Amcrest IPM-721 PTZ issue

Hey Ben,

I recently upgraded the firmware on this camera, firmware notes here:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/amcrest-files/Firmware/Changelog/IP2M-841_IP2M-721_Changelog_3-22-17.txt

Before the firmware update I was able to hit the number keys 1 thru 5 on the keyboard to move the camera to some presets I had setup. Those don't work anymore. Even using the PTZ slideout I need to click the preset numbers twice for the camera to move. Clicking once does nothing.

I'm using the Amcrest profile in SecuritySpy 4.1.2

No big deal as the double-click does work on the presets but being able to quickly move the camera with the keyboard numbers was awesome.

If you need more info let me know.

  • This is not something we've heard of before, it sounds like it could be a bug in the camera's latest firmware update.

    If you press the number key on the keyboard twice, does this have the same effect?
  • Number key twice doesn't work. Odd eh!
    I'm going to test a few more things to see if I can shake it. Firmware has def. introduced something. I'll try a factory reset of the camera and then re-set the PTZ zones...
  • Heads up to anyone that may stumble on this issue. Firmware V2.420.AC00.18.R 5/21/17 has fixed this double-click issue.

    cheers,
