4.3.4 P2P Setup 
 
The P2P Setup method is the method that should always be used to add a camera to more devices (smartphones, 
tablets, using the Amcrest View app) after the initial WiFi Configuration setup method has been followed and 
completed on the first device using the app.  
 
Alternatively, this method can also be used as a first, initial, setup method if preferred. However, please note that, 
if this is used as a first method, a hardwired (Ethernet) connection must be used and your camera will not be 
added to your WiFi network by the end of the app setup alone (like in the WiFi Configuration setup method). 
Instead, in this case, the camera must be added to WiFi separately, for instance, through desktop access (see 
section 4.4 Desktop access setup below).  
 
 
1. This setup method should only be used if the camera is already connected to the Internet via WiFi or Ethernet 
cable. Use this setup method when you need to add the camera to additional mobile devices. Download the 
Amcrest View Pro app from the App Store or Play Store, then open the app.  
 
 
 
 
 
  
2. From the home screen, tap the icon in the top 
right corner to open the Device List. 
3. Tap the Add Device button.

Note: Move the 
camera or the 
phone to ensure 
that the entire 
QR code is visible 
and focused in 
the frame. In 
case the QR code 
cannot be 
scanned, please 
tap Enter S/N 
Manually to 
enter in the 
camera’s serial 
number. 
 
6. Scan the QR code from the sticker on your 
camera.

Number) is entered correctly, then tap Next.

future, you can always access the walkthrough again by opening the

4.3.6 Motion detection setup 
Setting up motion detection for the ProHD camera through the Amcrest View app will allow you to choose how 
your camera will react to and record motion. This is the best way to record events that are particularly of interest 
without needing to waste storage space by constantly recording. However, you can have motion detection set up 
along with 24/7 recording. The motion recordings will overlap the regular recordings and classify each motion-
triggered recording as a motion event for your convenience when searching.  
There are a lot of customization options for motion detection that can be configured directly through the app. This 
gives you complete control over how to make motion detection work the way you want it to.    
Here is a list of all the advanced configuration options for motion detection: 
 Schedule: Modify motion detection recording timings. 
 Anti-Dither: Set how long motion detection can still be triggered after motion stops. 
 Sensitivity: Select motion detection sensitivity.  
 Region Setting: Specify motion detecting regions of the screen.  
 Record: Toggle this switch to start recording when motion is detected. 
 Delay: Set how long motion detection recording will continue after a motion event. 
 Alarm Out: Configure alarm system integration.  
 Snapshot: Toggle this switch to take snapshot when motion is detected. 
Follow the steps below to setup motion detection on your camera.  
  1. From the home screen, tap the icon in the 
top left corner to open the main menu. 
2. Tap Configuration Center to open the 
Configuration Center.

  3. Tap Motion Detect to open the motion

motion detection settings for. 
  
5. By default, motion detection is enabled. To 
configure advanced settings, tap the toggle 
switch in the Advanced Config row. 
6. From this screen, you can modify the settings 
to fine tune how you use motion detection.
