4.6 Amcrest Cloud Setup
Amcrest POE PTZ 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 Over Ethernet (POE) jack on your router or switch using an ethernet cable (1
cable included in the box). Wait 30 seconds for the camera to start-up and initialize.
2. 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”.
3. 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.
