Thanks! It's good to hear!

Does anybody know, what format is used by IP4M-1055E for files stored on FTP server?

How to check which models support which file formats?

This was my first Amcrest camera and it looks like it will be the last. Keep up the great work!

We are in the process of updating the device firmware that will enable recording videos in MP4 format. This was over a year ago! I just bought a IP2M-844E model and I mostly like it. Except ...
