I use these all over for outdoor home surveillence and this is after using both d-link and wansview outdoor cameras.

Theres 2 ways to fix this
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
One is to set up a separate ftp account with a different home directory and just accept that inside your 34garage34 folder that youll have a folder with a random string

The other option is to factory reset your camera get amcrest to send you a link to 2016 firmware downgrade factory reset again change the hostname and upgrade
