Possible to change camera on free cloud service?

[GreenScrew]

I started with a single camera IP2M-841B and after about a month with it I became familiar and content enough with the services and capabilities that I bought 3 more cameras. I'd like one of the new ones to be linked to the "free" cloud service but can't find any way in the interface to change it. Is it possible?

I will add that I'd happily add all three cameras to the pay cloud service but at $18/mo it just seems to pricey. I can get everything I need without the service, but I do like it for the easy notification and web access without needing a plug-in (which I can't use at work as out IT department blocks it). I would strongly advocate for a multi-camera 1-day service at $2/camera (1 day is 1/7th the storage needs at a cost that is 1/3 of the 7 day plan so Amcrest should come out ahead). I would sign up for this in a heartbeat for the added convenience of the cloud service but at 3x that price the SD storage is perfectly fine. BTW, as my purchase history shows, I'm quite pleased with the product!

Hello GreenScrew ,

Thank you for the feedback and I will pass this on to the concerned department. But for the time being, you will have to delete camera from the cloud account to add another camera. Or else you need to sign up for a different account.

Melvin, thanks for your response! What you suggest is EXACTLY what I'd like to do. However, if it wasn't clear, for the life of me I can't see anywhere in the interface where the camera can be 'deleted' in order to add a different one. Can you explain how this can be done?

Hello GreenScrew,

To delete a camera from cloud, login to the cloud interface from PC and then on the recordings page, click on the arrow next to the camera name on the bottom left and select delete.

Thanks Melvin, can't say how many times I looked at that drop down and just never saw the delete option. A note to others that may happen upon this thread, it appears you must have physical access (or port forwarding set up) in order to add a new camera to the cloud service. The camera can only be added within 2 hours of being restarted.

In my case, I've decided to take the 7-day service plunge for now and I'll see what I think about having all 3 cameras connected via the cloud despite having large SD card recording capability that is readily accessible through the very nice Amcrest View tools.

Hello GreenScrew,

The delete option is on the arrow on the bottom left on the recordings page. Please refer the attached image.

Very helpful, thanks, i couldn't find the delete camera option either!
