This feature is only available for Amcrest Cloud plans that feature a continuous storage plan. For more information on Amcrest Cloud continuous storage plans, please click here. 

The Filter By Group feature provides a functional way to group and sort cameras. It's particularly useful when you have a large number of cameras across multiple locations and you want to keep them organized. You can also restrict access to cameras based on groups.
