Amazon Alexa and Amcrest Cloud allow users to play live video from their Amcrest security cameras right to their Echo Show, Echo Spot, Fire TV, Fire TV Stick or Fire Tablets (Gen 7 and above) (excluding Fire HD 10). Foscam cameras are not supported.
You must be registered with Amcrest Cloud in order to use the Amcrest Cloud skill with Alexa. You can sign up for an Amcrest Cloud account by visiting https://amcrest.com/cloud and selecting a plan.
To make Alexa aware of your cameras, you must first create an Amcrest Cloud account and add your camera.
For more information on how to setup an Amcrest Cloud account please visit: https://amcrest.com/cloudsetup
Then, in the Alexa app, search for the Amcrest Cloud skill and select the “Enable Skill” button to link your Amcrest Cloud account with your Alexa account. Once that is done, simply ask Alexa to discover your devices.
“Alexa, discover my devices”
For more information on the setup process, please see the link to the video below:
https://amcrest.com/alexa
You can then ask Alexa to play video from any of your cloud connected Amcrest cameras, simply by using the camera's name as it was setup in Amcrest Cloud.
Some example commands include:
"Alexa, show my front door camera." "Alexa, show my business camera." "Alexa, show my pet camera."
Note: If you choose to rename your camera, the camera's name must be changed within the Amcrest Cloud app or https://www.amcrestcloud.com. Your cameras must be rediscovered by Alexa before you can see them again.
For help with your Amcrest Camera or with your Amcrest cloud account please contact Amcrest directly at support@amcrest.com.
