Regarding #3, I prefer to use Blue Iris motion detection and deepstack AI for trigger events the same as with my other cameras. You don't have to rely on Amcrest's built in software.

Yes I run blue iris for my recording software and detected no issues after upgrade. I'm not doing anything super fancy other than streaming to BI though.

It looks like tons of forums are switching away from supporting Tapatalk to the Fora app. Is there a likelihood that IP Cam Talk will follow the trend? I think it would be a good move.

Good point on it being a reactive change. Yes so far functionality and performance is the same and all the settings tweaks I made under the prior version have remained in place. I haven't done extensive changes through the API though so your mileage may vary.

I just upgraded to the latest August firmware. I'm happy they are being proactive about the battery overheat issue. We'll see if this one lasts past next summer.

That's why we mess with this one. As soon as something that is wireless and onvif compatible comes out that is better, I'll jump on it.

Have you been able to get 2 way comms going through Blue Iris or other onvif protocol compatible software on the reolink?

Don't have the silhouette file anymore but the calipers are saying about 19.5 to 19.75mm OD. It ended up very close to but not overlapping the IR bulbs on each side. I would err on having a little less OD. It's more important that the barrier covers the edge of the main lense.

Well shoot, my apologies if I brought the bad luck. I was on a high from fixing the night vision issue followed by the low of having the battery and power supply fail.

I was also thinking about the potential fire hazard and it does worry me some.

If you happen to locate a source for these, I wouldn't mind trying to swap this bad one and see if it will fire up my old camera again. I have a feeling the power supply might be done though.

Sure thing. Good idea to preemptively replace it.

Agreed, and having a black case with the sun hitting it probably ups that temp over the limits for part of the day. This might be an argument for white cased doorbells in my future.

Just had my camera go offline yesterday and found a perplexing issue when I went through troubleshooting. The case had peeled open at the bottom and I could not get it to respond with any power source, USB or transformer. I thought maybe the kids had hit it with a ball or something. I decided...

Yes when I purchased, all the reviews on returned units said that the 2nd and 3rd units they got back were still flawed so I didn't bother risking sending it back and getting another bad one. I just lived with it until I finally found this thread. I'm satisfied with the hack job until the next...

Regarding the tape fix for the night vision IR halo effect. I had my wife whip up a black vinyl 10mm ring (inner diameter of opening) for the lense on her Silhouette machine which I think turned out nice. Results of removing the IR reflection is perfect. Thanks for this solution as I have been...

What are you using for encoding? So far I have run mine on h.264+ and highest video quality and cpu use hasn't been too bad.

Any tips on settings for optimal low light performance? I have been impressed so far. Curious if others are using supplemental LED lighting or not. I opted to turn the LED off in favor of ambient lighting.

I can also confirm mine is working on the latest software version.

I have one of these cameras on the way. Very interested in the resolution on this thread.

This seems like it might be an option with good longevity. [emoji1303]

Is anyone else experiencing issues with connecting to their wunderground weather stations? Mine has been unable to connect since this morning and changing stations has no effect. Is it possible something in the wunderground API changed?

Strange! I wonder if the upgrade script could be modified to bypass the support languages error check. Assuming Dahua is using some standard shell scripting language on linux for upgrade functionality.

I think we need a linux guru that could somehow watch what is going on during the upgrade process to find the error in whatever scripting language Dahua is using. I wonder if the error gets logged in a file somewhere with more detail. I have just given up on upgrading that particular camera.

Hi, I'm running version 1.1.0 with blue iris 4.2.9.1 x64 and I recently ran into an overlay issue where the degree symbol (for temperature) shows up as an unknown character with the OCR A overlay font. Is this a blue iris issue?

I appreciate the assistance. Don't brick your camera on my account! :) The older firmware works fine on this newer camera, but I noticed the newer firmware (post 2015) on my older camera helped audio quality and volume and in one case widened the 1080p viewing angle slightly (maybe reduced some...

The current firmware is 2.420.0004.0.R, build : 2014-11-03 I have tried several different newer versions and have attempted update using port 3800 on the config tool in addition to the web interface: On the older 2014 camera any of these will flash fine...

I have 2 HDW4300C cameras. One made in 2014 and one recently purchased made in 2015. The 2014 camera will accept any firmware update file and flashes no problem. The 2015 camera will not update no matter which firmware file is used (NTSC or PAL). It simply says "file mismatch upgrade failed"...

I'm happy to report version 4 solved this issue for me. Clip playback audio is working now.

For my installation I have the following options under blue iris options > audio under the Output section: (Not Specified) Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) Cyberlink Audio Renderer (PDVD9) Default Directsound Device Default Waveout Device DirectSound: Realtek Digital Output (Realtek...
