Pros & Cons

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

Pros

The camera provides a beautiful crisp image during the day and at night*. Very dependable and the image is amazing! The picture quality is overall much better than my old ip4m. With the 4k picture quality, license plates are easily identifiable. It lo...  Read More

V2 model uses 3 high power leds concealed behind a glossy decorative ring. New ir arrangement also helps distribute the ir light more evenly. Weatherproof, which is important since i have this mounted outside, it has good night vision and a wide 112° ...  Read More

The camera can be configured to superimpose the time and date. The webpage viewer and configuration pages are familiar as i already own several other amcrest cameras. The robustness and quality are still packed into each camera at a reasonable price p...  Read More

The dome format works well for a new application i am considering, which is adding some security cameras to our rv. I'm also a big fan of non-intenet dependency when it comes to security. The camera has built in tripwire/intrusion detection. The featu...  Read More

The camera lens can be articulated 360 degrees as well as up and down manually.



Cons

At night, the ir lights also create a lot of glare on the plastic dome, and it obstructs your night view. All leds seem to be centered probably for distance, so the sides 25 feet out from center is completely dark.

Amcrest support is anything but supportive. It is so frustrating to work with them. Not going to risk the time and effort for a third cycle. No longer an amcrest enthusiast.

Quality


The image quality is great in bright light and still pretty good in low light


Picture quality is clearly better than my 5mp cameras and i can see quite a ways across my acreage in daylight


The software applications available for these cameras is poor quality


I configured it with the information to use my isps email gateway and the web interface on the camera has a test button but it always fails

Price


It is compact rugged and incredibly capable given its price


There are other cameras that can capture 4k at higher framerates but they do tend to be more expensive as well

Shipping


Product was damaged but amcrest dealt with it promptly sending a replacement and also sending a prepaid shipping label to retur...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


It just felt like a more natural way but perhaps the packaging this camera is in prevents that setup from being used


Id guess that has more to do with using a better poe switch but wanted to point out using this amcrest camera along with many o...  Read More

Competitiveness


We love this camera and all amcrest products


I was able to run a 50ft ethernet cable from my network switch also from amcrest through a side door and out to my backyard


I did purchase a 128gb sd card separately for storing motion events


The installation is harder then the other two bullet and turret cameras both amcrest brand and they also have better picture quality

    First lets start by saying that i might not be the typical kind of user that wants a lot of super simplified features


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I want security and privacy which means i dont want an app a qr code or something that requires a cloud server


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It requires you to change the password right away


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is worth noting that i was never able to view the live stream from the main feed while in full resolution 4k and 15fps


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This really doesnt surprise me as it takes a good amount of cpu to handle a full 4k h265 stream


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    My switch reports a maximum current consumption of about 64ma


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Like most security cameras i feel that dynamic range can sometimes be problematic especially when there are things close to the camera that show up very bright it seems easy to lose details in the further distance


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I wish there was a way to adjust eh night sensitivity by blocking out areas similar to how you can mark areas in the motion detection menu allowing the camera to blowout unneeded areas
