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


Ever since their 2017 firmware was released, there is a bug where some cameras will not allow you to edit the device's name.

    This means you cant store images from this product in a directory with the name of where its located like 34garage34 etc

    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

    Its great that this can be worked around but releasing a modern firmware with a fix would be even better
