Pros & Cons
Pros
The amcrest view app and surveillance pro software enhances the user experience. The camera's compatibility with storage solutions enhances flexibility and security. Compatibility with amcrest cloud and various storage solutions, including nvrs and mi... Read More
Everything looks and feels of great quality on the camera and accessories. The box/packaging is excellent as always. The brand will take user feedback into account for subsequent models.
Wide viewing angle provides comprehensive coverage of my property, minimizing blind spots and maximizing surveillance area. While i wish the hood was a bit more movable, it is not necessary due to the camera facing more north.
The color hd4k is a great camera for hass/scrypted/homekit. While it only records on-camera at 15fps @ 4k, i utilize blue iris (which it is fully compatible with) for my monitoring and recording needs, and that will always record at full stream. For m... Read More

Camera is garbage and pixelating for no good reason. Beautiful cat6 cable terminations and no reason for this *. Amcrest support is non-existent. Decent hardware but terrible software.
Highlights
Quality
Lots of pros: built in ai, no need for a dvr, great quality and very sturdy for outdoor use and easy to use app.
Overall, this camera is solidly built, had good resolution and the app is easy to use as well.
The sleek design delivers sharp 5mp resolution, even in low light.
The images are sharp even in extremely low-light conditions.
Price
This is a great camera for the price and i would recommend it.
Highly recommend if you need a reasonably priced 4k poe camera!
Shipping
I contacted them via email and got a response quickly.
I was able to get a replacement camera shipped to me quickly and the second camera worked perfectly out of the box.
Packaging/appearance
Packaging and setup:packaging was good just like every other amcrest product.
Unboxing was organized and the instructions booklet was easy to read.
Competitiveness
Better than other amcrest camera which i got before.
I haven't had a chance to really test out the ai feature as this camera doesn't see a lot of motion, but it is setup similar to... Read More
Although not 100% burglar-proof, poe outdoor cameras are costlier and more challenging to install than wifi-only cameras.
