Project mention: Ask HN: IP cameras that don't require an app or internet | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-23I bought a couple Amcrests just a week ago, and they still operate identically to ones I purchased back in 2017. They have apparently re-branded Dahua's software, since the HTTP APIs are identical, and there are still lots of "Dauha" strings in the configs[0].
I think a lot of the problems with IP cams aren't with the cameras themselves, but the poor state of open-source media players. Getting mplayer, ffplay, or vlc to play nicely with any ipcam has been a Labor of Hercules. If you're using the versions in repos--which are usually quite stale--all bets are off. I've had much better luck using the latest installers, direct from the project websites. So far, VLC seems to work best for me[1].
