Wow!!!!!!!!

Amcrest cameras are getting better and better and so much better plus....I had some issues trying to connect this camera for whatever reason and customer service was very professional and got it resolved. Do Not waste your time and money on the other brands, Amcrest is well worth every penny.

Love this!

We use this for our front drive and it works great Picture from 27ft high is fantastic! Does require a POE switch or at least a power cable, but all in all this is a great camera!

Great High Resolution Security Camera

The only negative is that it doesn't have a built in microphone. I'm using it indoors and having audio record with the video would make it the perfect product for my needs. I have other indoor Amcrest cams with audio, but they aren't as high resolution as this cam.

Great Camera

Easy to install with excellent picture quality. Allows the viewing of great detail not found in lower mega pixel cameras.

Nice camera for the price.

Here is what to expect from the camera. The center of the street is 40 feet away. The night seen is ambient light the IR lights on the camera are turned off. The reason you can see so far up the street is that I have a large IR flood light pointing that way. Over all I very pleased with the camera. I can only read the license plate during the day if the light is just right. Hope this helps.

Very Reliable with Excellent Performance

I bought two of these to replace a pair of Yi wireless cameras which kept dropping off my network.I opted for POE cameras as a replacement in order to get a very reliable connection. After two months I can report that these cameras are completely reliable, give excellent results, and have survived some extremely heavy storms without any problems. I would give them 5 stars if the software was a little more user friendly. 1. Construction is bulletproof, all metal, nicely fabricated. Surprisingly they do not have a 360 degree rotation on the ballpoint mounting. They will only adjust up and down. However the very wide angle view compensates for this, so I had no problem getting the view coverage I desired. After two months in very heavy rains and storms, they have remained watertight. 2. Performance is very, very, good. The picture quality is not as good as the Yi cameras that I had previously, but is very good indeed in the HD mode and good enough for reading license plates. The POE technology is completely reliable. As long as the network is up the cameras are connected. They reconnect automatically after a power disruption, or a router reboot. 3. The customer service is excellent. They operate on Houston business hours, though I think the actual technicians are in India. They are very patient and get the job done. One of my cameras was not recording to the SID card. They were able to sort that problem using remote access, and then assisted me to select the best settings for my applications. 4. Software: the cameras are VERY easy to set up and connect to your network using the iPhone app. But it is NOT easy is to navigate through the configuration settings and there is no guidance for how to select settings to avoid false motion detections. However the tech support people can help together with some trial and error. One nice feature is the masking option to exclude selected parts of the view that might give unwanted motion detection positives (eg plants and bushes). Overall these are excellent outdoor cameras that are reliable and give good results. The configuration software is not user friendly, but the tech support department compensates for that negative.

Fantastic PQ and build quality is impressive

I have this and the dome style, both have fantastic PQ however this model can not connect to a mic.

Very satisfied with Amcrest's IP8M-2496eb Performance and Quality

PROS: 1. I like this camera's HD quality images, if not better than the higher priced ones out on the market, 2. Night vision is very good. I can see my white car pictured (from my cell phone) at that spot at night with no problem. 3. Their free Amcrest View Pro phone app my Android phone is easy to use. 4. I can view the cameras from my desktop PC using Google Chrome web browser. 5. Comes bundled with all the mounting accessories to mount on a wall. Accessories also help weather seals too. 6. POE connection works well. 7. Integrates with my NVR recorder well (not required). 8. This bullet type feels sturdy and premium build. It's also smaller than some other bullet cameras that I've seen. CONS: 1. Motion detection seem tricky to set up. 2. Viewing over PC requires plugin download. I'm in IT person with understanding of networking that have installed over 20 IP cameras. It wasn't difficult me to set this setup and running. For an average non-technical person, it may take a little longer to get this setup. Would I buy this camera again? DEFINITELY YES!

Terrific camera for a very capable security system. Make the investment. Don't go cheap!

Bought 5 of these for my home security system. Terrific camera. POE operation is very straightforward. I am recording them on my Amcrest 8 channel NVR and have an 8 port Amcrest POE switch in my attic. You can use these cameras without the NVR but need to set them up that way if you want to. The 4K (8MP) resolution is incredible. Daytime color is amazing and the night vision works great as well. Glad I made this investment in high end cameras. I can see where it is easy to go cheap and then find out you have a blurry image once you zoom in. Not so with these. Can't recommend them enough. Only downside I have found is the documentation/manuals/software apps are a little different from one to the other. So expect to spend a little time with them. Update 10/11/18: I have had these 4 cameras in operation for several months now. 4 cameras, an Amcrest POE switch in my attic and an 8 channel NVR in my "IT closet". The cameras provide e-mail alerts as well as Amcrest App notifications on my iPhone. So I typically look at the picture in the e-mail alert and check to see who it is. If it isn't who I was expecting I use the Amcrest App for remote playback of the video that triggered the event. It has worked extremely well. I caught Amazon contractors dumping packages on the bench in my driveway instead of at the front porch. I hammered Amazon and now all is well. No more packages on the bench. I found out also that the cameras have settings for motion and can e-mail alerts directly from the camera. So if the NVR goes down for whatever reason each camera will send it's own alerts. It's a great feature since these cameras can operate stand alone or with an NVR. I did not install the memory card in the camera, but you can have even more redundancy if you choose to by doing so. I have had to tweak the settings in the NVR to get the sensitivity to motion setup as well as adjust the sensing area. I've had spiders create webs over the front of the camera and birds fly into the lens. This will be the case regardless of whose cameras you buy. So expect to do some work to tweak the operation and you will be very satisfied. I record continuously to a 6 TB drive in the NVR at full 8 MP resolution at 15 frames per second. I have 12 days of storage on tap and that is plenty for me. Be sure to backup your NVR config file to a USB drive on the NVR. Also you can backup each camera config by connecting directly to the camera. It's a 10 second job that will pay dividends in case you have issues.

Works well so far. Time will tell.

Works well. Good picture. Can't attest to durability yet.
