I wasn't about to trash my Armcrest, but I glad I saw your video. After struggling with resetting for several hours, it took me less than 10 minutes to reset it after I saw your video. Thanks
And the winner for the best amcrest video setup for after , a new router, or move is the guy who suffered it first that decided to take the time to make a video for us with gtreat explanation to the point minus all the bullshit ,,,,,, thank you my man very much
Thank you Sir for taking your time to send me such a great comment. I’m so glad this is still helping people I literally got two great comments to wake up too. To me that’s what it’s all about. Helping people any way I can. You made my day Sir thank you 💪🏻😊🤙🏻
Spent 2 days trying to connecting my camera to wifi with no success. Was about to trash it. Thought it wouldn't work with my wifi security settings. Figured things out after 10 minutes of watching your video. Didn't know you could hold in the flashing button to reset the camera.Thank you so much.
KlicKlac vids My pleasure I’m glad it helped. Please consider subscribing I have lots of content you may like and also will be having a free store opening soon for my subscribers. It will show you how to get free movies and tv shows on an amazon fire tv. That’s something everyone can use during this corona virus 🦠😁👍🏻
THANK YOU ! The steps you brought us through WORKED!!! This camera was a junk before it just couldn’t work! Was chucked in the cupboard since a year ago when we bought it. It is REBORN today! THANK YOU for your video guidance!
Great video !! I successfully setup the camera several years but forgot how to setup with a new router and this video help me a lot. The key here is resetting the camera with the reset button at 3:51 and using the Ethernet cable.
It’s a great pleasure for me to help people so I’m really really happy. The video helped you. Thank you for the great comment and taking the time to do so sometimes it actually makes my day. Enjoy your working camera. 😊
Rodolfo Cubillo My pleasure 😁👍🏻. It’s amazing to me how many people this video has helped and Amcrest has done nothing to make them easier to reset or understand. Lol. Thank you for the comment.
Brilliant , thank you so much for your video. Wasted so much time looking at forums including Amcrest but could not find what you do when changing from a 2.4 ghz to dual band router. Had even put a new dual band camera in my Amazon basket then I saw your video. Thanks again.
Read about 50 help posts on the Amcrest site and your video was the only one that helped! - couldn't they do something like this? haha crazy!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this video. I Bought this Camara for my apartment to watch my fur babies when I go on vacations. I’m going on a vacation in a couple of hours and I was so worry I won’t be able to see them. Thank god I found your Video. I been trying to fix this for a month, after we got a new internet provider. Thank you again.
This video was so easy to follow! My husband and I were struggling so badly this morning for more than an hour, ready to tear our hair out. Finally he had to go to work, and I thought I’d try one more time after finding your video. Connected right away! Thank you so much.
I love hearing stories like this. To me that’s why I create videos. I have used TH-cam myself for things I don’t know how to do or projects that I want to attempt for myself but just don’t know how to do them. Just like there is a tool for every job, TH-cam is a tool for all of us. I’m glad you didn’t give up and found my video. I have switched cameras now because mine stopped working all together so I bought a new one. If yours dies you may like the camera I replaced the Amcrest with. I believe I have talked about it in the comments and I also made a video about it. I am not sponsored by them I just love the camera and it was inexpensive. Regardless, I think it’s awesome you were the one to fix the camera and not your husband 💪🏼😊. Great job
I’ve gone 9 months wondering what I was doing wrong with key word searches leading me to no where until tonight. Thank you for taking the time to show us step by step on how to reset with a new router. Seriously the best simplified video! You’re amazing 🤩
Trust me Orion, we including myself, have all been exactly where you are. I feel like if not for my video created years ago the pile of these in landfills could be seen from space lol 😂. Glad it helped and thanks for the comment.
