Text User Interface (TUI)

Configure amcrest.conf and trigger amcrest-tui, make sure the user triggering amcrest-tui have access to framebuffer device or use sudo.

NOTE: Execute it from console logins, like /dev/ttyX (Non X Window). Pseudo-terminals like xterm, ssh, screen and others WONT WORK.

$ vim ~/.config/amcrest.conf
[patio]
hostname: 192.168.0.20
username: admin
password: 123456
port: 80

[living_room]
hostname: 192.168.0.21
username: admin
password: secret
port: 80
