    Basic Alerts Question Regarding Duplicate Alerts

    Yes..,, and my thoughts exactly regarding the significance of the email account. That's why I'm puzzled. Not sure what you're referring to for the alert event setup; the trigger to activate the alert, or the 'action' when the event triggers it?

    Basic Alerts Question Regarding Duplicate Alerts

    I just recently began using SMS alerts with a cloned driveway camera. The carrier took some figuring out as it's a Verizon MVNO, but that part is all good now. I receive a SMS alert with 100% image quality from a trigger at the entrance of my driveway before a vehicle gets even halfway to the...

    Onvif device manager and all cams network

    The Blue Iris suggestion puts you in complete control of anything you may want to do with your cameras now that you have the information provided by ODM. If a simpler solution may be more suitable at the outset, there's always tinyCam as a more than adequate entry-level platform that can run...

    Ebay purchase - Windows 10 Pro or 11 Pro operating system?

    Regarding any type of system updates (for an existing version), by all means schedule them and invoke the process manually so you know what's happening when. I schedule mine for every 30 days which is five days before Windows will do it automatically from the date of the last scheduled one if...

    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    This may or may not help, but pretty much details my non-Dahua QSee journey (successfully, btw) beginning with post #37. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/q-see-cam-issue.62551/page-2#post-655840 Good luck.

    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    Post the model information of the cameras. They aren't necessarily Dahua cameras as many would suggest they are. They will probably work with your Amcrest unit regardless of what they are once you are able to access their web interface to set them up appropriately for your system. They may...

    Amcrest cameras and Blue Iris

    I have several WyzeCam v3s (yes, WyzeCams) still not converted to PoE running through BI that are rock solid on a wireless segment of my network which is dedicated strictly to cameras. One is nearly a 100' shot between two buildings and I wouldn't hesitate to drop a PTZ unit into the mix for...

    Install pipe under concrete driveway for less than 6 bucks!

    If I had a quarter for every 8' ground rod I drove under sidewalks to pull RG6 TV cable I would have retired at 30. LOL We also used thinwall with the end mashed down if the soil was loose enough. Just cut the end off and leave it in place to push a drop through. Usually cake. The jetting idea...

    Install pipe under concrete driveway for less than 6 bucks!

    A concrete driveway almost always terminates at a structure. Navigating through the structure almost always provides an easier route than pushing a driveway -- depending on what's being routed, of course. The correct way to do a driveway job is a bore one way by whatever means and pulling...

    What Initializes Quick Sync For A Camera When Intel Is Set As The Default?

    As a point of possible interest, setting each of the cameras in question to their native (default) out-of-the-box configurations enabled HA. As 5MP cameras with a 4:3 aspect ratio, they were all changed to 2560x1440 / 4MP just for the 16:9 ratio conformity of my other cameras on the main dispay...

    Triggers Are All Over the Map After Major Version Upgrade

    FWIW, these are the settings now required to detect a raccoon climbing over the fence in the background of the attached image during nightime hours, but without any Object detection even activated -- which now also seems to be a contributing factor to the motion sensitivity settings issue...

    Triggers Are All Over the Map After Major Version Upgrade

    I explained why I upgraded in my first post. And more than happy to help. LOL How responsive is the Support resource for an expired subscription? Was hoping one of you pioneers would have some insight to the issue itself. Otherwise, consider it reported for further investigation by anyone...

    Triggers Are All Over the Map After Major Version Upgrade

    I didn't mean to excite so many people with this subjec! LOL So a bunch more dickin around definitely points toward some type of change in the main sensitivity/range of the sliders for object size and minimum contrast settings for plain ol' motion detection..., at least for starters. No zones...

    Triggers Are All Over the Map After Major Version Upgrade

    So my first year support/maintenance subscription ran out out on 5/7 and I wanted to be able to have access to the updates available since my last 'successful' one which was 5.5.8.2 back in June '22. I reluctantly updated to 5.7.4.2, without any glaringly obvious issues as has not been the case...

    Anyone Else Tried an Amcrest AMC4KBC28 HD-CVI Camera?

    I know. Not an IP camera. Couldn't find the HD-CVI thread. So these were on sale last week and I bought one to kick the tires with my AMDV8M8-H5 DVR. As usual, the published specs and actual reality were two different things. Great image and night vision, though -- @7fps 4k max. Really? That's...

    What Initializes Quick Sync For A Camera When Intel Is Set As The Default?

    Thanks for the input, but HA is an absolute requirement to keep the i7 happy in my particular setup with 20 cameras. And understood about the H.265 encoding v, acceleration limitation with the particular processor. I was referring to the HA aspect. Things have been running smoothly for the most...

    What Initializes Quick Sync For A Camera When Intel Is Set As The Default?

    I know my i7-4790 won't do H.265 and have everything set to H.264 accordingly for starters. Out of all my cameras, (admittedly a weird ass variety of stuff), Quick Sync grabs everything except several of my 5MP cameras with two other 5s being solidly supported and another randomly supported. All...

    App recommendation

    Sorry. I saw IP Cam Viewer - IPCams as a single link and it didn't even register as the same app. It was an alternative to the SwannViewPlus for the MacOS they'd been using for years on a local monitor until it just quit one day -- after an OS upgrade. Their need was very simple. Please get the...

    App recommendation

    I set this up for a friend's Swann system and it worked great locally on their home LAN. IPCams - Security Camera Viewer App It's a bit clunky to get going but a nice app once it's set up. I couldn't get the iCloud function working due to Apple's incessant duty to protect their users from...

    Erroneous Camera Resolution With AMDV8M8-H5 in IP Mode

    I've been running several different types of cameras on this XVR and have actually been mildly surprised at what it is capable of pulling off given its bandwidth and processing limitations. I've had as many as eight IP cameras simultaneously configured alongside four other 1080P analog cameras...

    Seperate streams for YouTube, amcrest vs BI

    What? No WyzeCams? LOL I have a couple hot-rodded Mini_Hacks PoE v3s hanging off my AMDV8M8 and they do just fine for the intended purpose. Certainly can't argue with the night vision quality and hardwired ethernet changes the game for em completely. Even have a RLC-410A bringin' up the rear...

    Max Throughput Spec for Amcrest AMDV8M8-HD DVR

    So after quite a bit of messing around and getting more familiar with this unit, it pretty much does what I was hoping for and then some -- with the exception being a throughput limitation of 48Mbps however you want to slice or allocate it. For the basic purpose and actual demands put on the...

    Need help with finding best affordable NVR and camera package

    There will always be compromises. Use them to your advantage for broadening your options to find your answer.. Blue Iris is no magic bullet for every need by any means. There's more than just a slight learning curve even for an experienced IT person -- which like you, I also happen to be. And...

    So Who's the Resident Camera Boneyard King Around Here?

    There's gotta be at least one in a surveillance camera forum who has a basement full of stuff. Any other sources of parts and/or 'go-to-guys' who repair cameras? I'm looking for mounting rings for some Panasonic/Advidia A-54s and a power board for a Dahua A21CVM0Z vari-focal dome -- or someone...
