Amcrest Smart Home devices such as the Amcrest Floodlight camera are capable of connecting to both the Amcrest Smart Home app as well as the Amcrest View Pro app.
However, since Amcrest Smart Home devices function primarily on a cloud based platform setting up an Amcrest Smart Home device to the Amcrest View Pro app will result in only live view being available and must be set up first using the Amcrest Smart Home app.
If you would like to view your Amcrest Smart Home devices using the Amcrest View Pro app, please refer to the information provided below.
