Best value for the money
I’ve got a few Amcrest and other cameras, so the setup was very familiar and easy. However I was unable to power on the Camera straight from the router so I had to purchase a POE switch to get the camera working.The camera is really well made like the rest of amcrest cameras and comes with an option to use a SD card which is great if you are not interested in alternative storage methods.The image quality is great and consistent regardless of the time of the day.l. With its 4K Ultra HD resolution, every detail is crystal clear and combined with its wide angle viewing capability there aren’t very many blind spots.Additionally I am impressed with the spotlight feature, while it is small it is definitely a huge plus for a POE camera and to deter any unwanted guests during the night.The night vision along with the motion detection and AI are huge bonuses.Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my investment in the Amcrest camera. I will get at least a couple more of these and I highly recommend them for anyone who is still undecided.

Great outdoor camera
The Amcrest UltraHD 4K (8MP) IP PoE AI Camera IP8M-2796EB-AI (Black) is a great option for outdoor monitoring, as its sturdy case and high definition video coupled with smart software packs a solid combo for any business or private residencePros:The 4k video quality is very well defined, when magnified it doesnât pixelate.Face detection has come a long way, the  IP8M-2796EB-AI does a good job at tracking faces, yet there are limitations (see below)The POE option works very well for powering the camera and transferring AV info. POE can be furnished by POE capable switch or one of the Amcrest NVRs (I am using the Amcrest NV4108E-A2 4K 8CH POE NVR and it works great!)Motion detection works very well with the IP8M-2796EB-AI and can save on storage when used to record only if motion is detectedThe super-wide 129° viewing angle is a major benefit over other cameras (I currently own 3 other turret Amcrest cameras).The built in light is useful, as it can deter intrudersNight-vision is good, better than some other cameras, yet not as good as the best color night-vision cameras. Still good for the price point.The H.265 compression works well with the microSD card and also the SSD installed in the NVR.The adjustment of the camera is easier than turret cameras.Cons / Areas of improvement:Video â the 15 fps at 4k may be sufficient for most circumstances, but limiting when dealing with fast moving subjects.Face detection can be difficult when the camera is installed high up and a direct angle on the personâs face cannot be obtained.The microSD card is not easily accessible, therefore enabling some protection from potential thieves, but also difficult to access by the owner.Cloud $ subscription can add up over the course of time, thus SD card access for local recording or NVR option are necessities (upfront cost vs. subscription cost).Recommendations:Include a camera speaker for two-way communications (the microphone option on the software requires additional speaker to be installed in order for it to be functional).Amcrest Cloud does not see the cameras once powered by the Amcrest NV4108E-A2 4K 8CH POE NVR and has no option for adding a NVR device. Please fix this.Amcrest Software needs to be more user friendly and intuitive. As is, it appears to be more friendly to programmers.Conclusion:The Amcrest UltraHD 4K (8MP) IP PoE AI Camera IP8M-2796EB-AI (Black) is a great option for an outdoor camera, it appears sturdy enough to withstand the harshness of weather, it installs relatively quickly and securely, with enough motion range and a wide angle that forgo the need for pan/tilt. The quality of the image is very good and the AI options for face detection, motion detection and setting up to four zones for movement/sensitivity come in very handy. I recommend the IP8M-2796EB-AI (Black) camera.

Super wide view and solid built
Functionality:I can make all of the necessary configurations with any browser. Currently using Chrome. Saving is very important as I make any changes.Overall experience:⢠I am not a fan of bullet cameras but decided to give this one a shot (am in love with the spotlight, more later)⢠Connected to my network quickly and joined my BlueIris server.⢠Very surprised at the size of this camera. It was actually a bit bigger than I expected and is very, very solid metal.⢠This camera is positioned in a spot on our farm overlooking our ducks because there was a couple of features of this camera I wanted to test out in this area.⢠It is very clear that it is waterproof as undoing the screws from the dome piece I could hear the air being released. It was also very simple to add the SD card.Image:⢠The 129-degree field of view makes for an excellent image and is much wider than you would expect as well as most other cameras. The image is crystal clear and the coverage is amazing.⢠While not a stated feature, for some reason I feel that this camera has a bit higher viewpoint if that makes sense. I can see more top to bottom. That may be due to placement or the wider angle but either way, it has been a perfect fit for this location.Night Vision:⢠The night vision kicks on and looks great when needed.⢠I will forever always try to purchase and recommend cameras that have the spotlight feature. Ever since it was updated to being able to be âalways onâ during motion, I have just raved about it. Having that additional light powered by POE is incredible to me. While itâs not a floodlight, it is just enough during the night when I am walking out there to light up my path.⢠Really appreciate the night color Technology. Makes the night time images much easier to seeAudio:⢠While I am not using audio to trigger recording, it is very nice to be able to listen in on the ducks as they go about their day.⢠It is crystal clear and cutting adjusting for the wind noise was easy to accomplish with the provided settings.Playback:⢠Itâs great to be able to select by file type when looking at recordings. This makes it much quicker to go through the videos of the day.AI:⢠This is where I wanted to do some additional testing. This camera is pointed at our ducks on the farm and I wanted to test itâs motion, human detection as well as trip-line (IVS).⢠I was able to easily block out where the ducks are located in the detection area very quickly. Then using IVS, set trip lines coming from both directions to pick up any animals or humans. I also set the detection to humans.⢠Notifications and video seemed to be captured every time it was feeding time (human) and anytime the trip-line was tripped (dogs running by) which was fantastic to see. I have been able to see these events specifically as well as know if any racoons show up in the area again. There have defiantly been some false positives but I would much rather that then not capturing something.Overall, this is a great bullet camera with an incredibly wide-angle view. I have found a permeant spot with this camera overlooking my ducks and can view their entire pen as well as anything approaching with it. While I wish the hood was a bit more movable, it is not necessary due to the camera facing more north. The camera and image though are top quality from Amcrest as usual and with the included spotlight, this is easily in one of my top 3 cameras from Amcrest.
