Amcrest Cloud Notice

Post by moondawgie8 »

I have a privacy/security concern about providing my camera's username/password credentials within my Cloud settings based upon the message I'm seeing after I login to the Cloud recently. It mentions it's to ensure firmware etc. is updated, but not making much sense to me. Can Melvin or anybody else help explain why we need to do this and why I shouldn't be concerned about my privacy????

**Notice: After December 15, 2016 all cameras connected to Amcrest Cloud will require the camera's username and password to continue operating on the service. Please edit your camera below and supply your camera's credentials.

Hello moondawgie8 ,

The username and password was made mandatory keeping in mind the security of our customers. The username and password are encrypted and gives better security to the users.
