Construction seems durable. Initial setup was pretty easy even just using the built in web interface. The web interface is WAY better than Foscam and HiKVision use and it is helpful that they have a chrome app that works on all OSes instead of a Windows specific plugin with potential security vulnerabilities like some other cameras by the aforementioned competitors.

I like the variable focus and zoom. I don’t have a POE switch or injector. But you can use a normal AC adapter with 12v and 2A of output. there is a plug right next to the ethernet port on the camera. I placed the cable connectors in a plastic bottle for weatherproofing.

I purchased one of these and mounted on the front of my garage. I can zoom all the way down the block with great clarity. As with all of my Amcrest cameras, everyone of the 17 I've purchased worked perfectly right out of the box. This is one quality and well built camera!

I purchased two these for the front and back of the house. So far, I have one installed covering the front of the house. The picture is very clear in a big picture sort of way and installation was very straight forward. There is a bit of fisheye around the edges but covers the area I need. I have it installed on front of my house with plenty of light but will not read a license plate at 30 feet during the day or at all at night. It will give you a clear picture of the kind of car. At 20 feet at night, faces are pixelated. I have the main stream set at greater than 6k with plenty of light. The case is metal and feels solid. I am using the Surveillance Pro software and the app on Android. The app should not be used for configuration. When I made changes on the app, they messed up my cameras. If I use the PC software or the NVR it works as expected. Being on outside camera, there are a lot of false positives from snow. Doing some research, that is a problem with most all cameras. I had to turn off the alerting on that camera as I was getting alerts every minute for falling or blowing snow. Overall, this being my first camera, I am very pleased with what it does and look forward to installing the others.

The Amcrest UltraHD 5MP PoE bullet 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). Each Amcrest camera features night vision, enhanced digital zoom, a wide 57 Degree - 104 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 UltraHD, 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 5MP at 20 FPS
Featuring the latest Sony IMX322 progressive scanning image sensor and the Ambarella S2Lm chipset, the Amcrest UltraHD 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 2592x1944 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 5MP 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.
FTP & NVR Storage
In addition to Amcrest Cloud, the Amcrest UltraHD 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 57 Degree - 104 Degree Viewing Angle
A carefully crafted 3.6mm fixed lens with a max aperture of F2.4 generates striking visuals owing to the 57 Degree - 104 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 UltraHD 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.
