Quality Bar None

Setup was as simple as advertised. Picture quality and functionality is excellent with many options making integration simple for any existing system. I will definitely be looking to purchase future products.

Amcrest ProHD Outdoor 1080p WiFi Wireless IP Security Bullet Camera Review

Super simple to set up, located outside my home pointed at my front door, just had to initialize it and then mount it on my pump house. Having the ability to view the camera wherever I may be with my smart phone is fantastic! This is just one of the four I will be adding to my home surveilance system. I also bought a Amcrest NVR 4 camera system with a WD 2TB hard drive and a refurbished Acer monitor. So for about $250 I have everything set up the way I want it, now the only drawback is that this wireless camera runs over Wifi with only 2.4 GHZ and not having the ability of running at 5 GHZ will pixelate the image, but the recording turns out fine. All in all, worth the money especially when you need cameras located away from your home and having the ability of wireless compared to PoE. Also, with the email function you are notified whenever there is motion detected and a snapshot of what the camera is seeing. Definitely will recommend this to anyone.

I do not like this camera

I do not like this camera. It is hard to manage files to the ftp server because it relates a folder for each day and hour. The night vision video looks llike a ghost image very hazy. It is difficult to understand options as there are very few definitions of what the settings meaning in the documentation. The manual record, and motion detect record go to different locations. It is functioning, but had I known the quality of night vision video I would not have purchased it. I can code a cleanup script which the novice probably could not do. The PC_NVR option for recording motion alarms did not function for me, but then again it could be a documentation issue. I am a web site administer by. Trade soI am familiar with the many ways to setup the camera.I ended up setting up IIS on my windows 10 pc and setting up an ftp server for the camera to write to. I will not put any of my data in the "CLOUD" which is nothing more than someone else's server for which I cannot inspect their security.

Amcrest ProHD outdoor camera review

Overall I'm pleased and would buy this camera again. The IR emitter creates a halo on the image when it is on night vision mode.

Nice product

It is easy to set up with the setup program or just by going directly to the IP that is set by DHCP. The unit was fine to install and the picture quality was good. I use Blue Iris and it was flawless setup for that as well.

Outstanding Product

This is my second Amcrest camera and I'm very pleased with the ease of setup and overall operation of each. I did have a small issue with the first one but after a call to tech support the issue was resolved. Overall a outstanding product and money well spent. Thanks Amcrest.

Amcrest Outdoor 1080p IP2M-842

Love the cameras thus far. Planning to buy at least one more outside camera but need to research info on how to record the video to an external hard drive or NVR. If that's possible, I also plan to procure 2 2 indoor cameras with the 2 way talk feature. I don't mind outdoor video being in the cloud but don't want my indoor video there. Thus far, really satisfied with the purchase. Video quality is good.

Amazing quality and very easy

Amazing quality and very easy to set up. For the price, they cannot be beat. Only suggestion would be in the description they say they zoom. Not the case with mine. There is no way to zoom except as you would on a phone or computer photo. I do not think that the Camera actually has a built in zoom feature.

Started Bad

Ordered my IP camera and the first thing I get is a e-mail telling me it is on back order. Good thing is that it still came as fast as most things I have ordered on line. So now I try to make everything work, followed the instructions to a "T" and can't get it to come up on the laptop. Called support and in a few seconds had everything working like it should. Have widows 10 and had to open the player in Internet explorer. The camera is great and the picture quality is the best. I will be back for my next IP camera. Thanks

Great Cameras

Camera arrived 5 mins they were working, Great picture, easy to use. Customer service was great, 9 days after I purchased them, they went on sale, I contacted Amcrest and asked for a refund for the difference of the purchased to the sale price, Two days later the refund was send to my account!! I could not ask for anything more then that. I am looking at adding more cameras, I will only use Amcrest from now on.
