Blocks password managers
You can’t use a password manager. You cannot paste one either. Awful security practice for a security device that requires better than average security.

Doesn’t seem that Amcrest limits features in order to encourage a cloud subscription which I don’t need. I like the detection zone control ability. I have an outdoor camera with another company and detection zone setting is unavailable without cloud service. Not happy about this but discovered it too late to return.
I would like to see this app recognize a trusted device and not have to log in every time. Other than that it’s not too bad.
Great in app instructions for setup and video. Cons: - app requires the account to setup devices. This is a security concern. Only bought device for off the network use. - device setup ask to Save my WiFi password. Only want to save it on my device, do not want cloud or amcrest security breach to leak my info or WiFi passwords. Only chose Amcrest because it supposed to work without cloud. Yet it won’t work without account. - clunky UI, not like Apple apps but not too bad.
Nothing works right. Entering passwords is a pain. Typical slap dash app development garbage. Can’t use my WiFi password because it is too long. No feedback from the app indicating issues. Makes the whole process a painful guessing game. This is why I prefer a web interface instead of all these garbage applications written by inexperienced engineers.
This is a good camera resolution exceptional. It is very difficult to install. The instructions are could be better.
Very difficult to set up. Instructions didn’t go into enough detail. “Record QR code”. What QR code? Where Is it?? Use s/n instead. WHAT s/n? Where is it? VERY poor instructions on how to do a reset. Nothing in instructions on removing the cover. As I tried to follow the instructions I had to go back up the ladder several times. I did get the camera working eventually, now working on slaving the floodlights to the motion sensor. I assume it’s not working because it’s not dark. I’ll try again after sundown. There needs to be a way to configure/test the unit on a table prior to installing it. Then I wouldn’t have to go up and down the ladder 10 times.
It is pretty easy to use once you sit down and go through it. Also, it seems you can find an easy troubleshoot by googling. The Firmware update is still not working on my app.
Slow, bad connectivity, no access to recordings unless on home network...clumsy navigation. Bad, bad, bad! And now, April 2024, app keeps logging me out. This company just can't do anything right!
Platform is reliable and user friendly.