Thank you so much!! Switched services and with new router my camera wasn't working anymore. Cable guy couldn't get it to work so he was going to get in contact with the IT dept. Glad I stumbled upon your video and now I got it to work. Funny thing is I suggested that we plug in the Ethernet cable and he said "no that doesn't have anything to do with it not connecting" Lmaooo boy was he wrong. God Bless!
nickee g Glad it helped and it’s my pleasure. I am trying to reach 1000 subscribers if you wanted to subscribe it does help me. You can mute anything you don’t want to see. That’s all I’m asking people to do if you would. I love making videos and once I reach a 1000 they will start to pay me 1 cent a video. :)
This video is perfect for people who move into different homes and need to reset their amcrest systems. It's also great for when people switch to new phones. Excellent video sir! Thank you!
Demonicon Glad it helped. Enjoy 😊. Wish they were paying me for all the people I helped with this so far. It’s crazy and they give you nothing that will help.
Thanks! Perfect video. I recently got a new router and spent a few frustrating hours trying to get my 2 cameras working. Followed your info and they set right up.
OMG!!! You don't know how long and how much trouble I've been through trying to get this connected to the wifi network.. THANKS SO MUCH!!! Fantastic VIDEO!!! I'm Like everyone else here I had given up and yesterday I said I've had this camera for ever its time to get it on the wifi.
Eric B. My pleasure I’m glad the video helped. I leave the negative feedback just too keep it real. If people don’t like it I’m sorry about that I’m honestly just trying to give back for videos that have helped me and I honestly enjoy helping people. Thanks for the feedback 😁👍🏻
John Perez My pleasure bud glad it helped. You should subscribe Incase you need this again. I’ve had to use my own video again as well. They are pretty hard to figure out.
I also, was ready to buy new cameras. You and your video are AWESOME!! Thank you for thinking about the rest the the lost souls. I can't say enough to tell you how much I appreciate this.
Shannon Kennedy My pleasure Shannon I’m glad it helped you. And just taking the time to message me makes it all worth it. I enjoy every time I hear that someone else was helped. Take care and good luck with your cameras going forward. 😊
I had to reboot my router every time before I added a camera to get it to work. It can be a frustrating son of a gun. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
May I thank you for a very well put together how to video. I have had nothing but issues with getting this Amcrest connected after upgrading my router. You are a star, owe you a beer Sir.
Thank you, thank you, thank you..... Just bought a house and the previous owner left the cameras in place. After many frustrating attempts I thought it was better just to buy new ones...you are the man.
I just wanted to thank you so much for this video that helped me reset all the cameras on my new router! What a blessing this video has been! Really appreciate you taking the time to make this easy-to-follow tutorial!
reefdiver7 I’m glad the video helped. Thank you for taking the time to mention that it was helpful as well. Makes making videos to help others worth it for me. :)
Great video, I just wanted to add for others who may be struggling. My camera was working fine, it does grab a new IP frequently, most likely DHCP, but this time, it just would not grab a new IP after a firmware update. I did not know about that light being a button, so that really helped from your video. My issue turned out to be, which you lead me to, was the 2.4Ghz v 5 Ghz issue. My uverse router was set with the same name for both frequencies so I could not tell which freq I was actually connected to. So I went into my router settings and set the 2.4 Ghz band to name-24 so I could distinguish between the two when connecting to wifi. That fixed it for me and I am not sure how long that has been an issue. Thank you.
Sadly they should be a sponsor for me. If I had a dollar for all the people I’ve helped that they just don’t help at all I would be very wealthy lol. Glad it helped you please consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 😊❤️
Thank you SO MUCH!!! It’s been a nightmare so much so that I gave up over a year ago. Just tried it watching your video and it worked in less than 10mins!!! Amazing and so grateful! :) made my day!!
Vera Salha hello Vera, thank you for your comments and it’s been a pleasure helping so many people. You should subscribe if you wish because it helps me towards my goal of 1,000 subscribers and I have also had to use my own video a few times like when I’ve lost power or internet issues. Either way I am glad it helped you.
Your very welcome and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. Most people just get the info and leave without saying thanks or subscribing. The comments help everyone which is why it’s important on anyones channel. 😊
Well Randy, thanks for your comment and for saying that. Yes still trying to help people because it’s my passion as a firefighter first and a TH-camr second 😊🤙🏻
Mohammed Tayseer Hahahaha. Trust me I’ve felt the same way. Mine started getting even worse over time and not connecting period so honestly I stopped using it and bought a different one that is actually better. I still have it but it’s in a drawer now. I’m glad it helped you and thank you for the comments. ✌🏻😁🤙🏻
Lynn McFadden My pleasure and please consider subscribing which will help me reach my goal of 1,000 subscribers. Also so you can find this video again in the future.
