Trying to hit an Amcrest camera ASH42-B with a browser and getting 404 not found. I am able to connect via BI and see the camera no problems. (So Far) new... Other than using Amcrest IP Config, is there a way to make changes via browser? Also, anyone try changing the firmware on this cam to a Dahua?
404 Not Found and Amcrest setup via browser.

It's cloud-only tech, plastic housing, not even POE-capable.
I'd send it back and get their Starlight, 4K 8 MP , POE, metal housing bullet #IP8M-2496EB for $20 more.
