Re: App reverts to CH1 when phone orientation is rotated

You won't like my Answer! LOL.
In short, There is a known bug within the Pixel phones where the Rotate isn't working (Google issue not Amcrest issue) my guess and only a guess is in order to get the rotate to work within an app they have to refresh the app as if it was just started up. Now there are others ways of doing that where it would have kept the camera in view however my guess is that it was tried that way and didn't work so they had to do it as if it was closed and re-opened.. Please understand this would be almost seamless and more then likely would not even notice other then it being on the wrong camera..
How I came to my conclusion? The only way the view would ever go back to ch1 or First camera is a stack is if the App is Closed and re-opened, because if you just put the app in the background and open the app back up it will be at the last camera you were looking at. However if the app is closed out and not in the background but closed the next time the app opens it starts in Ch1 or at the first choose camera in your listing for devices.
