en | Amcrest software is dated by 15 years. A workaround is to use Microsoft Edge and put it in Internet Explorer compatibility mode. |

en | Complete joke, only works on chrome OS... no intention for them to make it work in chrome browser like it used to... don't buy cameras from these guys. Get some from a reputable manufacturer that will not force obsolescence on you. |

en | This works OK in chromeOS & I do wish it worked in Chrome browser. Frankly, for my needs logging. into the PTZ camera via the IP address and having a second window open to view the steaming video via Amcrest cloud works ok. I can adjsut PTZ and other camera settings with my browser via the direct camera login and see the results in a 5-ish second delay in the cloud viewer open in a second camera. I like my Ring system at home way better but vs. the older Arlo cameras just don't have the full features I need and this camera bridges that until the day I can put in a coherent system. This camera and its features is more like a value-priced camera that works like my "Axis" system in use elsewhere without the ability to publish the video stream to a 'google site' the way my Axis system and it's in-camera video viewer allows me to do with Chrome. |

en | Down below in these comments you will find a IE extension for chrome that at least lets you view live video. However one cannot playback videos or change the settings. The best i have been able to do is use ip address to log into the app via chrome browser. Once there you can change settings of the camera but cannot view video. Next i use the IE extension in a separate tab to view live video. Finally i use Blue Iris to store and access video via Blue iris settings but cannot actually control the camera with Blue Iris. Between the 3 of these it works for my existing camera but i wont be buying amcrest again ever in the future. My Amcrest camera is one of the top tier high end cameras they have and worked great for 4 years. Amcrest knows very well their app is no longer supported on chrome. The chrome app is the only one of there apps that allows you to live view, change settings, and view recorded videos. There customer service purposely runs you in circles knowing there is no solution. That's not hyperbole that's policy. They really have abandoned there product and only exist now to sell off what they have left in stock. Refund if you just bought and go with another company. There is no solution. |

en | Actually really bad. Do not give them any money. If you already bought a camera, find a way to refund it. Chat support is also garbage. |

en | Does not work. Amcrest is garbage. Used to work until they stopped supporting IE/Edge. The Google Chrome extension never works. Will never purchase Amcrest again. It's clearly a known issue they're aware of and they will not fix. |
