AD110 Amcrest Doorbell - Focus Distance Issue
Hi, all, just added an AD110 to my growing collection of Amcrest/Dahua cameras. Interesting concern that I haven't been able to find online. It appears my unit's focus depth is stuck in macro/shallow. For viewing anything from two inches (50mm) to six inches (150mm) from the camera lens, the... -

Amcrest camera motion detection event not triggering in BI5!

This way BI doesn't have to crank CPU usage when the camera can trigger a motion alert on its own. I have an Amcrest 8MP PoE outdoor 4K turret...- hoodwatcher

New Camera IP Issues?
I'm kind of at a loss at where to go with this camera (ip5m-t1179ew-28mm). For some reason the camera will not recieve a DHCP address on my vlan 10 network (192.168.10.1-255). I know for a fact the vlan is working, can route where I need it to, and get DHCP because I have a set of 10 devices...- athornfam2

How to fully reset Amcrest IP8M-2496E
I have 3 IP8M-2496E cameras. They're all behaving differently even with same configuration. Is there a way to fully reset the camera? Apparently soft and hard reset doesn't do it. I "think" the irreversible change happened when I had an Amcrest NVR and it configured the camera. I've since... -

Can I rotate video in Blue Iris if I mount this cam on the ceiling ? Amcrest 4MP UltraHD Indoor WiFi Camera
Hi all, Just wondering if I purchase this Amcrest camera that is supposed to sit on a surface like a table, if I can use BlueIris to rotate the video feed 180 degrees while watching the live feed.

Dahua HDW5832R-ZE, Amcrest MT2544EW, Lorex LBE8974
Can anyone tell me the real difference between the Dahua HDW5831R-ZE and the Amcrest MT2544EW and the Lorex LNE8974? Other than IV features, is the Dahua better? Does the Dahua produce a better image? Why does the Lorex have so much more IR range? It is real range or are they padding the specs?- Nuwwave
