The Amcrest View Pro app allows instant access to all live camera streams from any location. This is the primary application most users prefer when using Amcrest systems. The app supports a multitude of features and includes both a plug-and-play setup as well as a manual network setup.
Note: AI features provided by the NVR can only be modified locally or by using the NVR's web UI via a web browser and cannot be adjusted using the Amcrest View Pro app.
The Amcrest View Pro app can be downloaded from both the App Store and Play Store.
Before the NVR can be accessed through the app using the easy plug-and-play method (P2P Setup), P2P must be enabled on the NVR.
Enabling P2P
P2P should be enabled on your device by default, however, to check if P2P is enabled, please follow the information provided below.
Log into your NVR and access the Main Menu.
In the Management section, click on Network then click on P2P. Ensure the Enable checkbox is enabled and the P2P status says “Online”. This indicates the P2P option is enabled. Use the QR code provided in the interface to add the NVR to the Amcrest View Pro app.
Amcrest View Pro Setup
The following steps will continue the app setup process for an Android phone and, though the iPhone version of the app has slightly different steps, most of this process is identical and easy.
Download and install the Amcrest View Pro app for the App Store or Google Play Store.
