Well Crap!!!! You could have saved me some time in testing all my cables, bandwidth and factory resetting that cam a bunch of times! LOL

@wittaj, did you happen to catch my "Acid Rain Video" post? I had a video in there. If you watch the short video, it's crazy that that was seemingly just a vbr thing....

@ipmania, for what it's worth, I was having some problems with my picture on the same cam. I ended up switching it up to CBR as high as I could at 15fps which I think was 8192. This seemed to clear everything up. For some reason when set on variable the bitrate kept spiking and going as low as...

@wittaj Excellent explanation, thank you, this really helps us new guys wrap our heads around some of the camera settings.

Yes, and I read that. However, it sounded like Cameras with newer firmware than the firmware date installed in mine. There are a lot of the guys in this forum that had luck or no luck, but I couldn't find great info on this particular camera model. That's why I thought id toss this out there.

Hey guys, so I bought a couple of these off of amazon to play around with and see how they work. I have read that some of you guys had had luck flashing them to dahua/empiretech firmware. A lot of Amcrest to dahua/empiretech luck, but I was having trouble finding correct info for these cameras...

So I figured I'd just post my findings in case it helps out the next guy. After checking all my cables and connections I factory reset the camera which seemed to get me back with a "clearer" picture. But after playing around with my camera settings some more the picture started to get back to...

Hey guys, I seriously don't know what to call this, but for some reason over the last day or so one of my cameras has developed this acid rain static picture. I want to say I noticed it when it was raining last night and thought it had to do with that. But it hasn't changed. In the day it isn't...

HA HA HA!!!! You know, I would have probably gone down that road, but I knew I was going to be terminating some RJ45's and from previous experience, A few glasses of bourbon, cat6, and rj45's just don't mix :lmao: .

Yeah, actually I have a couple of weird things going on that are new. By pushing through, I mean I get a push notification on my phone, which strangely enough are showing up on my front door camera, but not the back patio. 2ndly I am no longer getting live feed from cellular data, keeps timing...

Oh man, so this was after midnight and I may or may not have been a few beers in, but I want to say that unplugged the camera, rebooted the nvr. As I mentioned I took ethernet to a switch and out of the switch to the NVR and Cam. It showed up on the top pane with the 10.1.1.xx and I'm pretty...

@bigredfish Well Update..... So the PSA process works pretty well. I was able to get most of the 5 cameras to do their own pushing down to the bottom, but one was being difficult even after a factory reset. Given its location (not easy to plug the NVR into) I "forced it" down after finding it...

Thank you @EMPIRETECANDY, I'll keep you guys posted. Cheers,

AHHHHH!!!! Because my house is under remodeling, I have friggin switches everywhere! Like 4 or 5 of them. 2 are Poe and they are the only two I have running cameras. With this advice, I might take a look at my "temporary routing" LOL. Wait, actually, I think I have everything under the 192.168.2...

Thank you for your response @bigredfish, I feel like I know you after going through a million pages of you trying to help another gentleman out lol. I think you checked all the boxes for me. I was finding it dificult/impossible to get the cameras as you had described pulling them off the NVR...

Hey guys, So Noobie here, and with full disclosure, I bought a bunch of stuff and hooked it up figuring I'd learn as I go. Best practice for a guy like me lol. So I bought an NVR5216-16P-4Ks2E, and a fun combination of @EMPIRETECANDY cameras along with a couple of Amcrest amazon 4K on sale...
