    Unable to log in to Amcrest Forum to "browse"

    What is strange is that I am automatically logged in by Edge (or firefox, etc) but I am asked to change my password which I am unable to do. It is not possible to browse the forum unless I first log out. I did that, read a few things at General Discussion, made a note of the admin "Revo2Maxx"...

    Need help understanding the licensing / billing

    Just got an email from paypal concerning my $35 purchase from that BI website: Paypal advises me I have 180 days to get my money back. Something is very wrong there. Why don't they have an account manager or a forum of their own for help? [edit] Got an email back from them. I emailed...

    Need help understanding the licensing / billing

    There appears to be no way to stop the 12 month billing No account to log into. Seems it is no different than office 365 or adobe acrobat subscription in that their apps still function, just no updates. Possibly if I use PayPal I can cancel. PayPal does list occurring payments and it is...

    Need help understanding the licensing / billing

    Upgraded 4 to 5 when 5 first came out. My "expiration" date was 5/2020. Running the iPhone app yesterday, I got a request to update the 5.x server version. After doing the upgrade I got the blue overlay that I had a trial version. I also got a message that the service version did not match...

    Reusing ADT "pulse" cameras: keep from phoning home

    Reusing ADT "pulse" cameras: keep from phoning home

    I will consider your suggestion. In the mean time this has become a "challenge". I tried a WiFi card, setting up a hot spot for the camera to connect to but the camera uses only wpa2-personal (or less) and win10 requires PSK / AES or higher so no connection. The Netgear router allows...

    Reusing ADT "pulse" cameras: keep from phoning home

    My son canceled his subscription and wants to reuse his RC8025B-ADT "pulse" cameras. I picked up one of his cameras and an older computer from him. I managed to get the RC8025B to work with blue iris after I discovered it was phoning home and changing its password. There should be a way to...
