Rename Each Camera to its own name in “Array”

[sandbug778]

Okay, I got a few IP Amcrest cameras, and got to name each one as its own name, then I got this and added eight more cameras.

Amcrest ProHD 1080P 8CH Video Security System - Eight 2.1-Megapixel (1920TVL) Outdoor IP67 Bullet Cameras, 2TB HDD, Night Vision, Remote Smartphone Access, Black Mid (AMDV10808M-8B-B)

All the cameras on the box are called ‘Array’. How can I name each one it’s own name for easy location identification as the other IP cameras?

Thanks!

Hello and Welcome to the forum

In truth your best bet would be to log into the DVR VIA WebUI (The DVR's IP address) and on each of the channels make the change there.. However if your not able to because your not Local to the Device and won't be for a while Then you could always DL and install the Amcrest Surveillance Pro Desktop app. In the App you will want to click Devices, then click + (Add) Then in Connection type click SN and then you will want to put in the SN of the DVR, The user name, then pass code for the DVR. Once it comes online at the top click on Device CFG and then click the DVR. Then click on the Camera, Encode then click Overlay. Then you can make the changes to the name in the name box, (CLick Apply and it won't close click save it will close) the encoding box so click apply then channel drop down click and pick 2 and repeat until you have all your cameras named...
