4.5 Amcrest Cloud Setup   

The Amcrest IP3M-943/IPM-723 cameras are able to sync with Amcrest Cloud; a service that stores recorded video 

streams in order to enable long-term storage. Amcrest Cloud also allows the user to easily find and download 
recorded video for playback from any internet connected PC or Mac computer.   

1.

 

Connect the camera to a power supply using the included power adapter.   

2.

 

Connect the camera to the internet, either through a wired connection (see section 3.1), or through WiFi (see 
section 4.2)   

3.

 

Using a web browser on your PC or Mac, visit 

www.amcrest.com/cloud

 and register for a free account. Once 

registered, click the “Add Camera” button. Select “Amcrest”, give the camera a name, and enter the camera’s 
SN (located on the bottom of the camera), then click “Next”.  

 

4.

 

On the settings page, you can adjust optional preferences for your camera. Once settings have been adjusted, 

click “Finish”. Your camera is now successfully set up for cloud access and storage.  

 

5.

 

View your camera live or watch recorded clips using the menu button on the top of the page. You can also use 
the Amcrest Cloud app on iOS and Android to add more cameras, play recordings, and view your camera live, 
from anywhere.   

6.

 

For additional assistance, please contact us at www.amcrest.com or give us a call at 1-888-212-7538. Step by

4.6 Web Access Setup (AmcrestView.com)  

 

You can access your camera through a computer using the P2P web portal 

AmcrestView.com

 for quick 

plugandplay access. It uses the same technology as the Amcrest View mobile app and is an easy, non-technical 
setup method.    

There are 2 methods of accessing your camera using AmcrestView.com: the 

user

 

method 

(registering an account 

for login), and the 

device

 

method 

(instant direct access using the serial number).   

Both of these methods require that the Amcrest 

browser plugin

 be installed for AmcrestView.com.    

4.6.1 Installing the AmcrestView.com browser plugin
