    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    One last thing I forgot to add. You will need one of the iCloud storage plan to use AI and playback feature. It storage on your iCloud drive and playback from it as well too. The playback functionality on Homekit honestly is very well designed and laid out. The icon of AI detection will...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    One more thing to add If you are using Dahua NVR for full time recording which I am, you need to make sure auto switch to H265 is not checked when adding AD410 back on. The NVR change its’ configuration to H265 when I added it back in after setting it up in Scrypted. I learned the hard way. ugh….

    Amazon cheating Return

    I have to wonder if the item and box returned actually match and then could it be a case of mistaken item returned like the camera went back to the vendor who sell those toy? Maybe same customer returning two different items and label got mixed up.

    Thieves took my DVR!

    No need to make it longer than the thickness of the hinge metal plate and when it fully closed, there no really way to get a gap in between two hinge plates enough to slide the plate over the pin to get door out.

    From what I heard that in hurricane states, the door need to swing outward into the garage because it will withstand the wind force against the door better and open garage make a good wind tunnel.

    Classic car buffs...can you name this car?

    I am thinking Chrysler because it look like a very short wheelbase and the rear split windows. It could be the len distortion making it look shorter than it actually is.

    Classic car buffs...can you name this car?

    If it a Chevrolet then it will need to be a Trinidad model which have the split rear window. There not many Chevrolet model in 50's with the rear split windows.

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    Amcrest may be in the same boat as us since they don't manufacture the doorbell and Dahua is not moving fast enough to correct this defect in their factory.
