Amcrest View Pro

Latest update broke playback feature. I am unable to view anything past 1:00 in the afternoon. Update: 4/2024 I replaced my NVR and it fixed the playback issue. Now after the latest update I can't edit the camera schedules for push notifications. The app crashes when you try to edit the time. Hopefully this will get fixed with another update. The cameras work great. I have installed around 50 of them at multiple locations with only a couple failures over several years.

I had a lot of trouble trying to connect the cameras from an extender system to a mesh system. I did a hard boot on the router and created a mesh system with the extender. I tried way too many tries to co next the two amcrest cameras. I had no trouble switching wifi 120 volt plugs over, reconnecting 3 android phones, a Tablo DVR, 3 Smart TVs, and a PC. But finally, I uninstalled the Amcrest View Pro app & and reinstalled the app. Set both cameras up in about 5 minutes. All is well that ends well

Useless app. The only thing it's good for is getting the device on your wifi. It won't set a user/password no matter what combo or trick you choose. It doesn't tell you the password requirements either, which are: 8 chars minimum, no spaces, and you must use at LEAST 2 different types of characters. You are better off using an ethernet cable and the desktop app to configure.