Thanks. I own 3 and this new one was giving me trouble for awhile so I put it away for 1 year. Thanks to you I was able to reset it and connect it. I did it in just a few minutes on the first try.
charlie90501 I am very happy my video has helped so many. Thank you for taking your time to say so. The funny thing is even I have watched my video again after not using the camera for a long time. The camera had forgotten its settings so without my own video it would have taken a long time for me to remember how to get it to work. Enjoy yours my friend and thanks for again taking the time to let me know my video helped.
Deb Shannon Hahahahaha. Well I wish I had a dollar for all the people I’ve helped. I’m very glad this helped you. Please consider subscribing I’m trying very hard to reach 1,000 subscribers. That would be all the thanks I could ask for. Thank you for the reply and it will always be here if you need it again which I have myself. Lol. If you do subscribe I have a video for how to get free movies and TV shows if you have an Amazon fire tv stick. I’m starting to dabble in that area as well. Just watch my newest video and you will see what I’m talking about but no pressure of course. It’s free to my subscribers only.
God Bless you!!! I was about to throw my Amcrest away i was soooooo frustrated. Your step by step made it work!!!! You're amazing!!! thank you for making this video, their website or google didn't help Jack.
My pleasure bud glad it helped you. If I got a dollar everyone I’ve helped with this I’d be a rich person lol 😂. Merry Christmas 🎄 and happy holidays to you and your family 😊
Thanks so much for the info, I didn't know about the reset button. Once I reset and connected through the 2.5 channel, all the cameras connected. I tried for an hour with no luck on one camera. Thanks again.
This helped a lot. I have the Amcrest IP841B and I was trying to connect it to my new TP-Link AC750 WiFi extender. The part where you left the password as the default seemed to fix the issues for me. I had tried multiple times with changing the password during the setup and it failed. The one time I left the password default like you did, it worked.
Thank you so much. The video from Amcrest was useless. While I didn't have to connect via ethernet , I did have to leave the default password during the initial install and then it asked me to change the pw. I had first tried setting my pw during install and it didn't work. Once I resetted and let the admin default pw during install, it worked.
I just changed my internet service provider from AT&T U-Verse to Comcast Xfinity and had to change my modem. I thought I could just hook all of my ethernet cables to the new Xfinity modem and reconnect my camera. Absolutely not the case. I was just about to buy a new camera, but after watching your video, I'm going to try resetting it tomorrow. The only thing different about my situation is that my camera is power-over-ethernet (POE) instead of outlet power charge, so hopefully that doesn't complicate things. Thanks for the video.
I also have (POE) cameras but they are different models. I had an issue with my DVR that came with my cameras and had to buy a new one to get all my cameras back. Totally different situation but had 4 cameras for outside and now have 8 because I had to buy the DVR with the cameras included. I’m guessing your POE cameras are Amcrest. I hope my process helps with yours. Mine connect immediately when plugged in so no reset necessary. If you want to let us all know how yours goes I’m sure it will help others if they have a similar issue. Thanks for the comment and I hope it works for you :)
It took me 10 Min. to set up after going out of my mind for days! I was ready to get a new camera. Thank you sooooo much...... now how to I hear what is going on :)
beajim10 Tap in the speaker icon on the bottom of the screen. And the mic is if you wanna talk to them. Glad the video helped. Thanks for the feedback 😁👍🏻
Thanks alot for taking your time and posting this awesome video! You made this a matter of minutes when I had tried for hours to reconnect after connecting a new router.Best video in TH-cam to reconnect your Amcrest security cameras!!!You rock bro!
