Thank you for your reply wittaj. I have egg on my face. I bought a repeater a long while back and routed all the cameras through it and left the other wifi devices connect directly to my router. We must have had a power glitch that scrambled the repeater and I only rebooted the ISP modem and...

I have 2 different model Amcrest IP cameras. They have been working fine for a long time. Today, all of a sudden, none of them can login to the router. These cameras have worked through good and bad weather as well as hot an cold weather. I deleted one camera and tried to add it back but it is...

Thanks Jack7, Yes, I have 5 cameras, all wifi. Only 4 are for surveillance. I have pondered the idea of the hidden hard-wired NVR so that remains a strong possibility. The biggest drawback is hard work to get power and network cable to the hidden location. :secret: One of my cameras is...

I may have the wrong idea but I really don't have any video content to 'hide' so there are no privacy issues for me. I totally believe that off site (well outside of the home in my case) is the ONLY answer. If someone did "bad things" to my home, like rob it or some malicious mischief, I want...

Wow, I didn't think that P2P was going through some foreign cloud, I thought it was just a network communications protocol. I doubt that Amcrest is giving me free cloud service without me even signing up for it or paying anything. As far as "reasonable idea". Since I have nothing to hide but...

I installed a camera for maintenance reasons in my crawlspace and found out I can be anywhere, even miles away and still view my crawlspace. I was impressed but confused and concerned. I thought it was only accessible from my personal wifi but I guess not. If I'm in a town 20 miles away and...

Had to give up and do the factory reset. Makes sense now as I think of it. :brainfart:

Update... I was mistaken. I still cannot access the camera from the two software programs where I changed the password manually (by typing it in) but I am still able to access it using the "SmartPSS" software which was installed and configured before the F/W update. Unfortunately I do not...

I installed the latest F/W this morning via the web interface which I accessed through the "Web" option in Amcrest Surveillance Pro software. The camera rebooted and I accessed it from the Amcrest Surveillance Pro software afterwards. I could see that the F/W was updated to the correct version...

Interesting. Are there any tricks to flashing the TM-AC1900 with the RT-AC68U firmware? I ask because some firmware updates check the model they are flashing before writing the new F/W so you don't brick the device.

Hey, where'd you get a pic of me??? Are you snooping my WiFi? :wow:

------------------------------- Looks secure to me, at least for the hardwired interface. I'll be shaping a tinfoil hat for Wifi jamming :lol: !

mat200, J Sigmo, & Southern Yankee, I guess I've been out of the field for too long. I downloaded OpenVPN installed it and immediately got lost. So, for the time being, I have uninstalled it. I looked at the sample server and client config files and they were over my head for now. I will...

------------------------------------------------------- mat200, I actually used the site that you referenced and did not see your link. I was not familiar with how the links show up at this forum and that is my only excuse, albeit a poor one. Mea Culpa. Also, thanks for the Telnet port...
