Holy shit I got it to connect !! I didn't use your server info but looking at your DM showed me what I needed. It seems that for these PTZ cameras the username must be entered as the full email address, not just the first part before the @ symbol. So when I changed the username to my full email addr...

Also, I should mention that when I first got these IP4M cameras a year ago, they would not connect to Wi-fi when scanning the QR code. You were able to provide a fix which involved holding the phone camera lens in front of the PTZ camera lens about 6" away and then it would connect. I'm wonderi...

I don't think it's an issue with the mail client. When I try to change the password it says "Unable to Connect". I'm not even trying to send a test email. But I know the app is communicating with the camera because I can open the live view and see everything fine. I have had these cameras ...

I have 2 IP4M-1041W PTZ cameras inside my house and 6 Amcrest POE bullet cameras outside. I need to change the email password on all the cameras so they will send me emails after motion detect. The outside POE cameras work fine but I can't change the email password on the PTZ cameras. When I try to ...

You know, it seems like the problems with the IP Config Tool started after I replaced my router. My old Linksys died and I replaced it with a Linksys MR6350V1 with Mesh. It's an 802.11ac so it operates on 2.4 and 5GHz. I'm wondering if this might be the problem. As I said I have 2 Mac Mini computers...

Thanks for the reply ! I tried resetting the cameras then repeated the Wifi config setup. This time I held the phone in front of the camera lens....and it was able to connect to Wifi ! I don't really understand why it worked though. What is the camera looking at? There's no bar code to read or anyth...

Just bought 2 IP4M-1041W cameras. Trying to get them to connect to Wi-Fi but neither one works. Using the Amcrest View Pro app, I tried the Ethernet Wi-Fi setup, the Wi-Fi config setup, and the Search Device setup. None work. I can scan the serial numbers no problem, if I try the Ethernet setup it c...

I have six IP3M-954EW POE cameras. I've had them for several years and they work great. Used the P2P setup on Amcrest View Pro to set them up without any problems. Anyway, the IP Config Tool, which I need to set the IP Address and assign the port number, stopped working recently. I have 3 computers ...
