7. Amcrest View App Setup
The Amcrest View app grants instant access to all live camera streams from any location. This is
the primary application most users prefer when using Amcrest systems. The app supports a
multitude of features and includes both a plug-and-play setup as well as a manual network setup.
For purposes of this guide, we will use Amcrest View Pro, which is free on both the App Store
and Play Store.
Before accessing the DVR through the app using the easy plug-and-play method (P2P Setup),
confirm that P2P is enabled on the DVR. This feature should be enabled by default.
Enabling P2P on the DVR
1. Log into your DVR console’s built-in interface using the DVR login credentials.
