User Reviews
Amcrest View Pro 2 offers a modern UI and faster camera loading, along with improved push notifications over its predecessor. However, many users report critical issues including frequent timeouts causing live and playback streams to fail, unreliable remote connections, and push notifications showing incorrect or repeated clips. Playback is often unstable, and usability problems such as poor multi-view handling and cumbersome controls remain. Overall, while the app has improved interface and initial setup, its core functionality and remote reliability need significant enhancement.
Pros
- Improved user interface compared to the original version, providing a more modern feel.
- Faster camera connection and loading times, especially when starting the app or switching between cameras.
- Push notifications functionality works better than the original app, making it easier to receive alerts.
- Supports easy auto-discovery and setup of cameras, simplifying initial configuration.
- Better multi-camera support and ability to add more cameras compared to the original app.
Cons
- Frequent timeouts and short timeout durations lead to live stream or playback failing to load, especially over remote connections.
- Push notifications often show incorrect or repeated clips, or do not take the user to the relevant event when tapped.
- Playback functionality is unreliable; recorded videos often fail to load or stop prematurely.
- App frequently disconnects from cameras or NVR when not on the home network, making remote monitoring unreliable.
- User interface still has usability issues such as difficulty seeking specific playback times, buggy multi-view loading, and confusing controls.
