Doesn't recognize all amcrest cameras

This new app cannot do what the old one could which I don’t get it, isn’t the point of a new app to be better in the previous one? Not only that, but if you were using the old one for all your cameras, you actually won’t be able to use this version as it does not recognize all the cameras you might have in your system, even though it’s the same brand (amcrest). It won't accept P2P amcrest camera with serial starting with Z. It says serial not recognized.

Miserable

This app is a mess. The old app isn’t very good but it’s way better than this. Too bad. Deleted.

No P2P Gateway import??

I have an Amcrest P2P account in where all my devices are collectively residing. I’m using the previous Amcrest View Pro, one could import all the devices quite effortlessly, but this feature is not part of this new version. You have to manually add one by one. This is no big deal when dealing with just a few devices, but it becomes quite difficult to add every device when your own 30+.

Please incorporate this feature.

No user friendly

Force you to change password on just adding the camera. That should be an user choice. Just like if I buy a lock, I should be able to leave it unlocked.

Motion detector playback does not work

the app is good, and it has function smart motion like motion human or vehicle, but it doesn’t work. The all functions turned on and motion detection I can see with the monitor to connect to nvr. So I can give only 3 unfortunately.

easy to use

interface is way more user friendly than the old version

App works great if….

Enable gpu option in iOS app or 9+ 4k cameras will crash the app. With gpu option on this app works great! I originally gave it a bad review, but it was my error.
