Variable focus and optical zoom are the key features here

This is the camera you need if you are using it to capture close images. I used it to document baby birds in their nest. The motion capture gave me tons of nice pictures and the Amcrest NVR that I connected it to let me create a video of each bird leaving the nest. Because you can zoom in and out and focus on a close subject, the picture quality was incredible. The only problem that I have found is that you can't zoom in and out from the NVR GUI itself. However, you can directly connect to the camera and use the Amcrest Surveillance Pro application to set this. I have engaged support in hopes that this small issue can be fixed.

Delivery was quick, installation was easy and interfacing with my existing camera system went smoothly. Good picture quality and field of view but don't expect face or license plate recognition. Be sure and follow the instructions for initial installation and get the device's serial number off the unit before you mount it...you will need this number for programming.

Great Camera

I have this camera on my front porch. It has been perfect. We have it set up to send us motion alerts if someone walks up on the front porch. This camera runs 24/7 and never has any problems. It is easy to set up and have it integrated into my blue iris server.

Easy, simple, reliable

These camera's are so simple to set up. I actually just set one up tonight and after I plugged it in I hoped on my computer and found the ip address of it and had it up and running and connected to my server in less than 5 minutes. They are so clear and are such a great value for the clarity that they have. I also love that the base is made out of metal and not cheep plastic. They also have awesome seals on them to keep the moisture out. They are also super easy to adjust. You can position them in anyway and then just adjust them to the angle that you want. I think these are just an awesome value for the cost.

Great Picture

The picture is great from this camera. The software is a little buggy with the motion detection area and the settings not staying set. Other than that, I'm satisfied with the camera and would recommend it to my friends.

Needed a wider view

I needed to cover a wider area in the back of the house. This camera fit the bill perfectly allowing wider coverage and reducing the number of cameras from 4 to 3. Great clarity and nice night vision. I purchased 3 more of these for the front of the house and inside the foyer. Highly recommend.

Excellent Company to work with

I have 5 Amcrest cameras and NVR. When I go this one it would not fit where I wanted it so I returned it for a bullet style. Amcrest was excellent to work with even though I am a small customer

Pretty good

I've installed a total 25 of these 4-megapixel cameras into 4 different sites. I'm really happy with the video quality but plan on getting a large hard drive to store the video clips on. Get a least a 6 TB drive to support these monsters. Installation was very easy and was the same as any dome camera. The Amcrest app on my iPhone made pointing the camera while up on a ladder a breeze. Amcrest should remove the wording, "Vandal-Proof" from their description. Like any video camera, a quick squirt from any can of spray paint make will take this camera and any camera out. Pluses include operating in the hot Florida sun, I'm very impressed with that.

A Must Have!!

This is my 5th security camera per Amcrest, and by far, the clarity and the view of the image is awesome. It's very clear, and you can even zoom in to see the person's face. The ProHD 4-megapixel does the work!! I would recommend this product.

Camera was very easy to set up using a POE switch. Was easy to find on my network using the Amcrest network utility. Built in web page config has a wide variety of useful settings. The iOS app is easy to use. Took one star off because there’s a Micro SD Card slot on the camera that you can’t use!

Worst Customer Service Ever

Wrong item was shipped. You cannot speak to a customer service person. Everything on the return is done via internet. Since I purchased directly from the manufacturer they had to sent me my receipt which I then had to post on an email back back to Amcrest. Talk about stupid. Then you have to wait 2-3 days before they send you a return packing slip. The package is sent Fedex ground which takes a week to reach Houston Texas. If lucky they will send the correct item which takes another week. So, because I was sent the incorrect item. And in order to get the correct item Amcrest returns take approximately 3 weeks. This could have all been taken care of had Amcrest allowed you to speak to alive person but they hide behind the internet. Could not tell you about the quality of the product because the correct item has yet to arrive.

The Amcrest ProHD 3 Megapixel PoE Vandal Dome video camera helps you stay in touch with what you love anytime, anywhere. With its quick mobile setup process, you will have secure access to your camera's video stream in no time. 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 and upload to an FTP as well as record to any Amcrest (or ONVIF compliant) Network Video Recorder (NVR) (not included).

This Amcrest camera features night vision, enhanced digital zoom, a 81 degree viewing angle, smart motion alerts, email alerts and snapshots, advanced recording options, and secure SSL/HTTPS connection. This is a Power Over Ethernet (PoE) camera and requires a separate PoE Injector or PoE Switch to operate. A power supply and a PoE injector are NOT included, and are sold separately. With the Amcrest ProHD, you'll never be out of the loop again. Amcrest cameras are compatible together with Foscam cameras only when using AmcrestCloud, Amcrest NVRs, Blue Iris for Windows PC, Live Cams Pro for iOS and TinyCam Monitor for Android.

Simple Power Over Ethernet 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.

Superior HD 3MP at 20FPS
Featuring the latest Sony IMX322 progressive scanning image sensor and the Ambarella S2Lm chipset, the Amcrest ProHD camera 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 2048x1536 resolution at 20 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 3MP 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.

FTP & NVR Storage
In addition to Amcrest Cloud, the Amcrest ProHD camera can also record to an FTP server, 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.

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 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 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 30 IR LEDs which transmit their infrared rays in a frequency imperceptible to the human eye. The IR lights cast brightly which provides an astounding 98 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.

Wide 81 Degree Viewing Angle
A carefully crafted 2.8mm fixed lens with a max aperture of F2.4 generates striking visuals owing to the 81 degree viewing angle. With such a wide field of view you will have no problem keeping what you care about in your sights.

Secure SSL connections via HTTPS
The Amcrest ProHD camera features secure SSL connections via HTTPS to comply with modern WiFi standards for encrypted connections. This way you can always be assured that, as you play your footage, you're also playing it safe.
