    • Great Picture, Easy Set Up once you get over the horrible instructions - Set Up Discussion Here to Help You
Color: White
First I'll give my opinion of the camera, and then after that a lengthy discussion of how to set up the camera in 1) Internet Explorer 11, 2) Amcrest Video Pro APP for Android, and 3) TinyCam Monitor Pro APP for android which I think is superior. (part 3 will be in the comment section for those who want to see). Pros: 1) 1080P is just awesome clarity (to the Foscams I had before) 2) The Zoom & Preset settings is nice. You can zoom in on what you want in the view, and save that setting as a preset. 3) The camera moves to presets fast. 4) The setup is easy (once you figure it out). 5) The reboots are relatively fast (again compare to Foscam) Cons: 1) The amount of data in the 1080P can be a problem with weak signals. For example, I was experimenting with a wifi extender (a cheap one...I admit) and My Foscam H264 720P (with an extra long antenna for boosting signal) connected 30 ft away outside through the wall of my house, and worked flawlessly, But while the Amcrest connected OK... just 10 feet away and inside the house..., with nothing blocking the sight path..., the video would not load, and message "Not enough Resources" on the screen. (Note: The camera works fine with my router's stronger signal). That tells me there's a lot of data, so you'd better have a strong signal. The antenna range is just not that good. The fact that they didn't give you a way to modify the antenna is my biggest gripe which is kinda critical (don't you think) for a 1080P camera.Hence you can't put a better antenna (like a directional yagi for example). And for this reason, I won't likely buy anymore for outdoor use. (See my note below about indoor camera being used outdoor - you gotta put them in a dry place). 2) The default speed setting of 5 is too fast IMO for remote access (which can be slow at times depending on your signal). No matter where you set it, the next time you log in to the camera it's back to 5.Not a huge problem... just irritating. 3) The instructions are horribly written, and I pity the soul who is not tech savvy. 4) The Amcrest Surveillance Pro Program is a pain to get working. Part of the reason for that is it is so slow to actually connect to the camera. Maybe there's something I'm missing, But I'm thinking of buying Amcrest's Blue Iris (which used to be Foscam Blue Iris, and has good reviews). But Blue Iris isn't free... unfortunately. ============================================================= I have three of the IP2M-841 cameras and have had them running for over a month now. I first bought one, and then later decided to buy 2 more. 2 of them are set up inside the house mainly for when we are away from home, we can see what has happened in the home (mainly it's to check on the dogs, and if there's any problem, we can call the neighbor, or my son who lives a few blocks away. The third one is set outside (under the eaves of house) within 15 ft of our wireless router to watch the back yard. Yeah yeah I know they're indoor cameras, but if you put them in a dry place they work fine. I've had a Foscam H264 720P camera installed outside for 1.5 years now... in rainy Oregon and haven't had a problem. Just gotta make sure it's in a dry place and the camera doesn't get wet. We use a cell phone or an android tablet to view the cameras when we are away. ============================================================ The remainder of this review discusses setting up the camera ============================================================ NOTE: I discuss in this review the irritating incorrect DDNS address in the instructions. Amcrest went from quickddns.com to amcrestddns.com, but apparently haven't gotten around to updating the instructions yet. So I hope this review (with setup instructions helps). It's probably a good idea to leave the username and password at the default (admin/admin using all lowercase letters) until you get the camera set up. But once you get it set up... definitely change your username and password, as that is really your only protection from a hacker getting into your system... and who knows what a hacker might be able to do once inside. First let's talk about setting up with Androids...If you're not Tech savvy with IP camera technology, the easiest thing by far... is to download the free Amcrest video pro app, and setup is SUPER easy using the P2P (scan the bar code) setup which automatically sets you up for both viewing via the wifi network when at home, or the remote access when you are away. Of course I had set my camera