IP2M-846EB constantly auto focusing

Post by uberspeck »

These cameras auto focus every minute or two for no reason. Very annoying. I have several of them and they all do it. The focus motors are going to wear out at this rate. Any solution for it???

I just purchased two of the IP2M-846B cameras. BOTH of them have this same problem. To be more clear about the issue, what is happening is the cameras are doing a "lens init" every 3½ minutes (exactly).

This is a huge problem as the Lens Init triggers motion detection. I put one of my new cameras up on AmcrestCloud.com and you can see in the history the motion detection triggers like clockwork 17 TIMES AN HOUR. I get email notifications and i am now on notification 519. These cameras are $350 ea and supposed to be Amcrest top-of-the-line indoor PTZ camera so I am quite upset.

I looked on their website for a new firmware and there is NOTHING for the 846, not even an old firmware or any manual.
