Copy/Paste into Amcrest Web App

Post by thebundok »

Is there any way to enable Copy/Paste in the Amcrest Web App?

I use a password manager to help me with complex (and therefore unrememorable) passwords, but if I input a crazy long, difficult password I'm forced to having to type it in manually (a p.i.t.a.). This has left me trying to make up a memorable and easy to type password, which I don't want to do.

I just want to be able to paste into the password field.

Failing that, is there another application that will allow me to access the backend/setup controls of the camera similar to the Amcrest Web App?

In Windows, use Ctrl-v to paste it in the password field. Use Ctrl-c to copy something in a text field.

Or try Amcrest Surveillance Pro where can add all your cameras and ID/passwords, and never have to enter them. You should have access to all the settings via the WEB icon there, and also the Surveillance Pro interface for many of them.

I know *how* to copy and paste... my problem is that the Amcrest Chrome App doesn't *allow* pasting into the password fields. I want to know if there's a way around this.

Several people have suggested the SeaMonkey browser (since it doesn't require a plugin or app) but even there, the web interface doesn't allow for pasting (not in the password field, not in the username field).

You can't even get a right click dialogue to pop up. Something has been disabled and I want to know how to re-enable it. :p

Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v work for me in IE Amcrest web interface. I just tried it. I don't need a right click popup for copy or paste there.
