No update in 4 years and doesn’t support new cameras
This app does not support IP5M-1190W. Tech support couldn’t get it to work on the ipad. iphone app updated a month ago works fine with the new camera. Time to get this app up to speed!!!
Push notifications do not work in the Ipad version
I have tried everything to make this work - deleted, reinstalled, tried a different (new) iPad, had over 20 email responses from Tech support but the Push notification and event recording does not work on the iPad version. Installed the iPhone version on the same iPad and it works fine!!
Tech support fail to understand this or don’t care.

Great app but needs a bit of work
I love the playback motion feature that when you play it it skips to the next motion and to the next. So you can go over a whole day relevant moments in minutes.
The app has some bugs though.
And would be much easier and nice to just pick the day for playback as opposed to having to set a day and time for start and a day and time for end with that limitation of 24hrs.

Garbage software
This software works sometimes and sometimes not at all. Crashes frequently. Will not playback video at a point of your choosing - seems to always jump forward a couple of hours or to the very end. Very frustrating to try to use. Each update seems to introduce new errors and inconsistencies.
Come on Amcrest, can’t your development team do better than this!

Don’t buy that
Since a while, I constantly need to disconnect and reconnect the camera. My router is fine because I can see with my IP cam pro. The camera is fine. The problem is at Amcrest. It goes on and off. Whether with my iPad or my iPhone.

Can connect with wifi but the options are difficult to set don't know how I can schedul and select aregion mask to watch and got no notifcation worst app cam I try
Weak Diluted Security
You know this company does not have an IT team when it developed 10 different apps instead of one. Each one is just slightly different and a complete waste of time. Need help and try to call? Have fun spending 10+ minutes waiting for someone with the hold message on a glitching repeat. It’s a 5 second message on constant, glitching repeat. It was the most miserable experience of my life. Trying to get your camera from your iPad to your iPhone? You need a computer and you need to download 3 MORE DIFFERENT SOFTWARES to do it, and it’s still not guaranteed to work. This is the worst security design I could ever work with. Literally, if the person who gave me a set of cameras did not pass away (and thus being one of the last gifts ever received from the,) I would throw it all away bc it’s just not worth it. The system is not secure and so poorly designed. This must be the most weak and hackable security system I have ever seen.
There’s ZERO option on any app or any of the three computer softwares I wanted to download to upgrade so I can feel safe leaving my home and know everything is being recorded. Absolutely worst experience ever.

Not updated for >4 years
The app for ipad only works now for viewing live cam. You cannot access any recordings. This problem arose with latest camera firmware which somehow the app isnt happy with. You just get ‘no recording’ error message if you try and find recordings (despite the fact the recordings do exist). Shame its never been upgraded to fix this.

Perfect idk bad comment but my app working perfect

Great WiFi camera
Have been using Amcrest now for over 12 years and have over that time purchased 9 cameras for my business. Once set up I’ve had no issues logging in to view remotely. I use my iPhone with the app and it’s great. I’ve only just got the MacBook app to work this year so I can jump on the cameras now on my Mac while doing other work. For the price these are great but I do agree with other reviews that Amcrest should provide more updates so we can get the best from it.
