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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

Be well,

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...
