I have this camera almost nine years...I think... Indoor... It works until now... You have the configuration through any browser and live view from the mobile app...

The Amcrest config utility will run on Brave but the live view doesn't work. You can program the camera and use Blue Iris for the live view.

Not running on anything but ChromeOS is a joke. Too bad, this used to be a good camera.

Amcrest software is dated by 15 years. A workaround is to use Microsoft Edge and put it in Internet Explorer compatibility mode.

Complete joke, only works on chrome OS... no intention for them to make it work in chrome browser like it used to... don't buy cameras from these guys. Get some from a reputable manufacturer that will not force obsolescence on you.

I can adjsut PTZ and other camera settings with my browser via the direct camera login and see the results in a 5-ish second delay in the cloud viewer open in a second camera. I like my Ring system at home way better but vs. the older Arlo cameras just don't have the full ... Show more

Down below in these comments you will find a IE extension for chrome that at least lets you view live video. However one cannot playback videos or change the settings.

Next i use the IE extension in a separate tab to view live video. Finally i use Blue Iris to store and access video via Blue iris settings but cannot actually control ... Show more

Actually really bad. Do not give them any money. If you already bought a camera, find a way to refund it. Chat support is also garbage.
