How to Change Camera Name

Post by gregh »

Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW
Windows 11

I am in Web View and the Live feed shows "IPC" in the lower left corner. I changed the TCP/IP Host Name to Cam1 and clicked refresh. Nothing changed. Web View still shows IPC as camera name and Blue Iris also picks up IPC as the name.

Is the camera name set by the TCP/IP Host Name? What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks,
Greg

Correction: I am in IP Camera Web Access. (Cameras are on a VLAN and not allowed to reach the internet.)

Some cameras might have it called OSD others Overlay. Either way the area would be WebUI, Setup/Configuration Camera, Video. Then in the top of the screen for the camera would be some Tabs in there *my case Overlay* then Title... See picture below.

Thank you, @Revo2Maxx. I don't believe I would have found it without your direction.
