Can I add Amcrest cams to IP Cam Viewer Pro App - android

Post by jacknwater »

Just got 2 new amcrest bullet cams for indoors. Adding to the fleet of foscams.
I'd like to add these two in my IP Cam View pro app, keep it all in one.

Is this possible? If so what do i put for "host/ip" address, or where can i find that?
Thanks

Hello jacknwater,

If you want it to work externally , you will have to set up port forwarding for the cameras and then use your public IP or amcrestddns as the host/ip. The port to be used is the TCP port of the Amcrest camera.

Not sure about the Ip cam viewer but we have customers using the app called Tinycam monitor with other brand cams like Foscam. THis app uses the RTSP port of the camera. Please check the below videos.
