Yea no problem. I have 2 Amcrest IP8M-T2499EW-28MM5 and 2 Amcrest IP8M-T2499EW-40MM with plans to add 1 additional IP8M-T2499EW-40MM in the future. All 5 will be 8mp 4k ONVIF cameras.
Honestly all of my camera locations are brightly lit via LED lights throughout the night (all homes in my area were built this way as there's no street lights - new construction/house is only a year old) so they never have to go to night vision mode (though cameras are set to automatically switch to night vision if needed).
Maybe tonight ill manually shut the lights off around my house for a bit and have my kids/dogs run around out there to see if it really changes anything. But from what I recall when doing my research before going with Camect, there weren't many complaints about night time detection.
I was using NEST Cam Outdoor IQs in all of my locations before deciding to try and get rid of the cloud service and going with the Amcrest/Camect combo. I never really had any issues with night time detection on those either (those were 3mp 1080P).
Had mine for a few days and first impressions are “wow”. Eliminates false positives - which is not an easy task. By now, I feel like most of the kinks are worked out. My only concerns are the ability to grow beyond 24MP - but it’s sounds like you can run the code on your own hardware later down the road. I worry about longevity of the company but it’s very impressive thus far.
Also, if you want to add camera snapshots to your dashboard, you can use this to grab a snapshot of each camera. Hopefully the include this as part of the platform vs. needing to run your own middle-man server to make an API request: GitHub - bdwilson/camect-snapshot: Camect Snapshot Proxy
so i got in on camect back when it was on kickstarted and have a life time supcristion. thanks @brianwilson for the alerts im able to bring the camect dashboard into HE ( but only on the local network ) i would really love to get those snapshots over to the dashboard with a 2 sec refresh rate
