Revo, why are they calling this a "new release" if you were posting about it back here in September? Just Curious...

Re: How connect IP5M-1190W directly to ethernet port , NO INTERNET

Thanks for input, but this is for use when I travel which is for lengthy periods of time in camper. Camper is solar powered, and I only use the phone currently as a hotspot for all my internet and computer needs. I mostly want it to spot wildlife that may wander by during the night. This particular ...

Re: How connect IP5M-1190W directly to ethernet port , NO INTERNET

My Solution.... Instead of trying to hook in direct from laptop to camera via ethernet, I tried something I never tried before which was to put my phone in Hotspot Mode, and then reset the camera and then use the "SoftAP" method outlined in the manual. I disconnected the phone from my home...

Re: How connect IP5M-1190W directly to ethernet port , NO INTERNET

I set a static ip address on it when I was using it on my network. I did finally get it to show up on the Amcrest IP tool, but still am unable to connect via the web browser. Will try again tommorrow. I'm just looking for anyway to use this cam as a night vision cam for my camper, it would be nice t...

How connect IP5M-1190W directly to ethernet port , NO INTERNET

I would like to use this camera connected directly to my computer laptop, as a way to use it as an outdoor camera for my camper. I just want to connect directly to ethernet port, not thru internet. I know the cameras static IP is 192.168.0.205 and I can even ping it when I set my ethernet adapters a...

Re: Anyone setup Orion yet?

I was JUST going to install ASP on my backup laptop, and I saw this thing for download with todays date on it. So I was surprised to see this post from Sept. Can't find anything on it. I may install it just to look around in a bit, but first I have to get ASP going.

I'll check back.

Is it possible to setup different detection areas based on Zoom level?

I'm guessing the answer is no, but I have a 5x optical zoom on my IP8M-VB2696EW-AI; and everytime I change the zoom level I have to change the detection area.

Thanks.

IP8M-VB2696EW-AI - Can I use IVS and Smart Motion Detect at same time?

I have searched this camera model on this forum and no one has posted anything about this camera. This is a newer camera, and I am used to not being able to use IVS features and Smart Motion Detect simultaneously, because on all my other Amcrest Cameras if you enable the IVS Smart Plan, it DISABLES ...

Re: Surveillance Pro: Black screen during playback but still kbps reading...

Well, even though this has worked on Win 11 consistently before I had an issue, I have not been able to view it lately for many consecutive days. So I right clicked the Amcrest S Pro icon, and went into compatibility mode, I let it set its own parameters and then clicked the button to "test the...

Surveillance Pro: Black screen during playback but still kbps reading...

This is becoming a real pain. When I open Amcrest Surveillance Pro and try to playback video from the local SD card storage over the internet, it appears as though it is streaming the vid because there is an kbps # in upper left corner, but the screen is just BLACK. It used to be every now and then ...
