I end up sending an email message over to me when events occur. I ended up using this method to see the event. It would be nice to see a little 'spike' or something in the video timeline when there's an event that triggers. My email method isn't perfect, but it works. I was just hoping...

I have a couple of Amcrest IP8M-T2499EW which I reflashed to the Dahua firmware to make them something like the IPC-HDW4831EM. I have them configured to constantly write to a samba share on my server. On the samba share, I have .dav and .idx files that are written by the cameras. I've used...

I upgraded my IP8M-T2499EW cameras last year and things have been working out well. I've recently had an issue with temporary files and was wondering if I'm running the latest firmware. Doing some searches, it looks like there may be an upgrade, but that version sounded unstable. The version...

I have an Amcrest IP8M-T2499E running the Dahua firmware DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_NP_Stream3_V2.800.0000014.0.R.191203. It's been working fine for about a year, but I've recently started seeing an issue. I have it setup to it logs to a nas/samba share. On the samba share, I have the root...

To give a little insight into my setup... I have a Linux samba share setup and have the cameras configured so they write the video files to the SMB share. I'm running SmartPSS on my workstation that has the connection back to that samba share. I actually did check out the classic video...

Hi! I'm using SmartPSS and would like to play content back from my NAS. I have everything setup in SmartPSS, but the playback function is extremely slow. Over a wired connection it works a bit better, but it's still pretty slow. Doing a packet capture, I see that SmartPSS is actually playing...

Thanks for the responses. When first starting out, it's almost information overload with everything to consider. Camera brands, who rebrands which cameras, mounts, styles, nvr's, etc. The cliff notes does a good job but maybe I just missed it. I did know about the external IR illuminators...

I'm just getting started with security cameras and have chosen the IP8M-T2499EW as my first camera. I have no clue what I'm doing and trying to read up about the functions and things that it can do. One thing that's a bit of a turn-off is that in pitch black, I can visibly see a red led/light...
