    Quality Camera with Excellent Picture
    I have set up over 20 Amcrest installations, and about 10 installations of other types. I prefer the Amcrest for picture quality, build, and durability. I have included some pictures taken with the UltraHD 5MP Outdoor POE Camera 2592 x 1944p during both day and night, in an environment that showcases the camera’s quality. Both the day and night footage is exceptional.These camera support native POE, with the ability to get power using a wall-wart. They include necessary hardware to water-protect the cat5 cable. The Camera case and base are made of cast metal, and has a single Allen bolt that allows easy positioning of the camera. Once the bolt is tightened, the camera will not move, even in 40mph winds. (no vibration) The NIGHT Floodlight does not have a red glow, like my older “Vandal Proof” Amcrest; so it is invisible at night unless you know where to look. The lens and the light share a common optic, but the lens is against the glass which removes ghosting caused by internal reflection. Also, the wavelength of this light does not seem to attract insects. As the picture shows, the Night vision almost looks like far infra-red. Both pictures were taken from a screenshot of the video, night time, was taken in the rain.The Crispness of the video shows a solid 25fps to my NVR, and it also supports backup recording on the camera itself. This camera does not need the special Amcrest plugin to access making it much nicer then their older offerings.Motion Detection is also pretty standard, it is very sensitive which can be a pain in the butt, but if you are utilizing a NVR, you can set up zones, and adjust your own sensitivity. The camera may also have a way to set up zones, I did not check.Amcrest provides an app which allows you to view your camera on Android and Iphone at no extra cost. You will need to poke a hole through your firewall unless you use their cloud service. (Which I do not)I will be purchasing more of these cameras in the future as I believe their price and performance is unparalleled.

    UPDATE: Best Bang for Your Buck
    UPDATE2: I have upgraded my review to 4 stars based on having them in operation for a month. I am thus far very happy with the performance of these cameras, the image width, depth of field and clarity earn high marks for a reasonably priced camera. After I discovered how to manipulate the mount so I can point the camera where I wanted things went smoothly. Originally I thought the lens hood was too short but it seems to work well enough although I still think they should lengthen the adjustment another half inch. My install was very detailed and time consuming because I wanted to make this clean and maintenance free, I used quality solid copper cabling and PoE switch, made sure there was no exposed wires and am testing out open source NVR software to complete the setup. Amcrest has a good tool for installing or configuring the cameras (Amcrest IPconfig) but I would like to see them update their surveillance software and include various methods for configuring access via the web in addition to any of the paid subscriptions model they might have or come up with. In short this project has been fun, I still have 2 more cameras to install but am sure that will go just as smooth as the others, just be sure to use good wire and PoE switch. I posted a pic to show how it looks installed, they arent obvious at first glance, it took my neighbor a while to notice they were there and they werent too pleased which was the cherry on the cake for me.UPDATE: Prior to returning these I sat down and gave these a good looking over to see if I could use them as planned. Well after a little investigation I found that if you do the following you can gain greater flexibility on camera positioning.1. Remove the set screw from the white sleeve (attaches base to camera ball) be sure to hold the camera head as it will get real loose2. Slide the white sleeve towards the camera, you will need to manipulate the camera so that the sleeve has max extension3. Once you have done that you will notice the base rotates (you may hear or feel clicking)4. Adjust base to the required position then slide sleeve back to original position and insert set screw5. The sleeve has a rubber gasket which you may or may not see depending on amount of travel of the sleeve, just make sure when putting back together the gasket is in place6. Now install camera and make your final adjustments and tighten set screwI bumped the rating up 1 star because I feel so far that the camera appears well made but the lack of instruction on how to fine tune positioning is not documented (or that I could find) and was a cause of frustration and wasted time looking for alternatives.First the bad:1. Unless you are planning on putting this camera dead square on your target area dont expect any level of adjustment other than up and down (maybe). If you are planning placement at a location off center from your monitoring area the ball mount DOES NOT allow for horizontal and vertical alignment to center up your viewing area so you will have blind spots.2. If you have to manipulate the orientation to get the correct adjustment you run the risk of having the cable chase within the ball joint pointing up which would allow for rain and snow to collect and make its way into the unit or mounting box.3. The cutout in the base to accommodate the cable also limits the position in which this can be placed. Again if you align the slot in any position other than down you will most certainly get water and snow into your camera or junction box.4. The sun shield is way to shallow, its next to useless.5. These do not connect at gigabit speeds which means each port on my costly GB switch which these would connect would be a waste of resources. I suspect part of the video lag is a result of slow line speed.The good:1. If you are one of the few who are lucky enough to be able to place the unit dead center on to your target area without adjustment consider yourself fortunate.2. The units are heavy and constructed of metal and SEEM to be made well.3. I only powered up one camera before realizing the poor design quality noted above but the picture seemed clear BUT with a noticeable lag.

    Great nearly 4K video camera
    The camera feels well made and is easy to mount. Image quality is great. Almost as good as my Amcrest 4K cameras but at nearly half the cost. Night vision works great. Motion detection is pretty sensitive so it requires some patience tweaking it and may require you to block out zones that you don’t care about motion. I usually don’t try to get the motion detection settings perfect since I don’t have time for that but I try to make basic tweaks to minimize the amount of false positives and it does help reduce the number of detections significantly.Unlike the dome cameras, the Amcrest bullet cameras usually don’t have a mic, which is important if you want audio. That is the only feature I wish it had but I got it at a great price which was hard to pass up. Setting it up with my Amcrest NVR was simple. I usually just log into the camera’s web interface first to change the basic settings and then add it to my NVR but you could simply just add it directly to the NVR first before changing all the settings.I don’t use the cloud functionality since I like having my cameras on my private network which has no Internet access for security reasons and these cameras will function offline on their own network just fine. For the more technical users, it is nice that the cameras have an API which can be utilized to control the cameras with scripts and other software.
