Amcrest Cameras not connecting through Echo Show [SOLVED]
-
I have an Amcrest IP2M-841 B that I have configured through Monocle to be pulled up on my Echo Show 5. I have gone through every step of your troubleshooting guide and tested the RTSP camera stream on VLC Media Player successfully. But I cannot get my Echo Show to pull up the camera…whenever I try the command, Alexa responds with “Camera isn’t responding”. I am at a complete loss and don’t know what to do to get this properly working.

Have you installed and are using the Monocle Gateway?

Thank you…That’s what it was. I apologize, when looking at the specific camera model it said that it doesn’t require the Gateway Service, I didn’t think about it from the Echo Show perspective.

Glad to hear that was the only issue :-)
