Review Summary

Really disappointed as I was so excited when I purchased two of these for my house. Unfortunately when we went to set them up we found that our eaves didn't have the support they should have to be able to support the mounting of the cameras. I had hoped to return so I could purchase a camera that I could mount to the side of my house but had just missed the return window for Amazon (where I originally purchased). I had hoped the company would work with me to exchange or let me return but they didn't allow me to because it was past 30 days. I've owned a lot of electronics - how can you not in this day and age - and I've never known a company that would refuse to work with a customer that was desperate to stay with them. I did a lot of research on cameras, got recommendations and Amcrest came out on top but I'm not about to drop more money on new cameras and a service when I have already lost $200 and they have shown that when in need they won't actually support a customer. Super disappointed and now it's back to the drawing board because I really don't want a Ring camera.

So I purchased a complete array of indoor, outdoor cameras, easy set up yet the mobile app was inconsistent to say the least, when switching to amcrest view pro 2 cameras never came on my mobile at all had to go back to original app, now a week ago my outdoor cameras stopped with the night vision. . why no idea, never touched them and worked fine the previous week, did the hard reset, did the re install, did the mobile app toggle, did the online reboot, did everything everyone said to do. . . still no red LED lights come on cameras all work fine but the night vision. Funny all 3 cameras went down together?? how ?? talked to tech support no explanation as to how these cameras failed simultaneously together at once. . i am advised to replace the power adapter?? its all a hard line plug for power one unit? the camera is still working and getting 12V? asked for a diagram to understand what she?tech is talking about? now waiting on a picture to email and a call back. . . (yah right) so went on line chatted with sales to get new cameras, every response 20 min later. . still no idea if new cameras will work with my existing NV no pricing and now transfered to a different sales person named lora who hasn't responded. . . . no quote to my email or call backs or chats the lack of professionalism here is border line ridiculous and so un professional. And the Problem still exists. . . whats wrong with my cameras can they be fixed? can i get new one that are compatible to my existing system?? haha now transfered to someone named crystal v. . . the search continues. . .

The Sales team was very responsive with sending the requested quote. We are still in the process of installing the cameras, I'm hopeful we will have success.

Item was not what I thought it was. I thought it was a wireless camera but it was not. I have returned the item. Return was pretty straight forward and easy.

Camera is made of solid material. Easy to install. The angle of vision is a little limited and the way you set up the direction of the camera was a little annoying. However overall a good camera.

Love Amcrest cameras and this one is right there with all the others I have purchased. Very easy setup. Utilizing with Synology and no issues at all.

I have several PTZ indoor cameras from Amcrest. Based on my satisfaction with those, I chose to get this outdoor camera. It was a breeze to install and set-up. The image quality during both day and night is fabulous. At another residence, I have another brand of dome camera and was way more expensive. The image quality is no better than my new Amcrest dome camera. I plan on purchasing two more and installing those at this other house now. I can't recommend Amcrest products more happily.

I have installed several of these systems, and I like the cameras. I like the software features of the recorder as well. However, this last purchase directly from Amcrest had a hard drive failure right out of the box. I called support, and the best turnaround I could get was a minimum of 7 days!! On top of that I had to remove the NVR, essentially disabling the whole system to return the defective unit. No one would even consider sending a replacement so that the installed cameras could at least be viewed remotely.

Nice camera, you would think when you order directly from Amcrest they would give you a camera that is factory sealed and has not been opened. They still charged me full price too.

Over the last two years I've purchased a POE NVR and 6 cameras (one at a time) from Amcrest and what an improvement over my last cameras. Five of my cameras are the IP8M-2493EW's and they are outstanding cameras. I'll keep buying and recommending the same model due to the quality and ease of use. Great cameras.

Easy to install, easy to make ajustements. One of the two is along a property line: I could ajust it so that I can see my side and not see the other property's side.

Easy to install. Easily integrated into the Synology NAS software. Also, the Amcrest app (iOS) works great for local viewing for someone who does not have the NAS access. I have this setup only on the local LAN and no internet (for security), then use a VPN to remote view the camera. Overall good quality. I am happy with this purchase. Also, shipped fast.

These POE cams are very nice. Great resolution. Added them to complement existing cams. I think you can't have too much security or redundancy! My wife thinks I overdo everything.

Awesome IP Camera
By Gregory K.
I purchased 3 different models of AMCrest cameras for testing in anticipation of upgrading 2 existing CCTV systems. The selling point of the AMCrest cameras for me is that they support both RTSP and ONVIF for integration into a vast number of different VMS systems although I intend to use the NVR software and onboard storage as it is more than sufficient. As someone who supports corporate level CCTV IP surveillance systems I was looking for something that did not just rely on P2P for function...

Awesome camera!!??????????
By Patrick K.
This is a great camera. The clarity is just unbelievable. It is super clear during the day and night. I have purchased several os Amcrest other cameras but I prefer this one.
The Amcrest UltraHD 4K (8 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 69 Degree - 112 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 4K (8 Megapixel)
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 3840x2160 resolution. 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.
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 18 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 69 Degree - 112 Degree Viewing Angle
A carefully crafted 2.8mm fixed lens with a max aperture of F2.4 generates striking visuals owing to the 69 Degree - 112 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.
