Amcrest app and PTZ preset

Post by flyboy320 »

Using the 1080p ProHD wifi camera I have been able to use the web interface and set several preset PTZ positions. Is there is an option within the android app to go to a preset PTZ position?

Also in my previous Foscam software, you could call the presets by name, ex. door, driveway, road, etc. Can you do this with the Amcrest cameras, or does it have to be a number 1,2,3, etc.?

Hello flyboy320,

Yes you can call the presets on the app- Amcrest View Pro. On the live view interface on the app, you need to click on the PTZ icon and then click on the icon that looks like a "flag'. To go to preset enter the number on the right most column and click go.

Only the numbering system is available right now.

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to set a preset in the Amcrest View app (iPhone). Can any one help me?

Hello and Welcome to the Forum @jwirttekky

Sadly this to has me puzzled. As far as I know there is no where in the app to setup a Preset you can go to a Preset just not save one...

So to save a Preset you will want to access your NVR or DVR if you have the camera connected to one or you can do it over the cameras WebUI on the address of the camera...
Be Safe.
