Well, now that I think about it - I don't ever recall receiving a firmware update notice by email - not even since they were Foscam. I've only seen notices here on this forum or via the SmartHome app (which is woefully not kept up to date in any case). And firmware release notes? They are essential for many reasons, but rarely provided even after creating support cases asking for them.
I just now unsubscribed to the "firmware" email which makes no mention of other email options. Will be interesting how soon the ads stop, if ever, but I'm not going to get that bothered by my spam folder content. This forum will continue to be my go-to place for firmware info - but that's dependent on Eli/Amcrest's continued participation which has been a bit lacking lately.
Oh, and don't you enjoy the sales chat whack-a-mole game on the Amcrest home page?
