Amcrest's video tamper detection is a security feature designed to alert users if someone attempts to interfere with or obstruct the camera's view. Essentially, it notifies you if the camera is being tampered with.
Here's a breakdown of what video tamper detection entails within the context of Amcrest cameras:
- Purpose: The primary purpose is to detect and alert you to potential malicious activity, such as someone trying to disable the camera, block its view (e.g., covering the lens), or move it.
- Functionality: When enabled, the camera monitors for changes in the video feed that could indicate tampering.
- Notification: If tampering is detected, the camera can send notifications to the user, often through the Amcrest app or via email. These notifications will alert the user to investigate the situation.
Therefore, if you're using an Amcrest camera, enabling video tamper detection will help ensure that you are notified if anyone attempts to compromise the camera's functionality or field of view. This adds an extra layer of security by informing you of potential threats.
