What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The camera uses dhcp by default and my nvr ( exacqvision pro) found it with no problems. Fairly easy to use poe ip camera. Easy to install if you are using a hikvision (or compatible) dvr/nvr.
Cons
Software on the anpvizsecurity site is unusable. The stream is just inaccessible. Vendor handles inventory for this item, and they put the returned item back into stock. Contacted the seller and refuse to refund.
This camera is a nightmare to try and get configured. Most cameras come with a static ip that you can just access with your web browser to manage. Not this camera. It uploads all of its data to the cloud and there is no way to turn that off.

The other day while playing around with the camera settings i found that by using variable bit rate vbr instead of constant bit rate cbr and cameras operated without any problems
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I do not know why cbr would cause the restarts and freezing but at least it seems that i have a reliable stream now
