Amcrestview

Post by rmayo »

Amcrestview shows that it can display multiple cameras. When I click on the 4 camera view, it lets me select 1 camera. How do I select additional cameras?

I realize that surveillancepro may be a better fit, but for some reason it won't communicate P2P with 2 of my cameras and amcrestview and android app work fine, except for the multi-camera view. I've been trying to figure out why that is, but getting Amcrest support to respond on that issue has been a dead end. Does BlueIris support Amcrest P2P?

Select 4 blank live view (ie: start over) Double tap on empty image. It will go to full screen. Then tap on the full screen and select the first camera from the device list and select live view. Image should now appear in that panel of the 4 blocks. Then double tap another blank panel. It will zoom to full screen. Then tap again and select another camera. If you get a warning "already selected" when you are putting the same one on again which causes problems.

Works for me, iPhone, Amcrestview 3.40.0068 build 2018-4-26

[EDIT] I have 4 amcrest and 2 zmodo on blueiris, works just fine. See my earlier post. I also had that idiotic ADT pulse camera also on blueiris but it kept phoning home and changing its password so I junked it (the ADT camera)

I believe you need a NVR to see multiple views on amcrestview.com. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7XCx6joihY&t=66s

Try these videos for Amcrest Surveillance Pro device adding to see if they help.

If you have to move away from P2P:

Blue Iris does not support Amcrest P2P.

You could also try using Windows Amcrest Web UI if you haven't done it. Change your Windows Settings default browser to Internet Explorer and use this guide.
