So you like the Reolink Wireless over the Amcrest wireless?

I was looking at the Reolink wireless version too. I wish I could go with a POE version, but running Ethernet would be a huge project to do right.

I've had this camera for several years now. It was a good camera. I think it finally gave up the ghost after facing brutal sun for years and people pressing the wrong "button" to ring the bell. Currently looking for the next thing to replace it. Looking at the Amcrest AD410.

Thank you for mentioning find/inspect! This came up in the box when I ran it. I'll post a screenshot of the setting page also. The find/inspect is what I was missing. The cameras were active in the system, but the additional information didn't become available until I ran that again. Opening...

I'm setting up Blue Iris and I have 20 cameras connected now. I am going through the Wikis on here and have reached the optimization section with substreams. I have some Lorex e891ab cameras connected to BI but I can't find anything to identify the correct paths for the substream. I must be...

I am setting up my BI server and I have the basics sorted for equipment. The only question I keep reading conflicting info on is the type of storage for "New" recordings. Some people on some sites recommend using SSD for new recordings. Others say to just use a surveillance drive. Is anyone...

So, I turned off the breaker and let the battery discharge overnight. I was able to reset the device and I can now access the camera with the EZVIZ app. I reached this stage before. I am still running the Hikvision firmware. I hope the doorbell doesn't continue to lock up. If so, I'll go back to...

My doorbell is locked up. I can't access it in any software and I can't reset it via the button under the faceplate. I'm going digging through the thread now. For the record, I was running EZVIZ firmware fine before trying Hikvision.

That's a neat tool. I'm able to see various settings for the doorbell with the ONVIF Device Manager you shared. Is there anything here I should look for, for something wrong?

I can access the doorbell through the EZVIZ app. I can access the camera/remote configuration in ivms-4200 software. I have reserved the IP in my router and set the IP manually for the DB via remote configuration. I am trying to access the camera through the FlirCloud software and Lorex...

I got the SSID renamed. That was a pain because my computer didn't want to keep the connection. I eventually got past the password issue. The the SSID was EZVIZ_serial# but the password was softap_authcode. That got me through setup but now when I scan my network, I'm not seeing the DB as an...

I tried following this to update my firmware to the latest Hikvision and I'm stuck with an incorrect password. When trying to connect with the EZVIZ app through the wizard or manually. I used ivs-4200 instead of Batch Config. I wish I just left things alone.... gtrrrr

Great idea! Thank you for sharing the pictures. This looks good. I need to do something like this. Our interior cameras are primarily used to check in on our cats. :)

I was thinking about doing something like that but then I thought I would be doing a bit much for the work around. Now you've made me reconsider it. Do you have a picture you can share of your setup?

I have 3 PTZ Amcrest cameras that I am mostly happy with except they are not good at looking down unless they are installed upside down. I am trying to install cameras in less visible places: eg, TV stands, bookshelves, top of kitchen cabinets. I'm just not keen on the idea of installing these...

Thank you. I may play around with that too. I am currently using RTSP with a free channel on my Lorex NVR. It records but it would be nice for the extra features your solution has. Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk

What is it that you need about ONVIF that you can't get from RTSP? I'm curious if I am missing something. Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk

The issue must have been with the Lorex Home app. I didn't change anything on the NVR (settings or firmware). I just checked the firmware version to ensure it wasn't updated automatically and it is the same. As for the differences between the 2 NVRs, there's a huge advantage to the Lorex Home...

Hi guys, I'm not sure where the right place is to put this but I'll start here. I have purchased several Lorex camera kits from Costco and they have been ok. Not as good as would like, but they have been fine enough to try with Costco backing them. The latest set I purchased from Costco was in...

No worries. You are under no obligation to do so. I appreciate you came back to respond! :) Unfortunately, my unit already has a WD Purple HD in it. Of course, my scenario is different from yours as I have a Lorex NVR. I suspect the firmware may be the issue. I've looked into the settings and...

Did you have any luck with this? I'm experiencing the same issues with a Lorex NVR.

Wow. You guys are light years ahead with smart homes. I will be reading up on this stuff. Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk

Alright, I'm a bit new to RTSP vs ONVIF. What is the difference? With the Laview firmware, I was able to connect via ONVIF. The picture quality wasn't that great BUT I was recording to my Lorex NVR. I am running the EZVIZ firmware right now and I connected my NVR to the RTSP. The image quality...

So, I just wanted to add some new information to the thread. David, take it for what is worth. :) I am one of those people that changed the password on my EZVIZ doorbell and activated it using iVMS-4200. It has been written in this thread that you should not do that and that is probably...

Rafale, you rock!!! This worked for me!

I've been busy and haven't had time to troubleshoot anything. My doorbell is currently offline, however, there appears to be this weird behavior that the doorbell becomes active for a short period of time. I'm going to try resetting it.

I read all of the new posts since I last posted. I have the EZVIZ DB1 with LaView firmware installed. When I was here last, everything was functioning normally and I was recording to my Lorex NVR. The video quality was on the NVR wasn't as good as viewing it through the EZVIZ app, but at least...

Does that change some of the collective info we have?
