    favicon.ico for Amcrest IP2M-841-V3

    Is there a way to place the file favicon.ico in the main directory of my Amcrest cam IP2M-841-V3 (ftp or such?), so that the image would show up in the browser tabs and next to the favorites?

    Amcrest IP2M-841-V3 AP Roaming

    Thanks for your suggestions. :thumb: I'm using Onvier on my mobile phone to check the cams. I think it would fail when that garage cam would have another network. I have created a shortcut to reboot the cam (192.168.178.222/cgi-bin/magicBox.cgi?action=reboot ) when I notice, that the cam has...

    Amcrest IP2M-841-V3 AP Roaming

    Thank you Tony. Yes, that's the prereq for a mesh network. Two different SSIDs result in two different networks, making it harder to manage the cams.

    Amcrest IP2M-841-V3 AP Roaming

    Although there is a close repeater (mesh network) my IP2M-841-V3 sometimes prefers to connect directly to the router and the connection then is worse as it would be with the repeater. I can't see that the cam supports Access Point Roaming. Question to Amcrest Support: Is there any chance that...

    IP2M-841-V3, modify for external aerial

    I tried ... but finally gave up on it as it became too hot and the effort seemed not worthwhile in the end. The WiFi circuit is in the cam head, the antenna can be seen on the 1st picture (silver piece of bent sheet metal).

    IP2M-841-V3, modify for external aerial

    Hi Tony, thanks for your reply and the tips. I've done surgery on this cam before (IP2M-841B-V3: tilt is stiff and jerky) and I've also done that aerial modification on my previous HooToo HT-IP211HDP cams successfully. There it was obvious where to connect the pigtail and I was wondering, if it...

    IP2M-841-V3, modify for external aerial

    My IP2M-841-V3 is located in the garage and the wifi-connection is critical. Im considering to modify the cam with (a connector for) an external aerial to improve the connectivity. Before I do my surgery I wanted to ask if anybody has done that already and may share some tips and experience?

    Why are IR-Leds switched with Relay?

    Ahh, interesting. Thank you. Fastes answer ever. :)

    Why are IR-Leds switched with Relay?

    I had various cams now (Hootoo, Amcest, Blink). Every time the IR-Leds are activated on any of them I hear a "click", indicating that the leds are switched by means of a relay. Why is that and why don't they switch silently with a semiconductor?

    Firmware updates but no change logs

    All the firmware updates on this page (Firmware Upgrade | Amcrest Technologies ) come without any change log. What is the point in offering something without any description? Is this :secret:? How should I decide to take it or not? :confused: This is like selling mysterious pills without any...

    Reboot Shortcut?

    I just learned from AVM, that WLAN Mesh Steering could be used with the Fritz!Box, if the cams would support WLAN-Standards 802.11k and 802.11v . Unfortunately the don't.

    Reboot Shortcut?

    Thanks. There is no blacklist with the Fritz!Box router. It can be done though, but by pretty awkward way.

    Reboot Shortcut?

    Yes, but Edge strips of the <userid>:<password>@ part. It seems to work with Firefox though. :thumb:

    Reboot Shortcut?

    Great! Thank you! Exactly, what I was looking for. Just tried it but passing the credentials didn't work. Was prompted for userid and pw, but with the option, to save the password. I remember, that windows or the browser does no longer allow passing ui&pw that way for security reasons.

    Reboot Shortcut?

    Thanks, but that would also affect lots of other connected devices.

    Reboot Shortcut?

    My IP2M-841B-V3 occasionally connects directly to the distant router instead to the near repeater. This can be fixed by a cam reboot, but as the signal is very poor now, it is a torture to go thruogh the menus in order to trigger the reboot. Is there some shortcut url containing ip, userid and...

    IP2M-841B-V3: Power Consumption and Power Supply Performance

    Fwiw, I did some measuring on my IP2M-841B-V3 cams and I want to share the results with you. First I checked the power supply (rated 5V/2A) that came with the cam and measured voltage while changing the load (or current): 4,8 V at 1,0 A 4,6 V at 1,5 A 4,0 V at 1,8 A For comparison, I also...

    IP2M-841B-V3: tilt is stiff and jerky

    Hello Carlos, thank you, I contacted the support and the Product Support Specialist responded yesterday and told me to do a hard reset on the camera. I think you agree that a hard reset is most likely not appropriate to fix obvious mechanical problems. Meanwhile I have repaired the cam and...

    IP2M-841B-V3: tilt is stiff and jerky

    Thanks. Surgery done. Patient recovered from anesthesia. :) Dismantling the cam was a medium challenge. It turned out the the tilt motor was centered poorly, when the cam was assembled. Gladly the motor mounting screws could be accessed through holes on the opposite side and centering could...

    IP2M-841B-V3: tilt is stiff and jerky

    Tony, thanks for your reply. Not until now ... but no improvement. I can hear the the motor tormenting with resistance. Maybe a drop of silicone oil will help ...? I've done surgery on Hootoo cameras before and proceeded exactly as you sugested (taking pictures). :) The IR-Leds used to die on...

    IP2M-841B-V3: tilt is stiff and jerky

    With 2 out of my 3 new IP2M-841B-V3 the tilt function goes stiff and jerky. The angle it does is between 45 and 60 degrees only. It seems to be a mechanical problem. Is there something that I can do? Returning them from Germany to the US is probably not an option. I'm an engineer experienced...

    Autologin to IP2M-841B-V3 Web UI?

    Thanks for your answer. Beside the IP2M-841B-V3 I also have an old HooToo HT-IP211HDP, which is quite similar to the 841B and has also a Web Access Page. Auto Login works with this camera ...?

    Autologin to IP2M-841B-V3 Web UI?

    When I login to the Web UI of my IP2M-841B-V3 , I always have to enter the password. Is there a way to save the pw or have some sort of auto-login?

    Various questions regarding my new IP2M-841B-V3

    I have received a new a IP2M-841B-V3 (manufactured 2019-12 in Mexico) , that I have updated to the latest firmware (V2.800.00AC001.0.R, Build Date: 2021-03-31). I am only using the Web UI to the cam and I got a few questions: 1. When I want to change from Wire to Wireless while configuring...

    Hi from Germany, looking for a WiFi Cam that can ftp pics

    Thank you, that looks good. Unfortunately Amazon charges 100€ (110 USD) for that cam here in Germany. Would you know what the equivalent Dahua device would be?

    Hi from Germany, looking for a WiFi Cam that can ftp pics

    Hello, I'm Joachim from Mainz/Germany. I have two Hootoo HT-IP211HDP indoor cams running in my network for about 4 years now. They can be remotely horizontally and vertically adjusted, got WiFi and motion detection and can upload pictures or videos to my NAS via FTP. Unfortunally the cams are...
