I have a few questions for the guys that have been using these for a while. Just received the SD49225T-HN camera yesterday and I would like to set a few things up but I have no idea where to look. I've read through pretty much this whole thread and I think I've seen mention of these things but don't want to read it again to find what exactly was said.
1.) I can't get FTP to work on this. It's an internal FTP through my Asus router. I tried clicking defaults to make sure I hadn't changed anything but still no luck. Any ideas, things others have tried that worked? Saw someone got it to work a few pages back but have no idea what they did or mean by all the seconds. Just a side thought: I have a couple of Amcrest cameras that seem to have almost the exact same firmware with the exception of the IVS and they work fine over FTP with the same settings. I would say the firmware is based on open source or the companies work very very closely together. I was surprised how identical they were.
2.) The camera seems to ignore the event setup. I was getting up to 100's of emails per minute even though I had the anti-dither set to 100. Even after setting defaults to make sure no other setting was sending emails. My email seems to have blocked the app since I haven't gotten another email even on real events since about 1 AM.
2a.) I'm using Sighthound to reduce false positives. It works pretty well. Picks up my dog and couple other things on occasion but for the most part phone stays quiet. Only thing I don't like is that it requires my PC to be on all the time to get notifications and if it locks up or shuts down my house is unprotected. Anyone have any great settings to catch real events and ignore grass moving/shadows shifting slightly type stuff for the most part. I tried 100/40. 80/40 (works pretty good on Amcrest for me). 60/40, 60/60 but like I said it seemed to be ignoring all of the settings and just hammering me with emails regardless.
3.) I'm not sitting in front of the home computer to verify but can you set multiple external alarms based on the IVS tripwires, etc...?
3a.) If so, can you tie the alarm out to the alarm in to have it go to a certain area if certain tripwires are tripped. For example, if someone crosses close to my garage can I zoom on my garage door for a few minutes and have another alarm set to zoom on my car if someone goes near it. Just examples... I know I can have it do one or another or set a tour that bounces between them based on any movement detected but would rather be more focused.
3b.) I was a little disappointed to see you couldn't set a PTZ action based on a specific IVS event. Any secrets here?
4.) Best android application (Nexus 6P) for viewing camera with PTZ controls? I tried gDMSS lite. Should I upgrade to pro? Something else? Any that allow you to set the device up like you were sitting in front of your PC? --- Answered this myself. I can log into the device from my phone using UPNP and gDMSS does support ptz. Just missed it.
5.) Any thoughts on
Blue Iris? I've heard it mentioned a lot but I'm not sure what the specific benefits are for the cost.
6.) This doesn't have an SD-Card slot, correct? I remember seeing posts about removing a panel in this thread but I assume that was in reference to another camera.
Thank you for any help in advance.