up with internet explorer and had port forwarding set up before I ever tried the Amcrest APP. I'm not sure if it makes a difference which you do first. We had Tiny Cam Monitor Pro prior to the Amcrest Cameras and IMO that is a superior APP for managing the cameras, mainly because to the user interface is better. For example... the preset screen targets on the Amcrest APP are so small (if you have fat fingers like me)...well lets just say...using a stylus instead of your fingers works better. The other thing that is worse about the Amcrest APP... it's a cell phone battery sucker. The TinyCam App seems to use less power, but you need to remember to use an APP Killer to close both programs when you close out of them, else they keep operating in the background using data and power. The TinyCam Monitor Pro App is not as simple to set up though. 1) It will not do the easy P2P barcode scan setup (that appears to be a proprietary thing with Amcrest I'm guessing). 2) So as a result you have to set up port forwarding for both the HTTP & RSTP ports and make sure that they map correctly. But before you can do that, you need to set the camera up in internet explorer. For setting up with Internet Explorer 11, CONNECT THE CAMERA CONNECTED BY ETHERNET CABLE TO YOUR ROUTER...and open the Amcrest IP Config program (that you should have already installed on your PC), It searchers for your camera, and you can do dome configuring of I/P addresses here. I highly recommend you turn off the Auto Obtain IP Address from DHCP, and use a reserved IP address. I do this because I don't want my router changing the IP address of the camera whenever the camera reboots... as highly unlikely as that may sound. (Maybe I'm just a control freak LOL). Give the wired address a different value than the wireless address (so for our example, lets use 192.168.10.214 for the wired, and 192.168.10.215 for the wireless.After doing this and saving you can close out of the Camera Config program, and start using the camera's web interface. With the ethernet cable STILL connected... In IE 11 when you first go to that IP address (for our example you'd enter 192.168.10.214 in for the URL) - then enter admin and admin for username & password...on first login...it requires you download a plugin. If you find problems getting the plugin installed here's what to do. 1) Set up IE 11 as default web browser (if you use Chrome of Firefox that is. Amcrest says they built plugins for Safari BTW, but I've never used Safari).You can change the default browser back to what you like once you got the plugin to work. 2) When you're at the camera login... go to Tools/ Compatibility View Settings and add the camera's IP address to the list for Compatibility View, and then your camera will start working. (Note on Item 2: My last windows update, managed to delete all the Compatibility view addresses in my list, and I had to add them again to get the cameras to work :doh:). So once your in the camera, if you want to use port forwarding (for remote access while away from home), this is where you do that. I'll talk about port forwarding in your router in a little bit. Just remember.... if you do port forward the HTTP port, you then have to add that port number. (Note: Amcrest's defaults for port forwarding is like 37777 or 37778 - be smart and don't use those port numbers. that's as bad as leaving the username/password admin/admin - be safe). So let's say your camera's IP address is 192.168.10.214 (or 215 once you set up the wireless), and you set up HTTP port forwarding with a value of 12345 (instead of the default 37777). So when you want to use IE ll to view your camera... in the URL... you type 192.168.10.214:12345 (with the ethernet cable connected), or 192.168.10.215:12345 (if connected on the wireless - explained in a bit). First you have to decide the port numbers you want to use, and it can be anything from a value of 1 to some number over 65000 - can't remember the exact number. In our example...we already picked 12345 for the HTTP port. But for TinyCam Monitor Pro...we also need to set up the RSTP port. So let's use 23456 for the RSTP port. (remember this is just for TinyCam Monitor Pro setup. Other apps may require using the TCP or UDP ports instead, but the way you set them up is the same. ===================================== SETTING UP ROUTER PORT FORWARDING ===================================== At this point... now is a good time to set up port forwarding on your router. I have the COMCAST RENTAL CABLE MODEM/ROUTER/WIFI Combo).... and every router is a little different, but they all basically have a port forwarding