Amcrest should pay you! I watched their video as many times as you did. It wasn't until I saw your video that I was able to connect -- First try! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you both for your replies. I’m sorry I didn’t say thanks sooner when I look at my videos and comments I just look at the thing that shows a reply. I thought I replied to this but I hadn’t. My pleasure to you both and thanks again for your feedback it makes it all worth the effort 😁👍🏻
Thank you sir: Like others here it tried several times to connect my Amcrest IPM-751 dome camera to a new wifi router. It was driving me nuts. Then I found this video and realized I had to bring the camera to the router... Here are my saved notes: We replaced our wifi router and that caused problems. The camera has to be brought to the router and connected via Ethernet cable and a 12v power adapter. The camera’s internal rest button can be pressed for 30 seconds to reset the camera settings. Then power off wait 10 seconds, then power on (red light) wait for blinking then a solid green light. Now run Amcrest app and select install a wifi camera using Ethernet connection… follow prompts to where you can view camera video without Ethernet cable connected. Now the power can be disconnected. The camera can be tested by reconnecting to power then waiting 2 minutes (for solid green light) now restart the Amcrest app and verify all is working. If error occurs simply restart the Amcrest app (sometimes a connection will simply fail). Okay, then disconnect power, move camera to its actual location and reconnect its power. Again, it takes about 2 minutes for the camera to restart and connect (solid green light). Now restart Amcrest app to view live video. Done.
d church Glad it helped my friend. Nice job with the notes as well. Enjoy and save or subscribe because you WILL need this again. I have used my own video a few times since. 😁👍🏻
If I had a nickel for everyone I have helped with that video 😁. I’m so glad it helped and thank you for subscribing. You may need that video again in the future. I have used it a few times myself as a refresher when I’ve lost power and the settings didn’t stick. Since you subscribed you may like some of my other videos. I do have one on a new camera I bought and have switched too. I will say the Amcrest is now sitting in a drawer lol.
Thanks! I have an amcrest camera and could not make it work for a long while, after getting a new modem. I knew it has to work but how? Found you and followed your instruction on iPad and resetting the device manager on my iPhone , YEY! I got it working now. Great job sharing your valuable knowledge. I need not ask my techie son to do it for me. He’d think his Mama is smart (but you get full credit). Thanks again.
Lovice Medina Hello Lovice. I’m very happy you were able to get your camera up and running by yourself. Kids today are very good with technology for sure but so are we with just a little help. I truly loved the story and thank you for sharing yours with me. That’s one of the best parts about helping people and why I give back if I figure out something difficult. Great job and I’ll keep your secret for sure :)
Thank you for making this video which was wayyyyyy better than any support Amcrest has done.... I was 👌🏿 this close to utterly losing my shit and this video prevented that lol...Thanks again
M C My pleasure I’m glad it helped. Best part is I’ve had to use my own video to help myself again. When I left it unplugged for a while it reset so I had to reset it again. I was happy I made the video or back to square one for me as well trying to figure it out. Enjoy
My pleasure I’m glad it helped you out as well. If you keep this camera consider subscribing because I’ve had to use my own video more than once. Lol. Have a great new year 😁🤙🏻
My pleasure William 😃🤙🏻. If I had a dollar for everyone I’ve helped with this I could buy myself a new Tesla Cyber truck lol 😂. I’m glad the video is still helping people. Thank you for the comment and taking your time to let me know it helped.
thomatl if I got a dollar for all the people this has helped I’d be Elon Musk. Lol. Glad it helped. You should subscribe Incase you need this again. I’ve used my own video again when I unplugged mine for days.
Oh my Goodness! Thank you! thank you! I also tried a zillion times, kept getting 'camera already exists' message! :-( Followed your directive and Voila! success! Thanks again so much! :-) :-)
Zuhier Tawil I am glad it helped and thank you for saying so. It really was a pain in my butt as well which is why I posted the video. Please subscribe if you feel it helped you because I’m trying to reach 1,000 subscribers. Thank you :)

Eugene My pleasure Eugene. Thank you for the comment and I’m glad it helped you. You may want to subscribe just Incase it happens again. I have had to use my own video to do it again when I replaced my router again. Take care and stay safe during this pandemic. Crazy world we live in rite now.
