: Email test failed on IPC IP3M-954E
In general, if there is one thing that irks me more than information/documentation that is lacking, it is bad information/documentation. The overall message in this post that "only SMTP server that will accept email from the Amcrest camera is Yahoo's server" is dead wrong. I have (3) Amcre...

Re: IP8M-2696EW-AI Excessive Emails
I am 100% sure that when "Send Email" is enabled ONLY on the IVS page, the camera generates quite a few emails. I am attaching a document with the settings that were in effect during the last test. As you can see, both Motion Detection and SMD are both DISABLED along with their respective ...

IP8M-2696EW-AI Excessive Emails
The IVS-driven motion alerts are quite accurate as far as not having false positives but the no. of emails that are generated for a single alert is excessive . During a single motion event, which per the timestamps in the recorded videos had a duration of 2 minutes 55 seconds, I received (13) emails...

Re: Managing IP8M-2696EW-AI in AmcrestView Pro
Thanks for the information. Having only partial functionality on AVP for this camera is a problem so future purchases will be re-thought. Hopefully, AVP for this camera is ready for prime time very soon. I just want to confirm a couple of things: - Are you saying that if my phone/AVP is not on the n...

Managing IP8M-2696EW-AI in AmcrestView Pro
I did an "Add Device" to add my IP8M-2696EW-AI to Amcrest View Pro. Live view works fine and can see most of the non-smart motion detection settings. The settings below are not visible in the app's Configuration Center: - Face Detection - IVS - Smart Motion Detection Has anyone come across...

Re: IP8M-2696EW-AI Snapshots
For motion events I will be relying on the videos instead of snapshots. I have reverified my observations on snapshot frequency during EVENTS; the snapshot frequency is erratic. However, I have also implemented scheduled snapshots (GENERAL) and the frequency of these snapshots is spot on. Thanks for...

Re: IP8M-2696EW-AI Snapshots
Thanks a lot for your response but I don't quite understand what you're saying so let me give it another try. Please note that in all cases below I am referencing the exact verbiage in the camera's setup ! 1. In Setup page "Event | Video Detection | Motion Detection", the setting "Sna...

IP8M-2696EW-AI Snapshots
After installing the camera, it would take snapshots when motion was detected per the Interval specification in Camera | Video | Snapshot (3S) and per the no. of snapshots specification in Event | Video Detection | Motion Detection (3 snapshots). After I added a Smart Plan, the no. of snapshots take...

Re: Excessive Alert Emails
Great but puzzling on how you're not being bombarded with excessive emails with a factory setting of 5 for Anti-Dither (see my comments on an earlier post). No. of snapshots is set to 3 and I get 3 snapshots. Quality is set to 5. I purchased mine in early 2016.

Re: Excessive Alert Emails
As you were doing the testing on your end, I did reset my camera. The primary parameter that impacts the SMTP email alert FREQUENCY for an event is the Anti-Dither parameter. The shorter the Anti-Dither duration the higher the probability multiple SMTP emails will be sent for the same situation. Sen...
