Amcrest Forum

The APP doesn't look right on a 4k monitor. Text labels are cut off. Buttons are tiny as ants. If you're selling 4k cameras, at least test your software on a 4k monitor!!!

Thanks. So that will confirm that it will not Name the ASH21 or the ASH47 as I have both cameras and they are Smart Home Devices. My guess is that the Naming part of the Presets are part of the WebUI (Built in Server) on a normal IP camera. The ASH line being a Smart Home Product don't have a built...

The default user name and password are admin/admin. For ASH21, you must use the Amcrest Home app, to set it up. There's also a reset on the camera if you mess up the password. Good luck!

Glad the advice worked. But In some cases, which are rather bewildering, the contrast has a big difference in how the cameras "interpret" light. For example, if you have a bright spot somewhere, your camera may think it's bright outside, even though it's sitting in the dark.

The problem is not with the cameras, but the settings/options. In ASP, you need to click the Mic/Speaker button for each camera, also check the audio devices (Right click the speaker icon in Windows 10, click Open Sound Settings, Microphone)

Thank you for all of your replies. Seems like you've been dealing with Amcrest for a while. I'll take a different approach here and let you know if I find something.

The home app (press the flag icon) gives you a weird odometer style interface...

I think it has a server, just no WebUI interface. (this is tentative, I'm playing with the Dahua SDK API right now). I'm not using any DVRs, just the micro SD card and the software that I wrote myself to interface with the cams. Ash is a different breed. It's not like your IP-whatever cams.

Ash21 is the camera I'm using. Thank you for your reply. Newest firmware. The presents do save, but not the labels. Kind of a hassle to remember them

To reproduce. Create Preset (Edit, write description, Save), Exit application. Launch application. The label is lost. Sometimes it's lost while switching to other cams, without exiting. Version 2.003.0000001.0
