Hi friends,
I had been recording on SD Card. But I've encountered too many corrupt files and disk errors!
So I ponied up and I've just subscribed to a continuous recording plan on Amcrest Cloud.
But the error "The camera has cloud recordings disabled." appears at the bottom of the live view at https://www.amcrestcloud.com/timeline
So I figured I need to go back into my camera setup.
I'm in Storage > Destination > and I changed the path from SD Card to FTP.
Then, in the FTP tab, I check the Enable box and I need to supply and IP address. What should this be?
Amcrest Cloud: "The camera has cloud recordings disabled."
Re: Amcrest Cloud: "The camera has cloud recordings disabled."
There nothing in FTP or SD card if you don't have FTP disable FTP and down to Cloud Storage 2 more icons under Destination is the icon you want to click on and then it will have you log into your cloud storage from that when you click on cloud. Then you put in the SN for the Camera on the cloud for that camera then it will have you finish the setup for being connected..
Just be mind full that the cloud if you make a ajustment it don't like it will change it back to what it does in the Encoding and also remember it is best to make the changes in the cloud not the camera..
Or just make sure you make changes in the cloud once you make the change in the Camera also in the camera logs in the past anyway the cloud will do changes and have nothing as admin or system being the person doing the change it will be blank..

I've attempted both ways and neither work. Nothing appears on the "on-screen display" however I am getting the MDs.Revo2Maxx wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 10:01 am There nothing in FTP or SD card if you don't have FTP disable FTP and down to Cloud Storage 2 more icons under Destination is the icon you want to click on and then it will have you log into your cloud storage from that when you click on cloud.

Re: Amcrest Cloud: "The camera has cloud recordings disabled."
To clarify the above - I have a WiFi camera that comes on-line with no problems. Then my POE bullet configured correctly but would not have the on-screen display. The turret nothing. I have a 4 camera continuous plan and would absolutely love this process to be flawless and I'll pay.
I submitted a ticket to have it addressed.

To answer your question - you need an FTP server. One can most definitely setup a double "honeypot" and then install the server. Why so-because you don't want a damn bot to get into your network. Ports have to be opened and you don't want that.JParker wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 8:49 am Hi friends,

The other option is to purchase yet another cloud based ftp account. They will provide the needed information.

Next steps for me - re-flash firmware and try cloud storage again

This answer is not at all clear to me. Can someone please explain why my camera is no longer recording in the cloud. It was fine up until about a month ago. Now, I get the following message.
