Amcrest Forum

It turns out there is lots of discussion... and further confirmation of the fallback problem... over on ipcamtalk.com. I discovered this site just this morning (good ol' Google search). https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/email-notify.39414/page-3 Also... you'll notice numerous mentions of Dahua. Turns ou...

I was curious to compare the failing Client Hello from the camera with a working Client Hello from my local email relay server to GMail. See attachment. As you see they are extremely similar. Especially notice that blue highlighting. Both working and non-working Hellos specify Version: TLS 1.0 (0x03...

RE: "Resources are limited, Failed to play video stream" This is what cured that problem for me... First... you have to be able to logon to the web interface built into the camera... but most of you seem able to do that part just fine. In other words... if your camera IP is 192.168.44.23, ...
