I was using Nest cameras in my house until one day the internet went out and I lost all security coverage and baby monitors. My baby was screaming in her crib for Daddy but I couldn't hear because of an ISP outage. Lesson learned: Amcrest cameras are better in every way because I can depend on my own internal network but have all the convenience of cloud when it is available.

These POE Cameras with PTZ are the Bomb. Their picture is so clear, we use it to monitor the Grandchildren in the basement when we are upstairs. The work on everyone's smart devices and on our laptops anytime. I recommend these if you want great viewing angles, and would need to listen and/or talk to whomever is within listening distances to the Cameras. We are going to purchase 4 more exterior cameras for our security as well on the outside. Thanks Amcrest!!!!! John, Balto. MD

The first one had trouble working from day one but tech support got it working. Did not zoom, pan or tilt after first set up. A week after the warranty was out I noticed no picture. Tech support helped to prove it was the camera that had failed (no power indication) and offered a replacement at about 5% reduction over Amazon, that was before taxes. All in all, the replacement cost me 2.5% more and 5 days to arrive more than Amazon. Sure this one will do better but still think about getting from Amazon next time.

I ordered this camera to replace an old Foscam that bit the dust after about 4 years. The resolution and viewing angle are excellent. I use it exclusively with BlueIris so setup was a breeze for me. I just plugged it in and it instantly got a 192.168.1.x IP from my DHCP server. I used an IP Scanner to locate the new camera and logged into it using my browser and the IP. After logging into the camera, I can't get an image to show up in the web GUI but that doesn't matter because I was able to adjust all the settings without needing the image from the camera. However, this will be a major issue with others I would suspect. I can't comment on the ease of setup that the user manual guides you through because I didn't need that method. I didn't need to download the smartphone app so I can't comment on setting up using it. Overall I am pleased with the camera and think it is a lot of value for the money.

I'm sure it's a fine little camera. However, i bought the POE version when I really wanted the blue tooth. I have returned the camera without using it.

Simple to mount and set up. I also got the POE injector and it worked perfectly. Definitely an upgrade to my old webcam. Picture quality is excellent and the Amcrest applications are very stable. I highly recommend this device.

I use these at home and at work. I can log into the camera from any computer in my work network to check if any automated machines have any problems. Useful. I

Pros: I bought one of these and positioned it looking outside towards my porch. Setup email alerts and motion detection and now I know everytime someone steps foot on my porch. I've since bought two more to monitor my home, and am very pleased with how well they work. Cons: Technical Support. I have had difficulty getting video playback to work on my PC, and support attempted to remote into my PC to fix it, but after they couldn't they gave up and opted to RMA the camera, even-though there is nothing physically wrong with the camera, and the same problem exists on all three cameras. This problem still hasn't been resolved, but playback on the mobile app seems to work fine. Lack of new updates or firmware releases. No new firmware releases since January. Surely there's been bugs to fix since January, that's the nature of hardware. I'd expect to see more releases

After months of reviewing all the possible options for adding an indoor IP Camera to my household I decided on the Amcrest Amcrest ProHD Indoor PTZ Camera (IP2M-841). I actually bought numerous other models and ended up returning them because they just did not meet my requirements. I had multiple criteria. Since I live on a very limited data plan, the units had to be friendly to Internet data usage. With the 841 family there is essentially no data consumption on the internal data network if you have not added an iCloud plan. When you need to connect to the camera from outside the household, it is easily accomplished with P2P and data usage is very reasonable. The units are extremely easy to setup. I purchased the POE models, so all I had to do was plug them in and start the configuration process. The initial configuration is easy to do and there are so many options to allow the user to customize the units to meet there own needs. Quality of video recordings is excellent and standard out of the box settings for motion detection seem to work without any need to modify. Excellent overall product and I am already considering buying more.

I was using Nest cameras in my house until one day the internet went out and I lost all security coverage and baby monitors. My baby was screaming in her crib for Daddy but I couldn't hear because of an ISP outage. Lesson learned: Amcrest cameras are better in every way because I can depend on my own internal network but have all the convenience of cloud when it is available.
The Amcrest ProHD 1080p PoE video camera helps you stay in touch with what you love anytime, anywhere.

