A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

They’re affordable and ubiquitous, but homeowners shouldn’t be able to act as vigilantes.

Amcrest is what I inherited when I purchases my house. Just know they really don't support their older stuff at all. My NVR is inaccessible from any modern web browser, and Amcrest has no plans to update the firmware (latest version from 2018) AND ignored my questions in email when I wanted to verify the latest firmware for my model number since it didn't appear on their site at all.

That said, the cameras are great and the system works well, its just not as simple compared to newer solutions.

Yeah, Amcrest NVR software sucks. Reliable cameras though.
