4.5 Amcrest Cloud Setup
The Amcrest IP3M-956/IPM-751 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.

4.6 Web Access Setup (AmcrestView.com)
You can access your camera through a computer using the P2P web portal AmcrestView.com for quick plug-
andplay 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.
