8. Amcrest View Web Portal Setup
You can access your DVR through a computer using the P2P web portal AmcrestView.com for
quick plug-and-play access. It uses the same technology as the Amcrest View mobile app and is
an easy, non-technical setup method.
There are 2 methods of accessing your DVR using AmcrestView.com: the user method
(registering an account for login), and the device method (instant direct access using the serial
number).
Both methods require that the Amcrest browser plugin be installed for AmcrestView.com.
