Re: Replacing 2 - Foscam FI8918W Cameras

The other day I had both cameras fail and guessed it was the Access Point but after closer look it appears to be the cameras. Looking at the Amcrest IP cameras I'm wondering if the IP4M-1028B camera will fit the bill. A very important feature I must have is the ability to turn the IR lights on/off ...

Re: No add button for presets

Then I would suspect it's a problem with the latest 2019 firmware that your camera may be using since the last line on your Web UI screen says 2019. That firmware is described in https://amcrest.com/forum/ip-cameras-f1 ... 12744.html

Re: Auto Maintenance - Delete Files X days - files not deleted

spleen911, My thoughts after reviewing this thread: Have you tried H.265 compression? It can reduce recording storage required by H.264 by up to 50%. H.265 can use a lower bitrate and have the same quality video. You would have to test it, but I believe recording storage required by General 24/7 rec...

Re: No add button for presets

Perhaps you can't see all of the WebUI screen. Move the vertical dark gray bar on the right down. Actually, you can see the very top of the next box under the Go To box in your image.

Re: adding live feed to website

To not enter id password, I think you may need some code involving digest authorization. Perhaps using something like https://github.com/jantman/python-amcrest-noauth-proxy Another way may to configure your camera to FTP snapshots at a desired interval to your website, if your website has a FTP serv...

Re: Auto Maintenance - Delete Files X days - files not deleted

See if this thread helps: https://amcrest.com/forum/ip-cameras-f18/nvr-overwrite-hdd-when-full-t6529.html Perhaps you could just use HD Full=Overwrite. Or perhaps you could use both Overwrite and Auto Delete Files, and it would write forever but you would only see the last X days in Playback. I have...

Re: IP3M-941W - Very suspicious outbound IP traffic

Camera does initiate connections to Cloud and P2P. See https://support.amcrest.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004829791-How-To-Disable-P2P-Functionality Port forwarding is not considered a secure connection by security experts. That suspicious address may be a hack to your camera. P2P is a somewhat more s...

Re: IP8M-2496EB seems delayed in Blue Iris

tward392,
I don't know what your experience level and CPU load is with Blue Iris. But try setting Blue Iris setting to "direct to disc" for your camera, and in-camera setting to 15 fps. I suggest you search for Blue Iris forums where you'll find lots of BI information and help.
