Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The built in mic is very handy. Audio recording provides greater situational context in surveillance applications.

There is a great booklet that is a quick setup guide that had a lot of helpful instructions. The user interface is easy to use, even for those who aren't tech savvy. It also works great with their app.

This is my first experience with a fisheye camera. The detached garage has multiple windows, as well as entrances on the front back, and side. It's fairly compact for something that gets the entire room and the colors don't make it such a standout.

Amcrest makes sturdy well designed cameras. The picture quality is clear, the footprint is small, and it's simple to mount. The quality is spectacular and the night vision is top notch. It really does fill the entire room with ir pretty well.

Single shot overview is so helpful when you use a dvr that can sync the timelines of multiple cameras. It has a microsd card for local back up in case something happens to your dvr storage. And lastly, this camera has digital io pins!

Cons

The problem is that's it's practically useless. In order to view the footage, it needs to be dewarpped. Saved video is useless. Only top view.
