Powerful digital and physical zoom

The zoom can really focus on number plates. We have a position at the only entrance and exit to the apartment complex and she can see the panels about 75 feet away. Digital zoom along with physical zoom are invaluable.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • For seniors

Excellent camera even for $250

During the day I can read number plates from afar at full magnification. The optical zoom works well with the autofocus. It's quite large and heavy, but seems built to last. I placed mine on the roof of the house and looked down the cul-de-sac. It's been a few months and it's been great.

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • Dear

Bad Price: Bullet Cameras

This camera is quite expensive so I expected a lot from it. However, my other Amcrest IP8M-2696EW-AI cameras, which cost a lot less, perform better than this camera, especially in night vision mode. The infrared night vision in this IP8M-MB2546EW camera is tightly focused and you don't get a very large area that is actually visible. I'm very happy with my 11 IP8M-2696EW-AI cameras but not very happy with the one IP8M-MB2546EW I bought.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Lots

Excellent camera and support

This is a great POE camera. The image quality is excellent thanks to the 4x optical zoom and the night vision is also very good over long distances. Motion detection not tried yet. I had some issues and questions while setting up 6 cameras with my NVR (some of them were different models of Amcrest cameras) but the technical support hotline was extremely helpful. I called Raymond HAYS from tech support and spoke to him for over an hour and he helped me set up all my 6 cameras and my NVR. Now…

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Null

Very Good Camera --- Very Complex Setup

Amcrest cameras get great reviews from their tech community which is what motivated me to buy this camera. However, after learning how to install a camera, I came to the conclusion that the installation process was extremely complex and involved at least two specialties (electrical engineering and information engineering), which led me to return the camera. I didn't feel that the average homeowner, even a homeowner with good computer skills, could act as a project manager in such circumstances.

Pros
  • Very Good Value
Cons
  • Unbelievable Price