Kristy Eagal Your welcome bud trust me I know exactly how you felt which is why I made the video. You should save this video or subscribe because I’ve had to use my own video again when my power went off and my router reset. Glad it helped though. :)
chicaguayaca hahahahaha trust me I was as well. I am pretty good with technology and just couldn’t see wasting the money so when I had a lot of time to spare I figured it out. I always make videos to try to give back to those that have helped me on TH-cam as well. Glad I could help enjoy the camera. Subscribe if you would like just incase you have to do this again. Thank you for your comments.
Amcrest should be paying you for solving so many people's issues. Thank you for this video.

Put this video in a time capsule as it'll be a great reminder of what life was like in these fiddly technical times!
Nick Palmer Couldn’t agree more 😁👍🏻

Well Randy, thanks for your comment and for saying that. Yes still trying to help people because it’s my passion as a firefighter first and a TH-camr second 😊🤙🏻
Happy New Year brother.
I know this is an old video, but thank you so much ! Been struggling with this for a couple of days.......
@@sail235aeh My pleasure and I am glad it is still helping people.
I had suffered trying to connect it and i was about to hit it and through it in the garbage until my brother sent me your video. Thank you so much 😊
Mohammed Tayseer Hahahaha. Trust me I’ve felt the same way. Mine started getting even worse over time and not connecting period so honestly I stopped using it and bought a different one that is actually better. I still have it but it’s in a drawer now. I’m glad it helped you and thank you for the comments. ✌🏻😁🤙🏻
Tom Brady you not only won another super bowl but you have helped me connect this darn thing
Hahahahaha. Don’t tell anyone 🤙🏻
As with others, this camera has driven me crazy. Very good explanation. Thank you so much.\
Deborah Grant My pleasure Deborah
Thanks for the post. I made sure to turn off my cell service and waited about 30 seconds between each section and it worked!.
Lynn McFadden My pleasure and please consider subscribing which will help me reach my goal of 1,000 subscribers. Also so you can find this video again in the future.
Thanks. I own 3 and this new one was giving me trouble for awhile so I put it away for 1 year. Thanks to you I was able to reset it and connect it. I did it in just a few minutes on the first try.
charlie90501 I am very happy my video has helped so many. Thank you for taking your time to say so. The funny thing is even I have watched my video again after not using the camera for a long time. The camera had forgotten its settings so without my own video it would have taken a long time for me to remember how to get it to work. Enjoy yours my friend and thanks for again taking the time to let me know my video helped.
You do not know how valuable this video is! This made it so easy after I struggled for so long. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Deb Shannon Hahahahaha. Well I wish I had a dollar for all the people I’ve helped. I’m very glad this helped you. Please consider subscribing I’m trying very hard to reach 1,000 subscribers. That would be all the thanks I could ask for. Thank you for the reply and it will always be here if you need it again which I have myself. Lol. If you do subscribe I have a video for how to get free movies and TV shows if you have an Amazon fire tv stick. I’m starting to dabble in that area as well. Just watch my newest video and you will see what I’m talking about but no pressure of course. It’s free to my subscribers only.
I will subscribe. Yes, I am a cordcutter, have a 4K firestick, an Nvidia Shield and have lots of apps for free movies and TV, so always interested!
Thank you sooooo much! I was loosing my mind over this!
Ryan Coatney My pleasure bud glad it helped.
God Bless you!!! I was about to throw my Amcrest away i was soooooo frustrated. Your step by step made it work!!!! You're amazing!!! thank you for making this video, their website or google didn't help Jack.
LadySpyKit The pleasure is all mine. Glad it helped you :)
Can you record video on micro sd without having to connect it to the internet also does the night vision work great I want it as a sleep cam
Excellent presentation. I got all 4 of my cameras up and working because of this video. Thanks for taking the time.
Thanks for the comment Wayne glad to help anytime I can. Have a great new year.
OMG - you are my life saver. I was so frustrated and the technical support was not helpful. With your video, it worked. Awesome! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the great comment and it was a pleasure.
Thanks a ton. I was losing my mind over this you made it easy. My wife thanks you too!
