Bumping this again, is there any resolution on this issue? We really should be able to use HTTPS with DDNS from outside of our network. I really don't like sending my credentials in the clear every time I log in. Since it sounds like Melvin is the only support guy here... Melvin, can you please prov...

The company is a joke, as I am now finding out too late. There is one guy, named Melvin, who is doing his best to manage this forum, but it's obvious that his leadership just sent him here as a fall guy. Best of luck to you Mark.

The camera is telling me there is a firmware update from version 8 to 9. However, when I go to this page: https://amcrest.com/firmware I do not see release notes.

Their specs say it's 64GB, but mine seems to use a 128GB card just fine and fill the whole thing up when set to continuous recording. On an 8Mbps stream, that's about 3 days worth.

TheUberOverlord,

Since you are an admin here, are you in touch with the Amcrest team? This firmware release is riddled with severe bugs. Do you know if they'll be fixing it soon?

Thanks.

Can confirm that motion detection is basically disabled, and only continuous recording is allowed. All modifications to the recording schedule page fail to save. How the hell did this get by QA?

Amcrest: Can a site admin please let us know when these bugs will be fixed?
