User reviews

Not trivial to get to work with our unit but not overly complicated for anyone with any experience dealing with electronics. Update ... now only sporadically works. Will not work on my tablets. And I refuse to use the new 2.0 app because it runs on a 3 second delay ... not helpful for safety.

Latest update broke playback. I can only see about 1 hour of video on one camera and just a few minutes on another camera. Nothing on another. I will update rating when this gets fixed. Edit 11-22-2024: Still can't get Amcrest View Pro to properly show playback with the latest update. I always have to revert back to version 4.2.024. That's the last version that shows all playback correctly. I've even installed Amcrest View Pro 2. Same problem there.

Recently, something changed and when the notification settings are turned on and actually stay on, it won't even tell me when there's activity/motion in my camera's view. This totally DEFEATS the purpose of having a security camera!!! Please fix it and the bug where it turns off notifications in general (randomly on its own).
