Amcrest Technologies — 4 prefixes (MA-L ×3, MA-M ×1)

A MAC address beginning with 00:65:1E, 9C:8E:CD, A0:60:32, or 34:46:63:2 belongs to Amcrest Technologies, typically seen on IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), digital video recorders (DVRs), and video doorbells sold under the Amcrest brand.

Amcrest is a Houston, TX-registered security and surveillance equipment maker/distributor. It holds four distinct IEEE MAC-block assignments — three MA-L (24-bit) blocks plus one smaller MA-M (28-bit) block — which is more allocations than a shell registrant typically carries, and points to an actively-shipping hardware vendor rather than a one-off registration.

Independent corroboration comes from vulnerability research: multiple named CVEs (including CVE-2020-5735, CVE-2017-8229, CVE-2017-8227, CVE-2017-8228, CVE-2019-3948, and CVE-2024-12984) document remotely-exploitable flaws in Amcrest-branded IP cameras, NVRs, and DVRs, tying the vendor name to a real, actively-researched consumer/SMB surveillance hardware line.

A secondary claim that Amcrest was founded by former Foscam Digital Technologies staff and that its cameras are manufactured by ShenZhen Foscam is unverified — it traces to a Quora post, not a primary source, and could not be confirmed against amcrest.com or Crunchbase in this pass. It is recorded here only as Unknown, not asserted.

IEEE registration date

Unknown — IEEE's public OUI/MAM data carries no assignment date column; any third-party "date registered" (e.g. maclookup.app: 2016-04-01, 2022-11-11, 2023-04-26, 2024-05-21) is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact [Confirmed] — https://maclookup.app/vendors/amcrest-technologies

possible Foscam (ShenZhen Foscam Intelligent Technology) manufacturing/founding link [Unknown] — unverified, single secondary (Quora) source only

Analyst note

four distinct OUI/MAM assignments plus a multi-year, multi-CVE vulnerability-research trail on Amcrest-branded hardware together establish this as a genuine, actively-shipping surveillance-equipment vendor rather than a bare shell registration.
