Amcrest Forum

I would make a Ticket with Amcrest support and maybe they will need to make an update that corrects this issue. Because of how it is being detected not sure how they would get the same details unless they are willing to install Pi-Hole.. But maybe just some data from your ticket with what your NVR ...

Just an update, I did a factory reset on my NV4216-EI. I did nothing but the HTTP setup and I still get requests to PIHole (DNS address provided by DHCP) for the default "Mailserver" every 6 seconds. And my config export/restore failed so I get to do all the setup again manually ... After ...

Just for grins, I blocked "mailserver" in both PiHoles. That stopped the traffic to the second PiHole and changed the query to primary to every 3 seconds with 0.0.0.0 returned.

Sorry just trying to help.. I guess have to ask, Did you buy this NVR new or used? If you bought used have you done a Factory Reset on the NVR. Once you installed the new FW hat is on the NVR now did you do a Facotory Reset? If you bought used even if said to be NOS, and even if it was at the area ...

This is the system config -- Latest firmware


This is the mail tab in the network config


This is the pihole status

Most of my AI enabled cameras have Motion turned off

Problem is that the AI features don't seem to work at night. Daylight? Works good. Night? Nothing. I know that cars go by, but no triggers with the AI.

Another new lesson. If you have AI or partially AI enabled cameras, you may still want conventional motion detection or smart motion detection overnight. I disabled motion detection by setting the sensitivity to zero but left all my motion detection zones unchanged. During the day tripwire or incurs...

If you are setup with NVR I would go to storage record then on sub channel change from off to manual, it will record full time on sub channel and can playback to see if your system missed something on ivs. Will record full time with out it being setup in schedule. If you have to have Main channel r...

I think a LOT of the noise is the thin metal of the case. I have been thinking about putting sound deadening material like dynamat on my unit. The motion of the disk is amplified by the vibration of the thin metal case.
The Amazon basics car sound deadening material is pretty cheap.
