    App quality of doorbells and dual BI/app mode

    I have an Amcrest AD410 integrated with BI, and use the doorbell app in conjunction. Works well, no complaints other than the inability to customize the 410’s settings, which seems to be the case more most doorbells.

    Cloned cameras

    @TonyR no, that was for a separate issue I was having where once I hid the clone, the alert/clip would not be shown in the list to review. Reference this issue, I have temporarily fixed the “no video available” issue by enabling recording for the clone upon trigger only. This has allowed me to...

    Cloned cameras

    Hi all, I've cloned a few cameras to set up different trigger zones that would immediately alert me if someone enters a certain part of my property. I disabled all recording on these cloned cameras to avoid duplicating video and wasting storage space. I selected the original camera as the...

    Break time- Max trigger alert duration

    @quest100 I've created clones of each, which are working. However, linked alerts do not play any video, only show an image in the alert list. I did not enable recording on any of the profiles with the clone cameras- do I have to enable recording with each clone camera in order for an alert to...

    5.8.2 - December 12, 2023

    Holy cow- since doing this update my audio alerts have been through the roof as compared to before (audio alerts were enabled then, too). Disabled for now, until I can get the settings squared away. Picking up a lot of wind noise alerts when gunshots or breaking glass at night are what’s intended.

    Break time- Max trigger alert duration

    @The Automation Guy appreciate it. Do you know if that trumps the “end trigger within x seconds” setting (the setting that goes along with it) if max trigger time is set below that threshold? I’d assume so, but don’t want to mess anything up.

    Break time- Max trigger alert duration

    I'm concerned about, for example, if a car drives past my home and triggers BI to send an alert, I'll get an alert that shows a vehicle driving by. Now, if a subject immediately exits that vehicle and comes on my driveway checking doors, since it's still within the time frame of that original...

    What to do with extra HDD when upgrading storage

    Good idea. Will writing to two drives increased CPU usage? also, will I need some type of connector for the optical bay HDD, or does the optical bay use the same was the HDD?

    What to do with extra HDD when upgrading storage

    I need to bump my video drive storage from 4tb to 8tb with a new WD Purple drive. However, the 4tb still works just fine and I don’t exactly want to just throw it aside and not use it. Any way I can incorporate the 4tb into my BI system after installing the 8tb? PC is an HP Prodesk 600 G1

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    Calls worked, got the iFrame to 1... BUTTT Holy cow- messed with sharpness in Amcrest Pro and that messed the picture up big time- so noisy could barely make anything out. Factory reset and reinstall got it going again. Slightly disappointing. Also, noticed WDR (turned on through the Amcrest...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    You're absolutely right, thanks @GaryOkie ! Side note, to do the API calls to change the iFrame and remove Amcrest logo, do I just input those URLS into, like, Chrome or something? Unfamiliar with all that.

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    My AD410 with date 5/22 has no IR glare, just info. Just received today. I feel lucky, but sorry to others who are still having issues. Also, does anyone else notice that the video frame in BI is perfectly square? My AD110 was rectangular.

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    I currently have an AD110 and would like to eventually upgrade to the 410. My 110 was basically just plug and play with BI on a PC, is this not the case for the 410?

    Delay- 3D Push notifications

    My IOS push notifications for BI app have been taking forever to come in, and also not including the 3D rich push notification picture that I wanted. This is whether I am at home or connected through the VPN away from home. I just turned off 3d rich notifications (alert image) and now my push...

    Riddle me this. What did I do?

    I use Google Remote Desktop. Took like 2 minutes to set up and works flawlessly, even from an iPad. Highly recommend and can’t believe it took me so long to do a Remote Desktop feature- so convenient.

    On a 1/1.8" Sensor, 2MP or 4MP

    I bet! Wonder why they’re so pricey- low demand because everyone is chasing pixels?
