Amcrest UltraHD 4K (8MP) Outdoor Security IP Turret PoE Camera, 3840x2160, 98ft NightVision, 2.8mm Lens, IP67 Weatherproof, MicroSD Recording (256GB), White

Works great

Thought these were great until I got a decent router and saw the massive data packets being sent to China (I had cloud stuff disabled in settings). If you want to be spied on by the communist party, by this, otherwise go for a decent brand like UniFi.

Problem /issue resolved to my satisfaction today.thank you.

I own two of these and use them with Blue Iris. The software integration is simple and has been very reliable. Streaming rate is adequate for 15 fps on both main and sub stream. Image quality is excellent during the day, and seems to be very good during the night, but that is deceptive: the clear static picture you see is achieved at the expense of massive smoothing of the pixelated image. This becomes apparent whenever anyone walks through the field of view at night, all you see is a "comet" with a blob for the face and a blurry tail. I tried to experiment with the amount of 3D and 2D smoothing that the web interface provides, but to achieve realistic motion capture in the dark I had to sacrifice image quality so much that the pixelation and digital noise made the image unusable anyway. Long exposure mode showed promise but I had to extend the exposure to the point of reaching the frame rate, and also had trouble having the camera switch between night and day mode. That resulted in the long exposure mode extending into daylight, saturating the sensor and whiting out the image. The IR illumination only seems to blur the image instead of making it better, so I turned it off. Note that the camera is not even in a particularly dark area, there are 4 garage night lights lighting up the driveway that it is looking at. So that is a little disappointing. But that said, my other brand of consumer camera that starts with R performs more or less the same in the dark, and much worse in all other aspects with Blue Iris, so I will not complain. But take the "starlight" label on the box with a grain of salt. You probably need a $700 camera for that to be true. The second one I have looks at an area under a street light. That one is doing better at night, which makes me think that the IR from the street lamp helps it a lot (the garage lights are LED, so they probably are lacking in the IR range). So if you stick with these cameras, you may want to add a dedicated IR illuminator over the area it is looking at. During daylight this camera is great. The mic works fine. I wish it had field curvature correction in the firmware as the FOV is very distorted on the edges due to the wide angle. Alas, you don't get that at this price point. Overall I like these cameras and recommend them to people using Blue Iris.

Good solid camera, like the other Amcrest products. POE is very nice Mobile app is a little bit buggy. But camera itself is flawless

Tengo un mes con ella y la verdad es un excelente equipo. De entrada, la estructura de la camara es toda de metal. Lo que le hace mas resistente y ayuda bastante bien a disipar el calor que produce todo el procesamiento de imagenes en 4K. Fue facil de montar en mi caso particular, para su orientacion, puedes simplemente girar la esfera y direccionar el area que deseas abarcar. El ángulo de vision es bastante amplio. TIENE MICROFNO INCLUIDO, con lo que puedes grabar el audio, lo que la hace mas versatil. Puedes instalar una memoria micro sd de hasta 128, lo que es suficiente para grabar en 4K sim mayor problema. La administracion y configuracion de la camara es su parte debil, ya que no es del todo intuitiva, para una persona primeriza que le encanta la tecnologia como yo, me resulto algo dificil poder configurar todas las opciones necesarias, pero despues de configurada, va de maravilla. En mi caso, la calle siempre esta iluminada de dia y de noche, asi que no requiero de la lusz infraroja, pero en el par de ocasiones que la probe, me resulto con bastante alcance, aunque no estoy seguro del alcance total ni de los detalles nocturnos que puede capturar. La recomiendo totalmente.

Excelente calidad de imagen, fácil instalación y la app es aceptable. Funciona con blue iris y con synology surveillance station. No funciona con alexa en México
