A static IP address is extremely smart for users who want to set up a new device. A static IP address for an Amcrest device helps keep the connection stable for long periods of time, keeps the transference of data efficient and fast, and allows users to consistently access their device in remote areas.  The static IP address can either be installed through an Ethernet cable or a WiFi connection. Users can decide if they want to assign an IP address through physical or connectivity methods.  There is an easy procedure that users can do to set a static IP or IP address to Amcrest: 1. Open the Amcrest Smart Home app on your device (smartphone, iPad, etc.)  2. Click on ‘Settings’ (the button that looks like a wheel) 3. Click on ‘Device Information  4. Click on ‘IP Address’ bar — this is the 7th row above the ‘Firmware’ bar and below the ‘MAC Address’ bar 5. Click on the ‘Wireless IP’ field and enter the IP address  6. Click on the ‘Check’ icon on the upper right-hand corner of the screen
