I put high-quality SD cards in them, but only 256GB each. My server has 2TB for each camera, and I save the H265 1080p stream. None of it is life and death, but it does give me a little peace of mind. I am very grateful to you for helping me out!

I had just turned on email because I had been unable to get it working for over a year. I turned it off soon after making this post for just the reason you mentioned

I started by reading this thread . However, as with many things IPC-related, I am still unsure. I am using two IP5M-B1276EW-AI cameras and one IP5M-T1277EW-AI.

My ISP does not provide an email account. I can get the configuration to save via the web interface, ...

I had Annke cameras, but returned them because Amcrest was recommended to me on the Blue Iris Reddit for features, quality, and compatibility. So far I am impressed. The Annke cameras did not appear to be poorly built, but these Amcrest cameras (2 × IP5M-B1276EW-AI and 1 x IP5M-T1277EW-AI) are very ...
