    NVR Remote Access

    Any workarounds to access Camera UIs instead of implementing Port Forwarding on the NVR(s)? Im using the Amcrest Surveillance Pro client software remotely at the moment, but has its limitations. Went to Link to WEB in the software to access the NVR that way, but the IE link in the camera doesn't...

    Amcrest Installation

    Thanks for all the insights on the Amcrest world we are dealing with. I think moving forward we will just improve upon what is already in place, and see what the near future bring as far as stability, growth or needs. The design and the uncertainties just bugs me - BUT what is there is there...

    Thanks. Yeah we had a theory that perhaps they ran into some kind of performance issue somewhere, and did this off loading thing, but, its not a good thing. With some adjustments you can probably use the single 5232 NVR with the 32 Channels it can allegedly handle.

    Amcrest Installation

    We recently brought on a new client that has a existing Amcrest install by another company\person. They reached out to us due to all the issues they were having with the system (cams going down, and other odd things) and the current provider. We have been able to correct issues here and there...

    Better NVR for 26 Amcrest Cameras.

    Curious how this all worked out for you? We just did a take-over of this almost exact setup that another company installed, and its a mess.
