    No Home Position after Reboot IP2M-841B-V3

    I think I can do without P/T an Z. Ideally it would be like a blink mini 2: small, black, weather resistant, 5V-supply, WiFi but instead of a cloud connection it should have ONVIF and RTSP and should be capable of FTP-uploads of event-triggered clips. For redundancy reasons beside the 3...

    No Home Position after Reboot IP2M-841B-V3

    Well, I assumed that protected outdoor operation is not much different from indoor operation. I have an IP2M-841B-V3 in the garage (same production date as the sticky one) that also undergoes all the temperature and moisture changes, but that still looks quite good. So - as you already...

    No Home Position after Reboot IP2M-841B-V3

    Thank you. The post you referred to deals with an older version of the IP2M-841B. The IP2M-841B-V3 has a different board and there I see no battery. I now have disassembled the camera, cleaned it, cleaned also the flat flex connector of the cable that goes up into the camera head, then...

    No Home Position after Reboot IP2M-841B-V3

    I can't remember having seen a CMOS battery when I did surgery on my IP2M-841B-V3.

    No Home Position after Reboot IP2M-841B-V3

    I got 3 cameras IP2M-841B-V3. Two of them go to PTZ preset 1 (or close to it) after e reboot, the 3rd goes anywhere, not where I like it to go. So it always needs to be repositioned. Am I correct that preset 1 is supposed to be the home position? I cannot find anything about it in the manual...

    Looking for an outdoor version of Amcrest IP2M-841B-V3

    What a nice idea! :thumb: ... especially as I live in Mainz, right in the middle between Siegen and Ravenstein-Oberwittstad. :)

    Looking for an outdoor version of Amcrest IP2M-841B-V3

    Meanwhile I thought I could replace the blurry cam under the roof overhang with the one in my garage, that still shows a good image. After 20 minutes on a 4 meter ladder this was done and after cleaning the lens of the camera, most of the blur (if not all) is gone. Anyway it is good enough for...

    Looking for an outdoor version of Amcrest IP2M-841B-V3

    Problem with Amcrest is, they are not represented in Germany. 4 years ago, I had to order the IP2M-841B-V3 in the US. :rolleyes:

    Looking for an outdoor version of Amcrest IP2M-841B-V3

    Thank you. Ethernet is available and preferred. WiFi might work as well. No NVR. The camera observes the house door and sends clips to the NAS, when motion is detected. For occasional instant views I use the Onvier app or the PC browser. The IP2M-841B-V3 already has a slightly too wide view...

    Looking for an outdoor version of Amcrest IP2M-841B-V3

    I have an Amcrest indoor camera IP2M-841B-V3 mounted outside under the roof overhang. There it is protected from sun and rain, nevertheless the image got blurry after 4 years. So I'm looking for an replacement. It should have all the same features as my IP2M-841B-V3 (no cloud, RTSP, FTP, PT(Z)...

    All my 3 IP2M-841B-V3 stopped recording

    Thank you for your ideas. DST time change is on the last Sunday in March here, so next sunday. I checked the time anyway and the cams and the NAS are running the same time.

    All my 3 IP2M-841B-V3 stopped recording

    I noticed this morning, that all my 3 IP2M-841B-V3 stopped recording at the beginning of March within a period of about one week. They all upload pictures and videos via ftp to my NAS. That used to work reliably for years. I gave each cam a reboot and meanwhile each cam has created a folder...

    Amcrest dies after switching to IR?

    Late reply ... but do you have a micro SD card in that cam? I had similar problems an it turned out that it was by a corrupt SD card. Once removed, camera was fine.

    ip2m-841ew alternative

    Not what you asked for but ...: Three years ago I replaced my no longer supported Hootoo Cams with three Amcrest IP2M-841-V3. I use the Onvier App for occasional live view and ftp clips to the NAS when motion is detected. Retrieving the clips is cumbersome and takes time. Then on Amazon Prime...
