1. As a leader in the home security space, Amcrest offers products to help you and your loved ones feel safe, no matter where you are.
2. The Amcrest View Pro app was specifically designed for our Amcrest IP Cameras, HDCVI DVRs, and NVRs.
3. Watch your cameras live using your Android device!
4. With the Amcrest View Pro app, it's simple to check in on what you care about, from anywhere.
1. The GUI settings in the app to change the encoding bit rate doesn't fix the issue after it happens, and the web UI cannot fix it either, you are stuck needing a factory reset.There are many flaws in this software, but a pervasive clunkiness to its overall operationit (on my admittedly outdated phone) and ill-devised tool linkage clearly points to it not being thoroughly vetted by a competent testing team, but what can you expect for such a cheap-o camera? It does function, but its quirks make it a chore to use in any active situation.
2. The API is available so maybe it's time.Wonderful I think you have to have some experience in the world of setting up cameras it took a few systems of all kinds to really learn how to use or even set it up but by far amcrest was easier way easier to understand there's a lot that we don't understand yet....but. The one thing that is discouraging is the time it takes to get a response with email and can't get a hold of anybody by phoneI used to be able to remotely playback video.
3. Biggest thing is not being able to get into my camera quickly.No longer works properly with the Amcrest IPM-HX1, upon connecting the app causes the camera to change the encoding to 60,000 to 70,000 kbps.
4. Finally able to save MP4 videos.Sometimes the cameras get "hung up" or take a long time to load or respond to commands, but the video quality and night vision is really good.
5. Great for passive video capture in more safe areas which don't require intensive monitoring.Latest update 2/15/23 broke push notifications.
6. Not sure if this is a software issue from an update or a compatibility issue with the Samsung s22 Ultra's Android version.I have used this app for a couple of years and never had a problem.
7. Then it crashes too often, and if it does, sometimes all the cameras you added are gone because the only way to enter the app is to delete the cache and/or stored data.
8. Push notifications show 20 sec pre record and 40 sec of event and can't be changed, Randomly turns off notifications, fast forward freezes video.
9. The setup is super annoying and never works the first 10 tries, so just use the cable and save yourself the headache of a million wifi chimes that never connect.
10. Still useless.The camera hang on a loading screen til they timeout.
11. The speaker is nice & clear, but to listen at the same time creates crazy feedback.
