I have an Amcrest AD410 integrated with BI, and use the doorbell app in conjunction. Works well, no complaints other than the inability to customize the 410’s settings, which seems to be the case more most doorbells.

@TonyR no, that was for a separate issue I was having where once I hid the clone, the alert/clip would not be shown in the list to review. Reference this issue, I have temporarily fixed the “no video available” issue by enabling recording for the clone upon trigger only. This has allowed me to...

Thank you for posting this solution. Helped a guy out 4 years later

Hi all, I've cloned a few cameras to set up different trigger zones that would immediately alert me if someone enters a certain part of my property. I disabled all recording on these cloned cameras to avoid duplicating video and wasting storage space. I selected the original camera as the...

@quest100 I've created clones of each, which are working. However, linked alerts do not play any video, only show an image in the alert list. I did not enable recording on any of the profiles with the clone cameras- do I have to enable recording with each clone camera in order for an alert to...

That’s a GREAT idea. Thank you!

Holy cow- since doing this update my audio alerts have been through the roof as compared to before (audio alerts were enabled then, too). Disabled for now, until I can get the settings squared away. Picking up a lot of wind noise alerts when gunshots or breaking glass at night are what’s intended.

@The Automation Guy appreciate it. Do you know if that trumps the “end trigger within x seconds” setting (the setting that goes along with it) if max trigger time is set below that threshold? I’d assume so, but don’t want to mess anything up.

I'm concerned about, for example, if a car drives past my home and triggers BI to send an alert, I'll get an alert that shows a vehicle driving by. Now, if a subject immediately exits that vehicle and comes on my driveway checking doors, since it's still within the time frame of that original...

Interesting that some are on a different tab. Glad to hear you haven’t had any issues tho

Anyone have any experience with this update?

Anyone give this update a try yet? How does it change the motion/trigger/alert settings options?

Good idea. Will writing to two drives increased CPU usage? also, will I need some type of connector for the optical bay HDD, or does the optical bay use the same was the HDD?

I need to bump my video drive storage from 4tb to 8tb with a new WD Purple drive. However, the 4tb still works just fine and I don’t exactly want to just throw it aside and not use it. Any way I can incorporate the 4tb into my BI system after installing the 8tb? PC is an HP Prodesk 600 G1

Calls worked, got the iFrame to 1... BUTTT Holy cow- messed with sharpness in Amcrest Pro and that messed the picture up big time- so noisy could barely make anything out. Factory reset and reinstall got it going again. Slightly disappointing. Also, noticed WDR (turned on through the Amcrest...