feature. Using our example...once you set up the port forwarding for HTTP: = 12345, and RSTP = 23456... (you may need to reboot your router once you saved it)... there's a cool way to test if you did it right. Go to canyouseeme.org and there it shows your WAN address that the whole world can see (the IP address that COMCAST - or your ISP - sets..., and they like to change it once in a while just to keep you on your toes. Anyways... at canyouseeme.org... it shows port 80 in the entry just under the WAN address. Enter 12345 and if you did it right it will succeed in seeing your port. Next enter 23456, and see if that one succeeds as well. If it failed to see the ports, then you did it wrong. But I'm going to assume you did it right..., and now lets set up the ports on your Amcrest camera. With the ethernet cable still connected...using IE 11... log into the camera and go to the setup, and then select "Network" and then "TCP/IP". On that page, give the camera it's unique Host name. In this example let's give it amcrest12345, Make sure and click "SAVE". Now go to Network and then DDNS, and enter the same name for the DOMAIN name. For our example it's amcrest12345. Remote DDNS access actually uses the DOMAIN Name for remote access. I haven't actually observed anything using the TCP/IP Host Name, and am not sure what it's for. It's there... so I gave them both the same name. The reason we want this name is for DDNS access. If you have problems seeing the camera using the DDNS... you can always remotely access your camera by entering your WAN address:HTTP PORT. So in our example let's say your WAN is 76:23:123:456, and your HTTP port is 12345. So if you're away from home, you would enter 76:23:123:456:12345, and voila... you can access your camera...UNTIL YOUR ISP DECIDES TO CHANGE YOUR WAN ADDRESS AND THEY WILL. That's called a dynamic WAN address... as opposed to a static address. I've actually never heard of an ISP (Internet Service Provider) provide a static WAN address. They generally don't for security reasons. That's why you need a DDNS, so when they do change your WAN, you can still access the camera when away from home. This is called REMOTE ACCESS VIA PORT FORWARDING (and BTW... YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REMOTELY ACCESS YOUR CAMERA WHILE YOU'RE AT HOME ON YOUR NETWORK. IT WON'T WORK BECAUSE YOU ARE INSIDE YOUR LOCAL NETWORK, AND MUST USE THE CAMERA'S IP ADDRESS). LOL - the poorly written instructions fail to mention this. So back to setting up the camera, and you have just given it a unique name. Next go to "Connection" display (still under Network) and in the HTTP port make sure it says 12345. In the RSTP port enter 23456. Click SAVE again. Note your camera might reboot here, and if you haven't set up the port forwarding in your home's router... you might have some problem accessing it. Just make sure and do the router setup first, and you'll be fine. Next now you must set up the passing through of the camera's port addressing through the router. Go to Network then UPnP display. On that display, make sure the setting is in MANUAL, and not AUTO. In manual it lets you modify the mapping. So modify the HTTP port, and simply enter the number that's in the internal port into the field for the external port. In our example it's 12345. Make sure and click SAVE. Next do the same thing for the RSTP port... the external port must be the same as the internal (in our example 23456). Click SAVE. Now click the boxes on next to the HTTP port and RSTP port. And finally up at the top left of the screen, click the enable. When you get done doing all that... click the SAVE button. Now it may take a while in order to get it to say "Mapping Succeeded" in the status column.You may have to toggle between MANUAL and AUTO a few times, and/or you may need to reboot your camera. Be patient,... if you did the router port forwarding right, and tested it at canyouseeme.org... and if you did what I instructed right... it will eventually say "Mapping Succeeded". Finally, with the ethernet cable Still connected to the router...Next, let's set up the wireless link. Go to Network, then WiFi. Once there, first click the enable box on (in top left corner), and it should show a list of available WiFi connection. If it doesn't show yours, hit the refresh button. Find your router and select it (the little circle on the left) and it asks you to enter the PASSKEY for your router access. Once you enter that, the camera will reboot. While it's rebooting go ahead and disconnect the ethernet cable now, and you will use the wireless I/P address from now on ==================================== LOGGING IN FROM A REMOTE LOCATION: ==================================== So once it says Mapping Succeeded... you're at home on you home network and you want to test the remote access... remember... you can't accees your camera (in IE 11) using the remote method from inside your network. So therfore... take your laptop over to your friends house and using IE 11, enter your camera's unique name that you gave it followed by ,amcrestddns.com:HTTP port. In our example you would type amcrest12345.amcrestddns.com:12345 and voila... you should be able to login. Another way to check without going to your friend's house is setting up the camera in TinyCam Monitor Pro on your android cell phone (Later I'm going to put that in the comment on this review for those who want to know). Once you have your camera set up on TinyCam... turn the wifi off on the cell phone. If you did it right the camera view should stay working. Note it may blink out for a moment, and then come back... just depends). ============================================================= ... show more

    • An affordable easy plug & play DIY home surveillance/nanny @ great price
Color: Black
This is one of the best video cameras for the money. I was up and running in just a few minutes. The camera has a whole host of awesome features that make it work really well for parents like me to keep an eye on my family at home. With that said, here are my thoughts on this camera. PROS >> Beautiful FHD 1080p video @ 30fps with latest Ambarella S2LM chipset and Sony IMX322 sensor >> Amazing video quality in both the day light hours and in poor light conditions as well. >> IR Night vision up to 32 ft. >> Remarkable field of view with super-wide 90° viewing angle, remote pan/tilt & intelligent digital zoom. . >> Very easy setup - took less than 2 min. using Wi-Fi setup on my iPhone. No port forwarding on your router required! >> Two way talk - but don't leave it on continuously since it creates a noisy sound loop due to proximity of the speaker and microphone. >> Intelligent motion alerts as well as mobile and web apps, secure SSL connectivity with HTTPS and AES encryption. >> Cloud recording & playback with free live viewing, record & playback directly on internal SD card or optional Amcrest NVR. >> E-Mail/Motion Alerts - You can choose to receive e-mail alerts with snapshots on your smart phone. CONS >> I experienced some connection issue using the Amcrest View Lite app but once I used the View Pro app, everything was fine. >> Uses only the 2.5 GHz signal which is often very busy so there may be some connection issues. >> Leaving the mic & speaker on continuously creates an annoying noise due to the proximity of the two in such a small package. >> Recording to a DVR and or remote hard drive other than Amcrest NVR can be challenging. >> User manual isn't very useful for novices but the excellent quick user guide & many youtube videos are excellent substitutes. >> Not weather proof - This is a in-house camera with many moving part so humidity can ruin the camera. >> Need to disable the IR if leaving the camera behind windows to record outside. >> To use a 64 GB microSD card you have to format the card with a 3rd party tool to FAT32 on your PC which is a nuisance. UNPACKING & SETUP The camera weighs only 8 ounces and measures 5 x 4 x 4 inches and as soon as you take it out of the box you’ll see that it is a premium feeling and looking, good quality camera with a round design. In the box you’ll find the mounting bracket for hanging it up, ethernet cable, a long power cable and adapter and the User Manual. Once you unpack everything, the quick user guide directs you to power up the camera, download the free Amcrest View Lite or Pro app & scan the QR code at the bottom of the cam with your Android or iPhone using the Amcrest app. The setup took less than a few minutes and it would've been even sooner if I didn't use the 5 GHz connection. The camera only works with the 2.4 GHz so make sure your iPhone/Android phone is connected wireless only on the 2.4 GHz channel. Once your phone is linked with the camera, you can control it & the video feeds that it has captured, just by a touch of your finger. Digital zooming and tilting is all controlled with your phone, tablet or laptop whichever you wish. Just a FYI, if you’re using Google Chrome browser you may need to install a plugin on the browser which is really not an issue. CAMERA You wouldn't believe how clean and detailed images and videos are when you're using it. Video picture quality is quite crisp and detailed with vibrant colors (almost like