IP8M-2957E and Software

[gcobb]

I bought this about a week ago and I have read in the forums, read the instructions and still have questions if someone doesn't mind helping. Support was lacking and Blue Iris hasn't responded in 5 days.

I have Blue Iris 5 and used BI 4 previously. I found basic info on setting this camera up with BI Using A5 and it will not get video but you can see the data stream. If I could get that working, my next questions would be moot.

Using Amcrest View Pro I am able to get it set up to record and such, or at least it will send me push notifications. I am unable to see any alert images or videos when I try to Playback because it tells me I am "unauthorized" I am also unable to play videos that I had set up for FTP. In Device Manager both streams are Main. I couldn't get anything to save on my NAS.

Is there an indicator that appears as an overlay or otherwise on the screen to show how long recording occurs?

Why are there regions with 4 colors and motion detection, then motion detection under Push Notifications?

I read the PDF, there are a Lot of things missing from there. Otherwise I am happy with the camera.

Thank you

View Pro:
You must record to SD card or NVR to playback.
Pinch and touch the time line to size or move it to find clip start and end time.

Amcrest Web UI has more camera settings and is best place for setup.
