4.3 Amcrest View App Setup
Amcrest cameras enable access through the use of the Amcrest View app on either iOS or Android mobile
operating systems. There are two versions of the app, Amcrest View Lite, and Amcrest View Pro. Amcrest View
(Lite or Pro) on the App Store or Play Store. The Pro version contains features such as push notifications, sharing
video and image files, exporting video in MP4 format, and exporting image files to your phone. The Amcrest Pro
version of the app is now free to download from the Play Store and App Store.

your camera, as well as instructions on how to configure different settings on your camera such as motion
detection and email alerts. Every major app setup method will be covered in the following sections.
