Now that IE is gone, how do I log into my IP Cam?

I have an IP2M-841B camera that I am trying to add to my new Synology NAS. However, I can't log into my camera with the Web UI anymore since Internet Explorer has been discontinued. How do we log into the cameras?

I can access my cam's live feed through Surveillance Pro (WIN10) and the Android app.

Can't Connect my IP2M-841B to Synology Surveillance Station

I have just purchased a Synology DS220j NAS and I am trying to add my 2 IP2M-841B cams to Synology's Surveillance Station. I can access my cam's feed through Surveillance Pro on my WIN10 laptops and through the Amcrest View Pro app on my Android phone. When I try to add my camera through the Synolog...

Re: How do I switch WIFI Networks for my IP2M-841 IP Cams?

It works! I basically did a factory reset and got both of my cameras to work. Funny thing is, it works better than it has in years. What I mean is since I got fiber cable, I could never get both cameras to work through the Amcrest app. I was convinced that I had to use a static IP address for the se...

Re: How do I switch WIFI Networks for my IP2M-841 IP Cams?

Before I read your post, I logged in and assigned my camera to the guest network. It worked - sort of. The router (Netgear Nighthawk) shows my Front Door cam as part of the guest network. It kept the IP address of my Front Door cam. The live feed works just fine on my Android Amcrest View Pro app. H...

How do I switch WIFI Networks for my IP2M-841 IP Cams?

I have 2 IP2M-841 IP cameras. To beef up the security of my smart home devices, I've switched them to a 2.4 guest network so that they will be separate from the main wifi network. These cams are the only devices left. How do I switch these to the new network? I had a difficult time setting them up. ...

Login Timed Out - Can't Connect Camera to Amcrest App

I am frustrated! I have 2 Amcrest IP2m-841 cameras. One works fine. I can access it via the app just fine. The other camera I've had for a while and decided to put it in my garage. I'm able to get a live feed it via WIN10, I can sign on and access it through the AMCREST browser add-on. I just can't ...

Re: Timestamp went back to year 2000

This is a defect within this camera. I've replaced my front door camera with a newer version of this camera. It works great. So this problem is caused by some defect in this camera. The defective camera would also occasionally turn on night mode distorting the view. I'm disappointed in this specific...

Re: Camera Doesn't Record Anymore

I replaced the SD card and that seemed to fix it.

Re: Camera Doesn't Record Anymore

I have a second camera (it's been offline temporarily) with a working SD card. Can I just use this one in the functioning camera? Do I need to re-format it?

Camera Doesn't Record Anymore

I have an IP2m-841 camera. It has been monitoring my front door for a couple of years.

Recently, I had tried to playback recorded history. This feature has worked in the past but does not work now.

How do I troubleshoot this? Is the recording media bad?
