    What's the best camera type for an exterior wall that covers front door walk up?

    Alright, so here are some additional photos you guys can look over. The upper right corner is where I'd like it but I'm worried that it'll be tough routing the ethernet cable behind the brick and then down into the cavity between the outer plywood and the interior drywall. From the crawlspace...

    What's the best camera type for an exterior wall that covers front door walk up?

    Need help with running POE from the crawlspace: Based on the photos I provided above, I'd like to mount the camera on narrow wall (camera right) somewhere between the front door and the corner of the wall. That area will allow me to cover walk-ups and the street. The wall with the larger window...

    I need help again with logging into my WiFi Amcrest Camera

    IP2M-841S My router also has this feature where I can change the IP to a DHCP static IP address but when I tried that, Amcrest IP Config still saw it as .111 and not .185. I changed it back for now.

    I need help again with logging into my WiFi Amcrest Camera

    Alright so I know in the past I've seen this problem asked before (probably by me) but for some reason, I still can't get the IE browser (old version) to open my camera. I reset the camera and used the Amcrest app to get the camera working on my WiFi. I can see the camera output in the Amcrest...

    What can I do if Amcrest re-sold my license and can't log in?

    Problem is, I can't remember the account I bought it under and Amazon won't allow feedback when the seller can't verify the purchase. Thanks for the tip but it looks like I'm gonna have to buy it again.

    What can I do if Amcrest re-sold my license and can't log in?

    So my PC crashed and took my Amcrest software with it. I obviously have the DVD and serial number it came with but because I didn't have the chance to deactivate the serial number before the crash, I can't sign back in because it said both licenses have been used. Problem is, I never used the...

    Can I have a POE switch downstream of powerline ethernet adapter?

    For some reason I can't get it through my thick head whether or not the camera has to have power from the POE switch before it can be plugged into the powerline adapter to send the signal downstairs.

    What's the best camera type for an exterior wall that covers front door walk up?

    How are all those powered? I don't see a POE option for any of those. As you can see, I don't currently have an AC junction box in the brick wall other than the light fixtures but, I planned on getting my electrician out to run ethernet down the wall into the crawlspace so he can do both if...

    What's the best camera type for an exterior wall that covers front door walk up?

    So, I'm looking for a camera that'll mount to the wall right next to my front door. I was looking at another Amcrest dome camera but some have mentioned that by being mounted vertically, rain drops both wet and dried up could eventually block a clear view as I don't have a covered front porch...

    Motion vs trigger question

    Did the research and found out it was all about the "Make Time". Now it triggers everything I need.

    Motion vs trigger question

    First off, I figured this topic was better suited for "General Talk" than "Troubleshooting" as I don't think this is a problem but more of a misunderstanding of the BI software. So I hope I choose the right forum. Alright so I've been trying to tweak my outdoor Amcrest camera (IP2M-844E) to be...

    Camera resetting every minute and my license disappeared

    This seemed to have worked. The camera is stable now with none of this issues stated above. Thanks to all.

    Camera resetting every minute and my license disappeared

    Quick update. I'm still waiting to hear back from Amcrest about my license key and because I'm without Blue Iris right now, I've been monitoring my cameras with either the camera web interface or Amcrest View Pro app and have not had one issue no matter how long I stare at the feed. So is it...

    Camera resetting every minute and my license disappeared

    First off, your forum handle needs to be Mr. KnowItAll:). Okay so I found Internet Explorer and didn't know Edge was on by default so thanks for that. Now, within the Amcrest camera interface, the camera seems fine on both the short cable and the long self-crimped one I originally ran. No black...

    Camera resetting every minute and my license disappeared

    I can't. I have Windows 10 and no matter how many attempts I try to install the web plugin, I still get the exception that the plugin needs to be installed. What research I did on this was that it was a windows 10 problem. I've tried this on Firefox, Chrome and IE.

    Camera resetting every minute and my license disappeared

    Yes I wired to the 568B but even the cable I bought from Cable Matters was producing the same result. Also I forgot to mention that within the same time of this issue, the camera has been having trouble sometimes turning NV on at night. When I try to for it on through BI, it doesn't respond like...

    Camera resetting every minute and my license disappeared

    I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. In the last couple of days I've been having trouble with my Amcrest outdoor camera and now I just launched BI and my license is gone. I bought the full $60 version only 2-3 months ago on Amazon. As far a the camera goes, it's been constantly re-tripping...

    Blue Iris: error 8000274c - No Camera Signal

    Okay I understand the difference now and yes I am hitting "Save" and waiting for it to show me the "successful" notification. Seems to work for a bunch of days and then go offline with the "8000247c" error. I have the latest firmware on the camera as well. If it matters at all, I'm not sure when...

    Blue Iris: error 8000274c - No Camera Signal

    So a visit back to the camera offline issue. Came home today and the indoor camera (running wireless off the Wi-Fi.) was offline again. The IP address has been running with a static IP ending in .87 but now that it was offline, I could not login into the camera through the browser. When I ran...

    Can you defrag the drive while it's recording clips or do you do it when recording is suspended?

    BI showing higher frame rate than camera settings?

    I have Amcrest cameras and have had the same issues. I can select them both to 20 fps in the Amcrest IP login screen but it seems over time, the BI shows them at 30+ fps. It doesn't bother me as I have a very fast computer and two mirrored 4TB drives recording clips locally but find it strange...

    Amcrest camera not triggering

    Hi All, I'll get right to the point.I have my new outdoor Amcrest camera recording the driveway and street. I have it set up to trigger all in zone A which is everything besides the trees in case the wind blows the leaves. It easily records every car coming down the street as soon as it comes...

    Blue Iris: error 8000274c - No Camera Signal

    The 2nd camera was showing up because I had plugged the camera into the router in case I needed to update the firmware. Once I unplugged it, IP Config just saw one. I have not touched the router settings and will follow your instructions. Thanks. Got it back online. Thank you very much. So is...

    Blue Iris: error 8000274c - No Camera Signal

    Steps 8-10? Yeah I don't know what I'm doing. I installed IP Config and it says I have 2 cameras when I only have one. The IP & MAC columns have different addresses. Could this be my problem? I haven't messed with settings for weeks.

    Blue Iris: error 8000274c - No Camera Signal

    Whoops! Nope. I thought I read that static IPs may cost $$ with certain providers (I have AT&T) so I think I just left it in DHCP hoping it wouldn't change. So now what? Do I need to start over from scratch on the camera side and build a new profile that'll allow me to get a static IP or just...
