Amcrest Forum

That is sad, @markplewis. It'd be nice to have a non-plugin html5 version of the camera interface by now. I guess they've abandoned that ideal in favor of the premium cloud streaming...

Mark, it seems like you're suggesting Amcrest can log into our cameras and update the firmware. If so, that's unsettling. Melvin, I would think that's not possible. Can you offer some insight please? Sorry for the delay in reply... All I can say is that my camera magically started working properly ...

I'd also like to chime in that this is a dealbreaker for me buying any more amcrest cameras.

in the new camera setup, add device by ethernet, the wifi select network dialog is broken in the latest Android Oreo. It will accept a wifi password, but not a SSID. It previously worked fine last month in Android N on my Google Pixel XL. I'm trying the PC setup software now to see if that will help...

interesting, thanks! I'm glad the alert settings worked. i'm happy to be informed of these attempts, the content of the alert just looks more like a successful attack than a thwarted one!

Last night I got this email alert from my cam that looks like it's logging illegal access to my storage from a China IP address. I'm looking for clarification on if this means my camera has been hacked/compromised. If Amcrest software can alert me to it isn't there something they can do to instead b...

I agree DavidN. To add to the observed "changelog", i also see there are new options for popular service providers in the Settings > Network > SMTP (Email) menu. I didn't try any of them since i already had mine setup. It also looks like my amcrest DDNS settings were disabled by the firmwa...
