I just installed 5 of these cameras. The picture is fantastic and the 4x zoom works well.

This 4K camera is a nice upgrade from the 1080p (2K) bullet camera I have, basically doubling the resolution I had making it easy to identify people walking down the sidewalk, watching package deliveries, and identifying makes of cars that drive by. The night vision does a better job than the bullet camera this is replacing, illuminating edges of the video much better and more evenly. Like another has reported, I did notice that the IR light can create a light hue on the top of the video which is caused by the IR reflection from the dome. I found this could be resolved by cleaning the dome and lowering the brightness of the RI light in the Camera settings. The wide-angle lens on this camera allows me to put the camera under the corner eave at the house and cover my front door along with my entire front yard and driveway, but unlike my bullet camera I have, it has an optical zoom. Using the optical zoom, I could actually read my house number on the mailbox. Because of that optical zoom, I’m considering picking up another one these for my in-law’s property to keep an eye on a barn which is a short distance from their house. I love power over Ethernet (POE)! I have had good luck with wireless cameras, but I have a very busy wireless network and wanted to ensure there are no signal losses or bandwidth issues so POE is my preferred choice. Running a POE cable is just as easy as running a power cord from my perspective so I highly recommend it. There are a lot of configuration settings that can be changed to meet your needs. I have a preference for high frame-rates to capture fast moving objects, so I was happy to find configuration options that allowed me to adjust to a resolution, frame-rate, and bit-rate. Setup and configuration take a little technical know-how. I paired my cameras with an Amcrest network video recorder (NVR). I setup motion detection on the camera and configured my NVR to only record motion which allows me to save on disk space, and easily find events when playing back video though Amcrest Surveillance Pro. The free Amcrest Surveillance Pro software is definitely better than other software I have used in the past. Long story short, I am rather happy with this 4K camera, not to mention the other Amcrest products I have purchased for myself and relatives over the years. Best of luck in your surveillance project

The Amcrest UltraHD 8MP 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. AmcrestCloud 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 58 deg. -110 deg. 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.
 High Resolution 4K (8-Megapixel) Ultra High Definition Video 
Featuring the latest Sony IMX322 progressive scanning image sensor and the Ambarella S3L33M 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 3840x2160 resolution at 15 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. AmcrestCloud 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 AmcrestCloud smartphone app to instantly pinpoint your footage through an intelligent timeline on an intuitive interface and play it back in seamless and brilliant 4K quality. The AmcrestCloud app also can be configured to send you on-the-go alerts. Live viewing, along with 4 hours of recorded storage is included free. 
 Micro SD, FTP & NVR Storage 
In addition to AmcrestCloud, the Amcrest UltraHD camera can also record to an FTP server, onto your local computer, to a MicroSD card 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 2 IR LEDs which transmit their infrared rays in a frequency imperceptible to the human eye. The IR lights cast brightly which provides an astounding 164 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 58 deg. -110 deg. Viewing Angle 
A carefully crafted 2.8mm fixed lens with a max aperture of F2.4 generates striking visuals owing to the 58 deg. -110 deg. 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 Wi-Fi standards for encrypted connections. This way you can always be assured that, as you play your footage, you're also playing it safe.