Stream live and playback recorded video of your home, your kids, your pets, or your business on the go with the Amcrest View app. Amcrest Cloud offers optional cloud recording with free live viewing and 4 hours of free video storage accessible from any device including Apple Mac, Windows PC, iPhone, iPad or Android devices. Amcrest cameras also record to an internal MicroSD card (not included) as well as to any Amcrest Network Video Recorder (NVR) (not included). Each Amcrest camera features two-way talk, night vision, remote pan/tilt, enhanced digital zoom, a 90 degree viewing angle, smart motion alerts, advanced recording options, secure SSL/HTTPS connection and AES encryption. With the Amcrest ProHD, you'll never be out of the loop again.
Simple PoE Setup
Save your time with a simple setup process that can get you up and running on the Amcrest View mobile app in no time at all. You don't have to be tech savvy to get setup quickly and painlessly. Simply power it on, download the app, scan the QR code, and within just a few taps you're ready to go. Day to day operations are a breeze thanks to the simple interface which allows you to take advantage of the camera's powerful features. The Amcrest ProHD camera has been meticulously designed to make plug and play setup a reality not just in theory, but in practice.
Full HD 1080p at 30FPS
Featuring the latest Sony IMX322 progressive scanning image sensor and the Ambarella S2Lm chipset, the Amcrest ProHD soaks in the entire scene, dynamically painting all the vivid colors and rich imagery, pixel by pixel, onto your computer screen or smartphone in full 1920x1080 resolution at 30 frames per second (FPS). No need to strain your eyes, lean in close, or play the guessing game when you have this level of detail.
Cloud Video Storage
High definition recordings and snapshots are only as good as how quickly and easily they can be accessed. Amcrest Cloud was created to ensure that you don't miss anything, no matter where you are. Regardless of how far you are from home, you can login from a computer (PC or Mac) or through the Amcrest Cloud smartphone app to instantly pinpoint your footage through an intelligent timeline on an intuitive interface and play it back in seamless and brilliant 1080p quality. The Amcrest Cloud app also can be configured to send you on-the-go alerts. Live viewing, along with 4 hours of recorded storage is included free. Additional 7-day, 15-day, and 30-day storage plans are available starting at $6 per month.
MicroSD, FTP, NAS & NVR Storage
In addition to Amcrest Cloud, the Amcrest ProHD camera can also record locally to a MicroSD card (not included), an FTP server, a NAS, onto your local computer, or to any Amcrest NVR (not included). You'll have full control over your recordings and can manage them however you'd like.
Two-Way Talk
When it's not enough to just see what's going on, the Amcrest ProHD camera allows you to be there with built-in two-way audio. The camera contains an embedded speaker and mic and utilizes a state-of-the-art noise cancelling algorithm. Whether on your computer or smartphone, everything you say or hear will come through clearly and instantly so that you can be part of every story, every time.
Smart Motion Alerts
The Amcrest View Pro app frees you from having to check in just to find out what's been happening lately. Instead, get immediate push notifications and alarm details sent to your smartphone while you're on the go. Launch straight into the app, choose an event from the Event List, and jump right to the relevant recording or snapshot. Life doesn't wait around, and neither should you.
Advanced Zone Detection
Create distinct motion detection zones to completely customize control over what you're monitoring. This is an effective way to ensure that you only record what you need when its important. Each zone includes its own sensitivity and threshold meters so you can fine-tune it exactly to your liking. Let the Amcrest ProHD camera hold its focus so you don't have to lose yours.
Intelligent Timeline Playback
Your stored recordings and pictures are precious, and having that data at hand is the whole point of using a security camera. Whether sharing with friends and family, or presenting evidence in a court case, it is important to be able to immediately identify, track down, playback, and export what you want, when you want it. The Amcrest ProHD camera's intuitive searchable timeline will make your life easier, save you time, and act as a sophisticated built-in video player.
Infrared Night Vision
Cutting-edge night vision technology allows you to get a crystal clear picture even when it's dark. This camera has 12 IR LEDs which transmit their infrared rays in a frequency imperceptible to the human eye. The IR lights cast brightly which provides an astounding 32 feet of night vision range. With this powerful feature, you can gain total awareness over the previously unseen and do so in a way that is undetectable.
Pan & Tilt with Enhanced Zoom
Get a visual of the entire scene with fluid 360 degree pan/tilt visibility and a digital zoom function that constantly enhances and sharpens when you zoom in. With the ability to easily pan and tilt from wherever you are, on a computer or smartphone, you'll always be a few seconds away from a change of scenery.
Wide 90 Degree Viewing Angle
A carefully crafted 4mm fixed lens with a max aperture of F2.2 generates striking visuals owing to the 90 degree viewing angle. With a field of view larger than what is built into most fixed bullet cameras, you will have no problem keeping what you care about in your sights.
Secure SSL Encryption
The Amcrest ProHD camera features secure SSL connections via HTTPS. This way you can always be assured that, as you play your footage, you're also playing it safe.
Input/Output Ports
In addition to the power and Ethernet connections on the back panel, the Amcrest ProHD has 3.5mm audio input and output jacks, a MicroSD card slot, a network activity LED indicator and an alarm I/O port used for integration with home alarms.
