Pros & Cons
Pros
The image is fantastic. The zoom is really nice, and it reacts quickly. Definately worth purchasing. Poe makes life easier.
Zoom is awesome as seen in my pictures. See zoomedin and zoomedout pics specifically. I just wish the lens was a wider 2.
Autofocus works perfect, day or night and fast. Didn't need to consult with tech support with this camera since setup & configuration is just like my other cameras. Camera plays well with my blueiris setup, including ptz controls. Not an issue whe... Read More
Save yourself the headache and get the amcrest, forget the other junk. This camera has one of the best gui interface i have ever used. It download a google app that is place with your other google apps.

Competitiveness
I have been purchasing amcrest products for a while now.
I have installed and configured a few other ptz cameras and was pleasantly surprised at how quickly i had this one up and running.
Like all other amcrest products, the instructions are complete garbage as is their software!
This camera not only works very well on it's own but also pairs seamlessly with amcrest dvrs and nvrs.