Thomas Mitchell pleasure is mine. I’m glad the video helped and tell your wife I said my pleasure as well. :)
You are life saver. Thanks man! I was getting really frustrated with this system
My pleasure bud glad it helped you. If I got a dollar everyone I’ve helped with this I’d be a rich person lol 😂. Merry Christmas 🎄 and happy holidays to you and your family 😊
Thank you! been on this for hours and yours just helped me straight up!
My pleasure glad it helped and thanks for the comment 😊👍🏻
Thank you for this video. I was getting ready to toss this camera until i saw your video. Helps alot
Olie Weatherman My pleasure bud.
Thanks so much for the info, I didn't know about the reset button. Once I reset and connected through the 2.5 channel, all the cameras connected. I tried for an hour with no luck on one camera.
Thanks again.
Little Nicky Glad to help bud.
This helped a lot. I have the Amcrest IP841B and I was trying to connect it to my new TP-Link AC750 WiFi extender. The part where you left the password as the default seemed to fix the issues for me. I had tried multiple times with changing the password during the setup and it failed. The one time I left the password default like you did, it worked.
anonimuso I am glad it helped you. Gotta love TH-cam 😁👍🏻
it worked! i love you man. i was about to dump this and buy a new one. thank you so much
Varun Goel Your very welcome thank your for the feedback 😁👍🏻
Excellent!! Solved my problem. Amcrest troubleshooting did not address this issue.
John Bedoyan Glad I was able to help another soul. Lol :)
Thank You so much for taking the time to put this video on line! The Lord Bless you!
My pleasure sir and thank you for your service. 😊🤙🏻
Thank you so much. The video from Amcrest was useless. While I didn't have to connect via ethernet , I did have to leave the default password during the initial install and then it asked me to change the pw. I had first tried setting my pw during install and it didn't work. Once I resetted and let the admin default pw during install, it worked.
Joe Pen Thanks for the update and I’m glad the video helped you. You may consider subscribing because I have had to use my own video again :)
I just changed my internet service provider from AT&T U-Verse to Comcast Xfinity and had to change my modem. I thought I could just hook all of my ethernet cables to the new Xfinity modem and reconnect my camera. Absolutely not the case. I was just about to buy a new camera, but after watching your video, I'm going to try resetting it tomorrow. The only thing different about my situation is that my camera is power-over-ethernet (POE) instead of outlet power charge, so hopefully that doesn't complicate things. Thanks for the video.
I also have (POE) cameras but they are different models. I had an issue with my DVR that came with my cameras and had to buy a new one to get all my cameras back. Totally different situation but had 4 cameras for outside and now have 8 because I had to buy the DVR with the cameras included. I’m guessing your POE cameras are Amcrest. I hope my process helps with yours. Mine connect immediately when plugged in so no reset necessary. If you want to let us all know how yours goes I’m sure it will help others if they have a similar issue. Thanks for the comment and I hope it works for you :)
Thank you so much this camera setup after getting new router was impossible even after watching their video.
My pleasure Gregg. Glad you were able to get it up and running again. Thanks for the comment as well 👍🏻
It took me 10 Min. to set up after going out of my mind for days! I was ready to get a new camera. Thank you sooooo much...... now how to I hear what is going on :)
beajim10 Tap in the speaker icon on the bottom of the screen. And the mic is if you wanna talk to them. Glad the video helped. Thanks for the feedback 😁👍🏻
@@ITSTHISEASY got it! Thanks.
Thank you very much Sir!
I'm so lucky to have a chance to watch your instructions,
and it solved my issues and saved me a lot of times.
Web Lover I am very glad this helped you. It was my pleasure.
Thanks alot for taking your time and posting this awesome video! You made this a matter of minutes when I had tried for hours to reconnect after connecting a new router.Best video in TH-cam to reconnect your Amcrest security cameras!!!You rock bro!
