Amcrest Forum

When I received emails about new plug-in free FW, I was very excited to soon have a FW that didn't require an outdated plugin or partially functional Amcrest webview app in Chrome, but after stumbling on this thread, I think I'll stick with the old FW for a while.

The lack of a viable means to configure cameras is a joke. Safari doesn't work. Firefox doesn't work. IE doesn't work. The Chrome plugin used to work ok, but now its problematic for adjusting the motion detection region. The IE Tab app in Chrome looks like security risk. I bought my IP3M-943 two yea...

I am quite disappointed by the lack of software and firmware development for Amcrest IP cameras as well. Seems quite unacceptable to have to use a soon-to-be obsolete version of Firefox to access my Amcrest IP camera.

Contrast change can be from any possible source, e.g., actual motion, lights being turne...

I also vote for Chrome support. It has become my preferred browser, and I see no reason why it shouldn't be possible to provide live video feed.
