I just set-up a new IP5M-1190W and found a problem with the set-up process. In the step where it has the user enter the network password, you can enter the network password fine, but the "Next" that you have to click on is hidden under the screen keyboard so you get stuck. Android 12.

Amcrestview shows that it can display multiple cameras. When I click on the 4 camera view, it lets me select 1 camera. How do I select additional cameras? I realize that surveillancepro may be a better fit, but for some reason it won't communicate P2P with 2 of my cameras and amcrestview and android...

P2P. It's odd since I can access and do everything except video. It's on a restaurant's wifi, I'll have to see if they will let me mess with their router. P2P is so much cleaner since you don't have to deal with the ISP changing the IP address.

I'm trying to access an IP4M off network, it works fine when my laptop is on the local network. Remotely, I get a green light in Surveillance Pro, so it's connecting. I can even access settings remotely, but I can't get video working. I get message "Failed tp open video! You have no right to op...

Thanks Jack7, I have both Amcrestview and Surveillance Pro working thanks to your help! I hadn't seen that p2p option, that was the secret. Now I need to get a few more cameras and learn to use the NVR.

Thanks, I have Amcrestview.com working, I can't figure out multiple windows yet. Amcrest Surveillance Pro, I tried it a while back and didn't get t to work. I'll try again, but it won't let me in, it says my password doesn't match and the default doesn't work. I must have set one when I tried last y...

I can't get logged in. I've tried what I thought the password was and I tried the default again, no luck. How can I get the password reset or get the install totally reset so I can try the default password again?

The Android app works well to access off network cameras via the camera serial numbers. I haven't found a way to do that with a Windows desktop. Is there some software I need, I'm willing to buy it, to make this work? Going to each camera, and it's router, would be a pain plus using IP addresses wou...

Is there a reason why tech support isn't willing to access my camera directly and insists upon accessing via my computer? I have an SD card issue and she said it's impossible to just access the camera with a browser, which is odd since I do it every day. The camera is across town, so there is no adv...
