Amcrest Forum

You are probibly right. I questioned it as when I got it there is no access to the camera from the browser and i couldn't find any way to connect it to anything but the cloud or the sd. I really don't want to have to take the sd card out all the time and copy the footage off of it either. I have not...

Dang it. The listing on the item said it worked with a nas. My other amcrest cam saves to an FTP that's what i was looking for. I don't want to pay for cloud storage when i have tons of storage right here.

is there a way to have the ASH42 save files to an ftp server? or a network drive?

I have a IP2M-842 and there are times that it randomly becomes inaccessible. For example, the camera has been accessible for over 4 days. Thursday 26/04/2018 20:41:49 was the last time I got a message that there was movement detected. I can't get to the camera via the app, or from my computer. I hav...

I can test the signal strength but i haven't had any issues viewing the video(full resolution 1080p) even viewing from two locations at once. FTP server is on the local network so i don't know that would be any issue. I was able to ftp a 50mb file from my laptop to the local ftp in 5 seconds. I took...

My camera is creating jpegs just fine and saving them to the ftp server i have setup. My problems is that 95% of the videos are truncated .dav_ files. the others are very small .dav files that done really play. they are only a few hundred kb in size. Anyone know how i can fix this?

I seem to be having the same issue as this but mine it every file it writes. They all have .dav_ They seem to be truncated files as most of them are only several k in size where they should be many MB in size. I have had a few that where larger and i could watch the video once i removed the "_&...

It doesn't see an mapped drives only the mac harddrive. i copied a 61mb .dav_ file to my desktop and tried to play it and nothing, nada, zero, no errors blank. EDIT: Ok i copied some files local. i found that if i removed the _ from the end of the file(which i thought was weird) it would play is Sma...

Can smart play not access a network drive on a mac? all that is listed is the hardrive. I want to see video on a network share that i am currently logged into.

Ahhh ok. so the permissions that the gui is referring to local to the viewer? I think i have the scheduling part setup, but i am doing motion detection only so nothing has shown up. Thank you for the help.
