    Amcrest IP8M-T2669EW-AI event setup

    I have several IP8M-T2669EW-AI cameras. I have played with the event setup quite a bit but they sometimes trigger and record almost continuously. 20 to 30 files a day. Human and vehicle are enabled. I do want the full field covered. What is needed to make them stop triggering for every tiny...

    Low Rez when connecting to the BI service

    I have BI installed as the only app running on an I7-3770. It looks great when viewing cameras from the attached monitor. The cameras look great when viewing with Amcrest Surveillance Pro. The cameras look great with a direct connect. When I connect to the BI web service they look much lower...

    New to BI

    I just installed BI on a Third Gen I7 and it runs great. With one camera streaming and a remote connection CPU is at 30%. If it works out I will upgrade the PC. Local network connection with a browser works fine. Are management and setup options limited unless you are on the console? I...

    Has anyone compared the performance of the Fire Cube vs Nvidia Shield for running Tinycam Pro? In theory the Nvidia should be much better but it also costs twice as much. Thanks

    Hot Cameras?

    I just started playing with an Amcrest IP8M-T2669EW-AI It seems to run on the warm side. Indoor with a room temp of 75F it runs at 100F at idle. (measured on housing surface) Frightening to think just how hot it will run with outdoor temps in the 110 to 120 range. Is this to be expected from a...

    Amcrest Camera Live Feed Delay

    I just installed an Amcrest IP8M-T2669EW-AI camera. Everything seems normal except there is a long delay (20-30 seconds) on the live feed on both the web interface and Blue Iris. i.e if you walk past the camera it shows up on the live feed 30 seconds later. Its a small network with very little...

    Fire Stick with Amcrest or Dahua?

    Tonight I was experimenting with Firestick Browsers, Silk and Firefox with an Amcrest IP8M-T2669EW-AI. I was able to login with Silk but the frame rate was about one frame every 10 seconds. The Firefox browser asks you to install a plug-in but then locks with a 404 error. Is there a decent way...

    AI and Amcrest Questions

    Is there any advantage to an AI camera stand alone without an NVR or Blue Iris? For home use where would be the best locations for AI cameras? My understanding is that the Amcrest NVR only supports viewing of only two AI cameras at a time. Are they worth the extra cost? Also, I have compared...

    Has anyone compared the power consumption costs of running a dedicated NVR vs a Windows PC 24 hours a day? I could not find the power stats for an Amcrest 5 series NVR.

    NVR Questions

    I have been comparing the homeowner grade stuff for a while. Lorex, Amcrest, Reolink and Dahua. For the NVR's they give you some features but very little in specs and all seem about the same. Does one stand out above the others? Does a 16 port have more processing power or memory than an 8...
