Use a 12V DC 1A(or more) power supply AC adapter, and an ethernet cable to router.  Then use IP Config to change IP address, and Web UI  to remove logo. They're already installed in a difficult-to-access location so it'd have to be PoE. Worst-case I'll borrow an injector so I can connect them to th...

Ah, my original post was a bit unclear, I was doing it from the NVR not the camera (since the cameras are behind the NVR), and from there you can change the Channel Title and Time Title but nothing else.

You should be able to use the API to remove the Amcrest logo. Try these commands noted in the following post: https://amcrest.com/forum/ip-cameras-f18/ad410-doorbell-watermark-t15343.html#p38751 I'd seen that but that looks like you need direct access to the cameras, mine are connected to an NVR so...

These instructions don't seem to be valid any more, there's no option to remove the logo in the IP8M-T2669 that I can see, you can set and remove Channel Title and Time Title but there's no option to get rid of that annoying logo, in one case right in the middle of the door area that I want to recor...

In terms of fitting existing junction boxes it's actually worse than that, the information from Amcrest for those two cameras is completely wrong. The web page for the AMCPFB203W, https://amcrest.com/amcrest-wall-mount-bracket-for-dome-cameras-amcpfb203w.html says: "Compatible with: [...] IP8M-...

From some more googling it looks like a PFA130 will do as well as the hard-to-find 13C, but if anyone can confirm the above stuff that'd be useful before I go out and buy the wrong thing.

I've got a bunch of existing Amcrest cameras that use the standard three-hole mounting layout that all the Amcrest junction boxes have, but recently got some newer AI turret cams (IP8M-2669, -2879) that use a four-hole layout that's incompatible with the existing junction boxes (grr). It looks like ...

I've been looking at upgrading pre-AI dome cameras, which are giving me way too many false triggers, to AI turret cameras, and wanted to check what size mount the AI's would need. This should in theory be easy, except that every single piece of documentation for both the old and new cameras contradi...

Probably Google, they're constantly moving the fenceposts and deciding that whatever security you used last week isn't cromulent enough for them this week. I just gave up on them and moved to outlook.com a year or two back and that's worked without needing the constant tweaking and fiddling that Goo...

The power button is to allow for configuration changes, relocating the NVR, etc. Powering down a Unix system by yanking out the power cord is an absolute no-no but it's the only thing you can do with the 41xx series, and they're relying on the ability of Linux to recover from a hard crash, which is ...
