About Amcrest 5MP AI Turret IP PoE Camera
Overall Feedback:
94% positive
93% liked the remote monitoring, but 7% didn't
I can use the app from anywhere by port forwarding on my home network.
I can view the camera recordings from my smartphone without any special equipment or monitors, thanks to its remote monitoring feature. Additionally, it has a cloud backup, ensuring that the files can still be accessed even if my phone is lost or broken.
I conclude that the camera is suitable for semi-professional security and surveillance, but installation can be complicated in an old house without appropriate skills and knowledge of the IP PoE technology.
89% highlighted two-way audio, but 11% were not satisfied
I am new to trying the two-way audio feature and couldn't get it to work as expected. I plan to run this off of my Amcrest NVR in another building where it is more compatible and easier to set up. The audio sensitivity in the camera menu seemed too sensitive even turned all the way down.
98% found it weather resistance
The camera's metal weatherproof housing has held up well in recent rain and high winds.
93% liked the night vision
I am impressed with the colored night vision feature of the Amcrest camera. The camera provides vivid colors and enhanced visibility in even the darkest environments, which is a game-changer for security and surveillance applications.
I have found that the camera excels at night with its night vision function and spotlight providing clear footage.
92% were satisfied with the storage options
I installed a 256GB SD card, which is my largest internal storage device to-date. I could have used a local storage device or NAS for storage options.
94% appreciated the installation process
I found the installation process easy and straightforward. I replaced my old camera with the new one and added it to my system without any hassle.
92% were satisfied with the resolution clarity
Fine details and intricate patterns are captured with exceptional precision, allowing for better facial recognition and object identification.
The picture quality is high and I can zoom in to 150% without losing much clarity.
88% appreciated the motion detection accuracy
I appreciate the solid motion detection of the camera and the interface via app or web for masking out regions I don't want to trigger it, as well as dead times.
