User Reviews

Users praise Amcrest Smart Home for easy setup, reliable alerts, and straightforward video viewing, with an inexpensive cloud option. However, repeated login/log-out problems, app bugs, and fragmentation across multiple apps hurt usability. Several reviews note mandatory cloud/account requirements and password-manager friction, plus inconsistent playback and full-screen limits. Overall, Amcrest Smart Home works for basic monitoring, but reliability, cross-device usability, and sign-in experience need significant improvement.

Pros

Easy to view recorded videos and receive motion alerts.
Dependable performance with easy navigation and fast video viewing.
Inexpensive cloud service option.
Easy setup and generally reliable for property monitoring.

Cons

Frequent sign-in/sign-out and password/ID issues; the app often logs users out.
Bugs and reliability problems, plus the need to use two separate apps for different cameras.
Forces account creation and cloud dependence, plus password manager friction.
Inconsistent video playback or full-screen view limitations.

Recent reviews

Great way to view recorded videos and get alerts when you have movement on your Amcrest cameras. It’s be nice to have a seekbar when viewing playing back recorded videos. Another nice feature would be to link two or more cameras together when one of them is triggered to record to get another point of view when one camera isn’t active because an object is out of the current motion zone but will be within the next 5-10 seconds.

I’ve been an Amcrest View Pro user for many years and was disappointed that the Amcrest Smart Home didn’t integrate with the pro version. I don’t like having to use two apps to monitor cameras at home. Video quality for the smart home is also not quite as good. And for whatever reason, it refuses to remember my password even though I’ve got the Face ID verification setting on. Very frustrating.
