    Getting duplicate push notifcations

    Okay blueiris gurus, I'm sure one of you knows the quick answer..I'm getting dual motion detection push notifications on my cameras. Driving me nuts with my phone going off that much (already getting too many motion detections as is with the wind blowing). They are instant so for sure duplicate.

    No blue iris at this location. I am running wireless via the amcrest view pro app. There are a few wireless devices here yeah. It's fiber, 1000/1000

    Dang. I figured since I can watch it live perfectly the storage was the issue. Changed SD cards, still just fails

    Hey all - I'm looking for a good camera to check in on my dog while I'm away, he stays in one room. I don't have or plan to use blue iris at this location, so I need something standalone that works well. I tried this amcrest...

    Brotha! I cant thank you enough. Both the IE workaround allowed me to install a plugin, which enabled me to view/edit my new Dahua camera so I could add it, and it seems deleting the update fixed the frame issue. I owe you.

    Yeah I did a completely fresh windows format when I got the dell. The amcrest cameras worked perfectly since day one until I checked them this morning. Will update you when I get on location to reset / unplug router.

    Negative. I will give that a try though here shortly. Curious though, why would that make the cameras change frame rate?

    I can see the cameras, the feed IS working, but its ridiculously choppy and laggy

    Okay, I excluded my HDD. Resetting now. However I feel like that wouldn't explain why the cameras worked fine for several weeks and now all of a sudden they are extremely slow

    No, the issue is happening on the BI tower itself, both natively and remote. ALL cameras got the same issue overnight. Cameras and PC are on the same switch. Nothing is connected to the router except the switch. Yes, video storage is on HDD and the OS and db folder are on my boot ssd.

    20 fps, h264, sub streams on, direct encoding, BI setup is in my signature. 2tb WD drive. I mean, I understand learning curves for new software, but the fact that I changed zero settings or hardware and overnight it went from perfectly smooth to almost unusable.. why!!!!

    Can you even get Internet explorer anymore? I'll try the hard reset, I only did it for like 15 seconds until the IR lights went off and reset

    Oh GREAT another problem. I found a IPC-T54IR-AS on facebook used for $90 10 minutes away and went and picked it up. Plugged it in, intialized it, switched network IP and the camera GUI browser loaded up, but im unable to click on anything. The video feed doesnt load, the menu kind of loads...

    No I didnt figure out how to change the adapter.. I was supposed to plug it into the camera right? I couldnt see it anywhere. And also - wow this empire is quite a bit more crisp than those amcrests. I would hope so for almost triple the cost ;)

    I reset the camera. I open IPconfig, initialize Dahua camera with a password, try to edit the IP to what you guys provided me and I just get this error. No way to find the IP or change it it seems. The USB > Ethernet just arrived, I plugged it in but not sure how to edit the IP using it either

    I just ordered the USB adapter, only $9 will be here tomorrow. The dual NIC is interesting, I actually do have a PCI ethernet card as well as the onboard motherboard ethernet..
