    • The software on the Amcrest is definitely better
    • Will return and try a Nest product or similar (unfortunately more expensive) name brand which should have more intuitive software.
    • Works pretty good, just buggy software.
    • Works pretty good, just buggy software.
    • The cameras work great but the software is almost impossible to set up
    • (the Amcrest software is literal garbage, just through the CD away and don't waste your time).
    • Bottom line is, the software is unreliable and unprofessional and the build is poorly thought through
    • The manufacturer's software is garbage
    • This Camera is Awesome!First, addressing all who say the Software is not very good; you haven't used bad software yet
    • Despite my misgivings about the software, I'll keep these cameras, hoping that Amcrest will clean up its software very soon.
    • Cameras seem to work, eventually, but the software and app are not worth the hassle
    • software is terrible
    • When calling the tech support group multiple times I was told their software was being worked on and not working.
    • The TOTAL package for the buck (website, hardware, app, alerts, cloud, and security)- Sleek hardware.- Solid performance.- Intuitive Software.- Appealing brand, marketing, and presentation
    • Difficult to use and the software is clumsy to set up.
    • Software wise, Amcrest does a good job helping user to setup
    • The Amcrest Surveillance Pro software is horrible
    • The software is a bit confusing, but offers a lot of options.
    • I would like to give Amcrest another try, but I don't like wasting my time on bad software and poor quality hardware.
    • He also didn't just get it working well, he helped me set it up so that I can have the benefit of many features of the available free software (Surveillance Pro) that I would not have otherwise been aware.
    • The software makes this completely unusable so the hardware quality doesn't matter.
    • The software is very comprehensive, anything you would want to do with one or more cameras can be done
    • I bought the $59 Blue Iris software and things started to go smoothly and this software could handle my other cameras as well
    • Very helpful support - Great cameraThe desktop software is difficult to use but I got good technical support from the company
    • Your software is crap but who cares because most serious folks are going to get real working software like Blue Iris that is excellent and gives you real security
    • Software is a joke!
    • THE SOFTWARE DOES NOT WORK ON ANDROID DEVICES (SMARTPHONES AND TABLETS) IN MY EXPERIENCE.
    • Even if it worked, the software is extremely suspect.
    • Install and Software Terrible and TECH NO-HELP don't speak
    • Despite these cameras being top notch, the software is AWFUL
    • Strangely, if power were cycled or lost the Playback software would not be able to find previous motion recordings
    • Even if it worked, the software is extremely suspect.
    • The software is absolutely horrible and not user friendly.
    • Cons; software has a mind
    • Terrible software
    • but the software kills it
    • The camera works great but the software could use some work
    • Good looking camera, but the software is not user friendly
    • I am hopeful that they continue with great software and customer support.
    • After installing the surveillance pro software, my computers task bar froze
    • Software is very easy to use with a lot of the setup being automated like the cloud recording and wireless setup for example
    • good camera but software is just ok and setup is not easy.
    • The software offers much flexibility with motion detection, scheduling, alarms, ...Video can be saved on an SD chip on the camera, on my desktop computer hard drive, and "in the cloud."I was able to set the camera up so that I could view live, and record when there is motion detected
    • The software is pretty clunky, but usable.
    • After I received my refund, I purchased again same model and installed again, it works but I cant let it work on my laptop, I installed software and plug-ins but there is something wrong that I can't it work, so I decided to call amcrest costumer service and
    • I found the software complex and finicky.
    • Picture quality is still good day and night, need to improve them software so customers won't have to call tech support so often
    • The software is not easy for the novice, but they have a great staff that will help you all the way.
    • The software needs an update as well
    • This Camera is Awesome!First, addressing all who say the Software is not very good; you haven't used bad software yet
    • The software is complex and hard to use and I'm a tech guy
    • Works pretty good, just buggy software.
    • The software of this unit is poor
    • Decent software and reasonable range
    • Very easy to setup and the Amcrest Pro View software works just fine for my needs
    • Armcrest software is quirky, but stable.
    • Dylan gave excellent software support and helped reset the camera as the IP address had changed
    • Very cumbersome software
    • And they come with excellent software.
    • Software setup and installation; that part didn't work as well as I expected, scanning the code and trying to get the camera into the Amcrest iPhone app didn't work for me.
    • The bottom line: If you have only Amcrest cameras, and are happy with using their (terrible) software, and have very good wifi signal strength, and don't need to do anything but connect to your home wifi, then this is a good camera for the price
    • crystal clear, great software, great hardware
    • The software is absolute garbage.
    • Confusing software
    • Amcrest has horrible software and support.
    • If you can afford a little more, the 4 Megapixel camera might be recommended, but this works awesome compared to all the systems I have ever worked with, including NetGears ArloCam (won't allow automated download, store in cloud for 1 month only), Bunker Hill/NightOwl and 14 others (major software compatibility and stability issues, as well
    • The software for the cameras is very complex and took me a while to navigative through it all, but tech support has always been able to answer my questions.
    • The software is ridiculously inefficient and the website is neither intuitive nor does it function as it should.
    • : I could only get this camera to record with Blue Iris, the Amcrest software was crap - never got it to work with Windows 10, Mac Pro 10.x, or the app for my iPhone (iPhone would give live pic
    • The software is fairly intuitive but you gotta have some basic networking skills to make sure everything is setup correctly
    • and I'm continually disappointed that Foscam puts ZERO effort into developing contemporary, easy-to-use, intuitive software
    • The software is unfinished.
    • The software to control/view/playback from both the web interface and mobile interface are excellent and easy to use
    • The software is pretty clunky, but usable.
    • some inexpensive Chinese made generic cameras, hire someone to slap together some software that works on iOS and Andriod and Whalla
    • Software improvement for date and time stamp, updates, alarm settings etc
    • As some people already mentioned the camera is OK but the software is horrible
    • It would be nice if Amcrest would step back and take the endless feedback that folks have provided about the lackluster software and develop a user friendly system
    • This camera allows direct connection via IP and if you really hate their software you can use your own
    • If you can afford a little more, the 4 Megapixel camera might be recommended, but this works awesome compared to all the systems I have ever worked with, including NetGears ArloCam (won't allow automated download, store in cloud for 1 month only), Bunker Hill/NightOwl and 14 others (major software compatibility and stability issues, as well
    • The software is very intense and you will need a little time learning how to use it
    • The included software is also very good.
    • I quickly learned their software is useless and therefore the camera becomes useless to us
    • Basically thes are cheap chinese cams with bad chinese software on top
    • AND MY CHEAP-O ROUTER ACTUALLY HAS THE BEST SIGNAL TO EACH CAMERA
    • The last two pics are in a location where it really shines as it makes full use of the extra vertical resolution
    • Connectivity was easy physically as well as with the amcrest app
    • I understood what he was doing and how to fix my wifi connection,, as well as, how to manage it and set up on my mobile devices.
    • so now I can view from my android as well as on my computer,,,,thanks,,,,,,,,,,,awesome camera very clear with great picture!!!
    • IF.......you follow the directions to a 'T', and I mean Exactly as they recommend, you should be OK
