Copy IP3M-943B camera settings to new cellphone?

[rider89]

Is there a way to copy the cam setup from an old cellphone to a new one? Or do I need to scan the cam body barcode and do the rest of the setup again with the new phone (the cam is not all that easy to get at now)

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Assuming that you're using Amcrest View Pro on your cell phone and are adding the camera via device manager/add device/wifi camera/wifi configuration setup then you see the QR scanner to get the camera code. Here you can instead enter the camera's serial number manually (the link is at the bottom of the page).

You can get the serial number in various ways without going to the camera. In Amcrest Surveillance Pro the number is listed for all your connected cameras on the "Devices" tab. In the web user interface which you can call up by entering the IP address of your camera and logging in, the serial number is shown in the information/version page.

An alternative might be to use the option in Amcrest View Pro/device manager which is at the bottom of the screen to "Import Amcrest View.com Device" by logging in with your registered username/password. I'm not sure how well this works as I've never used it.
