Amcrest IP Config software can be installed for free onto your computer from Amcrest’s official website.
The IP Config software is available for both Windows and Mac operating systems. To get to the downloads
page please visit: https://amcrest.com/downloads
After you have downloaded the Amcrest IP config software, please follow the information provided below:
1. Once you see the first page of the installer wizard, click Next to continue.
2. On the next page, check the box next to ‘I agree’, then click Install.
3. After the progress bar completes, if you see a Windows Security Alert popup, click Allow access (if
applicable).
4. This brings you to the main screen of the Amcrest IP Config Software. Your NVR will automatically be
found on your network and appear in the list (if properly connected with an Ethernet cable to your router).
You will also see the IP address associated with your NVR.
The ‘e’ icon to the right allows you to launch directly into your web browser from this screen.
Built-in Interface Method
1. Log into your NVR. The live view interface will load.
2. Left-click on the main video wall screen to access the Main Menu, or right-click and choose it from the
list.
3. Click the Network option located in the Management section of the interface.
4. In the Network settings page locate the TCP/IP option on the left panel list. Then, locate where it says
IP Address on the main center page of the window.
5. Write it down. It will look something like ‘192.168.xx.xxx’, or ’10.0.XX.XXX’ depending on your network,
router, or service provider.
Note: It does not matter what your IP address looks like, however, the IP address is needed to access the
NVR from a web browser. If DHCP is enabled, it is highly recommended to disable it to allow the device to
maintain a static IP address. This will help to increase the overall efficiency and security of your device.
To access the web user interface (web UI) for your NVR, open a web browser and type the IP
address for your NVR into the browser and press Enter. This will pull up the device initialization
screen. Set a location, language and video standard then click Next to continue.
Choose your Time Zone and System Time then click Next to continue.
Enter Password
Like accessing the NVR directly, if you are accessing the NVR for the first time you will need to
enter a password for the device. Enter a password. Click Next to continue.
Next, it is recommended to secure your NVR with an Email address and security questions. The
Email address entered can be used for password recovery purposes in case a password is
forgotten or needs to be reset.
