Dahua is the OEM for Amcrest. I have confirmed this. AAMOF, Dahua OEMs for a very large market of camera vendors. So the problems mentioned in the article published 08 Oct 2016, would be applicable to a large part of that market.
That said, our cameras are isolated to their on subnet which, in turn, is isolated from any internet access of any sort.
My issue with Amcrest was pretty strictly tech support. The OEM vendor I have purchased my second Dahua camera from exhibits the same general issue, although they are definitely trying hard to handle my requests. I think the real issue is that Dahua does not provide support for its OEM equipment beyond whatever spec. they are provided by the vendor. In every situation there appears to be no path back to the folks writing the firmware.
I have been able to unpack the camera firmware and mount up the *nix file system. So it would seem possible to fix some of the issues assuming they are not hardware issues. I'll probably not go that route simply due to the time and effort involved.
