Amcrest Forum

The latest ip2m841 firmware is on the website, dated 9/9/2016. It works for me.

Melvin,

Please email to me.

I tried the "new" firmware. It breaks the wifi.

I had the same issues with wrong date and time when receiving email for motion detection. I discovered it was a problem when using the email client Thunderbird. When I switched to Microsoft Mail that resolved the issue. Hope this helps.

Same here. Also, it's definitely not the email client.

I have an IP3M-943. The latest software update still puts an incorrect time offset in the email header. The video time is correct. The latest camera software update has the correct time with the incorrect offset in the email header. It looks like it is not accounting for DST when building the email header. I am in the Eastern US time zone (-0500). Currently the camera email software is using that value instead of the correct -0400 DST offset. Depending on the computer client software it may or may not display the correct value.

I reported this to the crackerjack Amcrest Support group and was told that they would send me an RMA to replace the camera!

For the present time I am ignoring the problem, turning off the camera email, and letting my NAS send me alert emails.

I do like the snapshots that the camera sends with the email alerts. If we live long enough perhaps Amcrest will fix it!

your issue sounds a bit different, they seem to have resolved the one where it was a good couple of hours behind. I'm not using the "EnableDST" setting so I have not seen this myself, my cameras send me the proper time in the email now and my time zone setting is gmt-4

I have the 1080p DVR AMDV108116-S4, firmware version 3.210.AC01.8 and am having this issue. I am in EST -0500 and the timezone on the email is +0800, so the date is 13 hours off. It does not change whether or not I turn on the DST setting or not.

example header:

Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2017 22:28:22 +0800

whereas the message says:

Alarm Event: Motion Detect
Alarm input channel No.: 3
Alarm Start Time(D/M/Y H:M:S): 22/11/2017 22:28:15

Same problem here with NV4116-HS NVR. System Version 3.210.AC02.0, Build Date: 2017-06.13

@Melvin: I have IP2M-841B-EGD-DE with Software Version 2.420.AC00.16.R, build : 2016-09-09 and still the 8hrs smtp problem. Please provide fixing firmware via PM.
