Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The camera's image sensor is excellent, at 8mp. The sensor's b&w quality is a step above others i've tried. Color night vision is a great feature that helps me make sense of the objects it detects.

Easy installation is very simple by using the quick-start guide. Qr code is available in the app to add the camera to the app. I really like the fact that a barcode is provided that enables the sn to be loaded into amcrest app. User-friendly and intui...  Read More

Cons

Hard-pass if you need high framerates or poe to function properly and get the specs sorted out. I would expect cameras like this to work until they are obsolete.

Camera is garbage and pixelating for no good reason. Beautiful cat6 cable terminations and no reason for this *. decent hardware but terrible software.

Amcrest support is non-existent. All software aspects of the company were written by a high schooler. The snapshot is only displayed in the event list within the app.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The ir led works well at night but the color night vision is a little disappointing as the tiny white light produces faded colors


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    My first attempt at using it for outside security at night was problematic because flying insects set it off every few minutes with dozens of false alarms


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The camera has many more possible settings than i need and this made the initial setup confusing


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Setup needs to be done both on the web based interface and on the viewpro2 phone app and the many possible settings can be confusing


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The documentation should do a better job of explaining how to set up and use the camera


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This would have eliminated my initial frustration


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    These are relatively inexpensive on amazon


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
