Amcrest Forum

I sent an email to Amcrest back in May asking about their plans to address KRACK, and all I got were evasive non- responses. Basically they have no plans to fix anything. Their lofty goal statements about their noble purpose and values are pure BS. They compete on price only. Everything else (securi...

My android app works fine when I default all the port settings and disable UPnP. However, if you want to access the cams via https, I've found it necessary to activate port forwarding in the router to the https port. But with https enabled, I've found that viewing on android becomes sluggish. Maybe ...

I determined a fix! As I noted in previous posts, it is helpful to disable the noise filter.

I think I figured out how to stop this while enabling audio alarms. But what might be real audio alarms are labeled "Tamper" alarms in the email. I feel like I'm playing whack-a-mole testing this device. Rest easy. There is a simple fix. Disable the noise filter. Refer to my post earlier ...

If the IP changes via DHCP then you would have to be port forwarding to a moving target. The Linksys WRT1900AC router has the capability to reserve (permanently a...

Yes! The culprit is the noise filter. Disable it:

Thanks for the response. Even when I disable motion detection on the app, I continue to receive alerts. Any other tips?

Try unchecking ALL of the audio alert options. Simply unchecking the "Enable" box is not sufficient.
