Pros & Cons
Pros
In bright daylight colors are nice and vibrant, and images are crisp. Quality of the footage is probably some of the best i've seen for a battery operated camera, love the hd quality feature! Night vision performs well.
Build quality is excellent and installation was straightforward. Easy to setup with existing router. No difficulty.
Battery life seems to be good from an idling standpoint (less than 10 events per day) everything feels solid and secure.
Up to 6 cameras can be sync’d to one main hub. Adding storage to the system is as simple as plugging in a flash drive or hard drive. Usb interface is nice, as you can get larger size full drives still.
Amcrest's app is easy to use and set up. The app has a lot of small bugs but works well (on android). The alexa integration is also nice, but i would prefer more options, such as google home.
Cons
The motion sensor is not the best. It detects big things but not small things and barely detects anything in night vision mode. Customer service stinks, the service invite you to not recommend them, don't waste your money. There is not a owners manual... Read More
Constant connectivity issues. App functionality is minimal. On line chat is worthless.

Price
Very good camera at a very good price point, would definitely purchase more.
All-in-all, this is a very affordable and super convenient wireless camera option.
Was looking for an inexpensive wireless camera setup for indoor & outdoor use.
I was looking for a convenient and cost effective way to run security cameras outside.
Shipping
Notifications are sent to my phone quickly of motion detected by the motion sensor on each camera.
Initial setup:app registration was fairly easy and fast.
Packaging/appearance
The camera system arrived in a very attractive and well-put together package.
The product arrived in good packaging and it was easy to un box.
The included contents were neatly oriented inside the box.
Competitiveness
The blink xt2 system uses lithium aa batteries, which are more expensive than standard alkaline batteries, and seem to have a s... Read More
The range of the amcrest wireless cameras seems very good compared to blink xt2 hub and cameras.
I have experience with both the blink xt2 camera system, and these seem to be direct competitors to the blink system.
I installed these amcrest cameras and hub in the same location as my blink cameras and hub.

I love how easy it is to use and set up but the bad is the battery life it doesn’t come close to last 6 months more like two weeks after a full charge

Hub needs ethernet connection so it might limit camera location

Setting up the system took some time as the app was not very clear on how to set up the cameras themselves rather only the smart hub

Once the system was connected i was able to instantly access the cameras
