How To Setup A Device In Amcrest View Pro 2 Using IP/Domain Setup

Amcrest View Pro 2 provides several ways of connecting your device to the Amcrest View Pro 2 mobile app. However, for the most secure method of connecting your device use the IP/Domain/DDNS method. 

To setup your camera using the IP/Domain/DDNS method you will need to first port forward your device. This allows to establish a public IP address instead of using a local IP address so you can access your device remotely outside of your network. For more information on how to setup port forwarding on your device, click here.