Amcrest should pay you! I watched their video as many times as you did. It wasn't until I saw your video that I was able to connect -- First try! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you both for your replies. I’m sorry I didn’t say thanks sooner when I look at my videos and comments I just look at the thing that shows a reply. I thought I replied to this but I hadn’t. My pleasure to you both and thanks again for your feedback it makes it all worth the effort 😁👍🏻
I know this an older video but I have to say you are a life saver. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment and so glad it helped. HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎊🎆
Excellent video, worked first time! Thank you.
My pleasure 😊. Thank you for your comment.
Thank you sir: Like others here it tried several times to connect my Amcrest IPM-751 dome camera to a new wifi router. It was driving me nuts. Then I found this video and realized I had to bring the camera to the router...
Here are my saved notes:
We replaced our wifi router and that caused problems. The camera has to be brought to the router and connected via Ethernet cable and a 12v power adapter. The camera’s internal rest button can be pressed for 30 seconds to reset the camera settings. Then power off wait 10 seconds, then power on (red light) wait for blinking then a solid green light. Now run Amcrest app and select install a wifi camera using Ethernet connection… follow prompts to where you can view camera video without Ethernet cable connected.
Now the power can be disconnected. The camera can be tested by reconnecting to power then waiting 2 minutes (for solid green light) now restart the Amcrest app and verify all is working. If error occurs simply restart the Amcrest app (sometimes a connection will simply fail). Okay, then disconnect power, move camera to its actual location and reconnect its power. Again, it takes about 2 minutes for the camera to restart and connect (solid green light). Now restart Amcrest app to view live video. Done.
d church Glad it helped my friend. Nice job with the notes as well. Enjoy and save or subscribe because you WILL need this again. I have used my own video a few times since. 😁👍🏻
Thank you so much spent like 3hrs trying to figure this out
NewbySkill My pleasure I’m glad it helped. Enjoy
Thank you for your video , I was going to throw 2 cameras away , but tried your method and both came to life ! New subscriber 👍
If I had a nickel for everyone I have helped with that video 😁. I’m so glad it helped and thank you for subscribing. You may need that video again in the future. I have used it a few times myself as a refresher when I’ve lost power and the settings didn’t stick. Since you subscribed you may like some of my other videos. I do have one on a new camera I bought and have switched too. I will say the Amcrest is now sitting in a drawer lol.
Thank you!! Like many others, I was about to get rid of it but you helped solve the issue!
Dan Holsinger My pleasure 😊
You are a literal godsend!!! 3 hours I've been trying to figure this out. Thank you so much for this video!!
Your very welcome so glad it helped. 😊
Thanks! I have an amcrest camera and could not make it work for a long while, after getting a new modem. I knew it has to work but how? Found you and followed your instruction on iPad and resetting the device manager on my iPhone , YEY! I got it working now. Great job sharing your valuable knowledge. I need not ask my techie son to do it for me. He’d think his Mama is smart (but you get full credit). Thanks again.
Lovice Medina Hello Lovice. I’m very happy you were able to get your camera up and running by yourself. Kids today are very good with technology for sure but so are we with just a little help. I truly loved the story and thank you for sharing yours with me. That’s one of the best parts about helping people and why I give back if I figure out something difficult. Great job and I’ll keep your secret for sure :)
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I couldn't have done this without you. Yaaaay!! It's working now.
Janae1978 The pleasure is mine. I’m glad it helped you.
You are the man! I was struggling with this cam and now it's working again.
John Carman My pleasure I’m glad it helped you and thanks for the comment. 😁👍🏻

M C My pleasure I’m glad it helped. Best part is I’ve had to use my own video to help myself again. When I left it unplugged for a while it reset so I had to reset it again. I was happy I made the video or back to square one for me as well trying to figure it out. Enjoy
THANK YOU!!! This is EXACTLY what I needed to get my cameras working again with my new router/modem. :)

Tan My pleasure and thank you for the feedback.
God bless you! I was about to throw the damn thing away
chicaguayaca hahahahaha trust me I was as well. I am pretty good with technology and just couldn’t see wasting the money so when I had a lot of time to spare I figured it out. I always make videos to try to give back to those that have helped me on TH-cam as well. Glad I could help enjoy the camera. Subscribe if you would like just incase you have to do this again. Thank you for your comments.
