10 Month Update on old 1 Star review, updatin to 5 stars.

I purchased / intalled my first of this camera, it failed within a couple weeks. I'm writing this review because after getting a replacement (Amazon). I re-installed and the replacement performed Flawlessly. It worked so great that six months ago I added a second IP8M-2899EW-AI, and it's been perfect as well. I now HIGHLY recommend these cameras. Their image quality is amazing (especially at 25x zoom). If you need to Pan, Tilt and Zoom. I don't think there's a better quality camera within $1000 of the price of this camera.

What appeared as a fantastic camera completely failed within 60 days.

Bought this camera (Amcrest 4K / 8MP Outdoor PTZ) after buy/installing/loving 20 other Amcrest (Mostly IP8M) cameras. Initial experience was amazing. Performance of the camera (PTZ) and quality of image was UNMATCHED. Unfortunately in less than 60 days from hanging it it completely died. The camera was still powering on but the image was dead, I was able to track back to an image recorded within and hour of when the camera gave up the ghost. I tried everything to get it to recover (firmware update, full factory reset, switched from POE to direct power) to no avail. After power up the camera would flash a partial image then black fuzz then repeat every 3-5 seconds. IT was VERY disappointing. Fortunately it was well within Amazon's return window so I shipped it back for full refund.

Great camera, using Amcrest supplied

Great camera, using Amcrest supplied network cables and NVR. Only flaw is when using pan/zoom there is a delay of up to 7 seconds (on average) before camera processes and acts on the command, otherwise quality exceeded my expectation.
