  • Great detail on 25x zoom.
I am used to paying around 100 dollars for Amcrest cameras. I was shocked at how much this Amcrest PTZ costs. What’s that old saying You get what u paid for. It was easy to install. My Synology surveillance system recognized camera. Although model number was not on Synology camera list. The generic listing was ok. Right off the bat I noticed the difference in picture. I set camera to 4k at 30 FPS I zoomed into my green house heater I had on shelf by door 50 ft away. At 25x I could read the model and serial number on heater tag. I digital zoomed and still could read text. Yeah Camera is expensive but the detail is Amazing ... show more

  • Completely Failed after ONE week of operation.
The media could not be loaded. Installed this, and initially LOVED it. It completely crushes the performace of most other PTZ cameras. I had it wired with POE. Unfortunately, two days ago (One WEEK after hanging it), the image went from perfect to fuzz with a flicker of brighness. It can be seen in the images attached. The first was taken at 6:15pm and the second at 8:34pm (on the same day). There was no rhyme or reason for the failure. I tried rebooting. Powering off and on. I even performed a factory reset (first from the built in browser, then from pressing the reset button). After the reset I re-connected (even skipped the POE and powered directly) and the video is the result. Flickers about ea 5 seconds then fuzz. VERY disappointed! For the record I have 20 other cameras (1 WIFI PTZ, a couple WiFi fixed, and a bunch of IP8M fixed) from Amcrest and they all ROCK. ... show more

  • DOA
Camera arrived dead in the sense that it was unreachable by the User Interphase, Amcrest surveillance pro software or the IP set software. The NVR found it , it had an image, but would not allow any modifications to its IP address which was completely out of network (10.1.1.128). Contacted Amcrest and received message that they would get back to me in 2 days or contact Amazon. I returned it and leaked my wounds. A waste of time and effort. Do not get this product, which is not ready for prime time, no pun intended. ... show more

  • Awesome camera
This was the first camera I got from Amcrest which got me into the Amcrest software and hardware ecosystem. I tried a number of other brands that offer point solutions for home use. Most of these are a waste of time and money. Amcrest offers cameras which range from entry level to high end and all of them connect to the same software to provide similar capability across the models. I am now in the process of installing an Amcrest NVR to give me recording and storage capability for all the home cameras I installed. Their software allows me the ability to view all cameras remotely when I am on holiday, it warns of motion or picks up vehicles and people when they approach my home. The resolution and PTZ capability of the higher end models is fantastic. I honestly do not see the point of investing in the alternative options which are in a similar cost range but cannot resolve facial features or number plates. Most of the investment in in installing a home video surveillance system is in the time, cabling and setup. Just spend a few $$ more and get a system that has decent software that allows your hardware investment to work properly and reliably. The IP8M-2899EW-AI model is essentially a semi pro model which is suitable for commercial use as well as high end domestic applications. I used it in the most critical position to capture everything that happens between the street and my home. It has the resolution, optical zoom and PT control for any situation. Highly recommended. ... show more

  • No auto-tracking! Sales Team has no idea about these expensive cameras.
Discussed this before buying with Amcrest Sales to make sure buying what I needed. Told me it has auto-tracking (smart tracking) feature but ended up spending hours of installation and setup for nothing. Later reached out to sale again to confirm and they said just return if I don’t like it. What a waste of time! ... show more

  • Pro-sumer grade security camera
What I mean is there are professional grade camera systems and standard run of the mill consumer cameras. This camera runs way above the consumer grade but just short of true professional grade. The video quality is top notch. However it is huge in comparison to the typical consumer grade system. You need to take extra precautions when trying figure out where your going to install it. It's weight is equal to its size. This camera might be better suited being mounted high on a sturdy pole. It's been amazing so far and I'm quite happy with it. There are other reviews that have done a better job than I ever could on the scientific aspects of the video quality. I wanted to focus on making sure you understand this this is huge ! Please have the proper place and space to install it and you'll be rewarded with a professional camera for less than half the price. ... show more
