Re: Can the New AI NVRs Analyze Non-AI Video?

Thank you for that answer, and I suspected as much. But just to be clear, with an AI camera and an AI NVR you can have area of detection with ability to turn off the cameras, but not with an AI camera or an AI NVR? Or did I misunderstand you?

Can Amcrest Doorbell Work With View Pro?

Hello, I have 2 IP8M-2493’s that I tilted 90 degrees to get optimal view. Problem is that the IR lights have a tendency to reflect off the exterior of my house and makes the yard look extremely dark and unviewable in contrast; I have been turning the lights off totally as a workaround, as that actua...