professional) with the FHD 1080p (1920x1080) resolution at 30 frames per second with its Sony IMX322 2.1 MP Sensor. With 12 IR LEDs and a massive 32 ft night time vision, I had no problems watching my baby sleeping and or picking up any motion within the cameras range. THE LENS is a Sony CMOS sensor that uses high image quality pixel technology that enlarges the light receiving part of the photo-diode by as much as 50% over the older (comparable) CCD sensors. It also has lower noise & improved sensitivity over other similar CMOS sensors. This along with phase detection and low light sensors makes for a reasonable video capture in low lights situations. PAN & TILT allows for a wide viewing angle but a 360 degree remote pan & tilt is really unheard for a camera at this price point. Theoretically this means you should be able to follow your toddler/babysitter or pet around the room but realistically there is a lag of a second or two so this works mostly for stationary or slow moving objects only. MULTIPLE CAMERA CONNECTIVITY You can hook-up up to 16 cameras but watching that many on a small phone screen is impractical but its doable using view lite or pro app. That said, more than one person can view the cameras. I can attest to this as I tried this with our two iPhone but I don't see any limit as to how many people simultaneously can watch it. However only the first connection has the control over the pan & tilt. CONNECTION & BANDWIDTH The camera uses only the 2.4 GHz band so make sure your devices are connected only to this band. Most (if not all) wireless routers are single band (2.4 GHz) type but the newer types have dual band (5 GHz in addition to 2.4 GHz). For your laptop, Smart Phone, tablet, NVR, etc. to work seamlessly with this camera, you need to make sure you're connecting only to the 2.4 GHz band. You can change the resolution on the camera & reduce your bandwidth usage if you're using multiple cameras and have only one modem but your video quality is compromised. On default, the camera uses about 600 Kbs. (3.6 MB/Min) of data so if you have up several of this camera at home using WiFi connection, you should dedicate a wireless router just for camera recording otherwise you may end up with less bandwidth for all other usage such as movie and/or music streaming. STORAGE I use mainly the MicroSD (Does't come but very cheap) slot on the camera for my recording (vidoes & snaps) but the device also comes with optional cloud recording with FREE live viewing and 4 hours of FREE video storage via the Amcrest Cloud Video Recording Service but in all honesty this can serve you for only a few hours and mainly serves to try out their paid cloud storage. The 4 hours is only for straight recording and can't be set for motion-detection recording or at least I couldn't get it to work that way. You can also upload your video or images to an FTP server, as well as record to any ONVIF compliant network video recorder such as network video recorder or your own PC. To record on your PC or NVR, you will need a dedicated computer or server which you will then need to assign it with a static IP address. For Windows 7/8, download Filezilla FTP (or XLite FTP) server & install and run it as service. In the software create a user name & password & designate a directory on the system and point the FTP user to the folder and give it full privileges. In Amcrest Web browser configure, you'll need to configure FTP to match the User ID & Password. Try this if you know something about FTP and servers. Not suited for novices. ALERTS The camera can be set to push e-mail if set on motion alert. To set up email alerts, check out the amcrest zendesk link & type article email configuration or "amcrest.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/214633717--IP2M-841-Email-configuration-" NOTEWORTHY EXTRAS >> Blue Iris Software is fully compatible with this video camera. >> Lifetime of support from Amcrest as opposed to others who charge customers for support after 12 months. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The Amcrest ProHD 1080P is a great camera for the money. Its not just convenient and easy to install, it has a huge number of added benefits also. The camera can be used in almost complete darkness & still gives you the clearest picture of what is going on around you. You can also get feeds from it on your smart phone or any other Android/iOs device just with a swish of a finger. You also get motion alerts & opt for email alerts or snapshots when you need to. In conclusion, I highly recommend this camera .. this is by far the best camera for the money. ... show more
