Adding a Camera On Amcrest Cloud App

Step 1: To add a camera to the app, click on the  icon in the main menu.

Step 4: Scan the QR code located on your device to automatically generate the serial number. You can also manually enter it by typing it into the Enter camera S/N (serial number) field. 

To begin, locate the serial tag on your device. The serial tag should be on the bottom/side of your device. Once you have located the serial tag, find the QR Code and scan hover your mobile device's camera over the code. The serial number will automatically populate in the Enter camera S/N (serial number) field. 

If you are unsuccessful in scanning the QR code you can enter the serial number for your device manually into the app. To do so, locate the serial number for your device on the serial tag and enter the serial number into the Enter camera S/N (serial number) field.

Note: If you receive the error message below, there may be an issue connecting your device to the cloud. Please ensure the camera on is or power cycle (reset) the camera.
