Re: Connecting to wifi extender?

I would not recommend using bridge mode, I did it on my Comcast router and it knocked out my WIFI. I had to format my router and start all over. When I say start all over, I mean even further back than Comcast setup the router before they gave it to you! It took me a few hours before I got everythin...

Re: camera goes offline constantly

Update 2: I'm still having issues with the cameras dropping out on occasion. One thing that I started doing was logging onto my router and looking at signal strength for these static IP addresses. That's where I discovered that my backyard camera, although is only 20' from the router, is a -95db. Th...

Re: camera goes offline constantly

Update: my brother switched to RING cameras so he gave me his 2M wifi camera. This camera has worked flawlessly for years at his house. I installed it at my house, 3 days later it went offline! Same symptoms, cycle power and it comes back! This tells me that the issue has to be with my network. I cu...

Re: camera goes offline constantly

I have owned 2m wireless cameras for about 3 years, they’ve NEVER stayed online more that 2 weeks since I’ve owned them! I’ve worked with tech support since new and no resolution. After one of my cameras crapped out completely, they said basically, too bad. These cameras are junk, I’m sorry that I b...

2m wireless camera with video breaking up

One of my cameras is no further than 40' from my wireless hub. It has worked well for the last month, but now the video is broken up and blocky. It comes and goes, but not sure why it's doing it, it started when the weather got colder. The antenna is line of sight with the exception that it's mounte...

Re: Why doesn't Amcrest IP work on my IPad? What does video detect keep resetting to Default?

I tried it on my PC and it is more functional than on IPad and yes, needs more functionality. That being said, should I just clear all zones in the other program and it will have no ill effects on the operation?

Re: Why doesn't Amcrest IP work on my IPad? What does video detect keep resetting to Default?

The detection area in Amcrest Cloud seem to be useless, i have a big square and a small square and 2 adjustments, that's it. I see no live picture or see any way to blank out trees blowing in the wind unless this is yet another IPad compatibility.

Why doesn't Amcrest IP work on my IPad? What does video detect keep resetting to Default?

Amcrest Pro and Amcrest Cloud both work normally on my IPad and smartphone. These programs also work on my laptop, Amcrest IP Config works only in Firefox on my laptop but not in I.E or on my IPad. The status shows that I'm connected when using the Ipdad, but I get no live picture and can't make par...

Why do I get a notification when switching to night mode?

Every time the IR comes on I get an email. Is there a way to fix this? Is this an adjustment?

Re: Camera not showing up in IP Config

I have the same issue. In IP Config, when using Safari on my Ipad, or IE on my laptop, I get no live picture in IP config. There is no app for IP Config in the app store, but I know by going to the IP address, I'm in the program. My camers sits on 10.0.0.14. If I use Foxfire on my laptop, everything...
