Don't let the megapixels fool you

Let me just say that I really like this camera. Don't let the megapixels fool you, the picture is great. As with high-end cameras, it's all about the lens. It integrates very well with the free Amcrest Surveillance software. It's built the same as all my other Amcrest cameras so installation was easy. The effective magnification is about 20x. After that it's a little blurry. Night vision works well. The speed of the PTZ is so fast you'd think it might break, but it's made of metal and appears…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Some flaws

This is the AI ​​model. Not the same as IP2M-863EW.

I have an IP2M-863EW and needed a second unit but this model was out of stock so I went with this one. They look the same, but I'm a bit disappointed with this model. The lens has a much higher resolution than a fisheye. Screen corners are distorted. Also, a simple EW model will appear full screen in the software and will still show the controls, while an AI model will not. Overall, this model looks a bit smaller. Other than that, this is a solid camera. It has a large zoom and weather…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Exorbitant price

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The camera is good. The software has a high learning curve.

Assembling and setting up the camera was fairly easy. You cannot run Ethernet POE over an end-to-end connection like an IP phone. When the motion motors are activated, the camera switches power to the IP phone and turns off the camera when the phone is in idle mode. Overall, the camera quality and zoom are excellent. The software is a bit overloaded and has a high learning curve. IE Requires regular patrols, face recognition, power cable detection, etc. Setting it all up is cumbersome at best…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Negative present

Fantastic quality for the price

We all know that IP security cameras are of the best quality and can revolve around Wi-Fi cameras, the only problem is that they are usually very expensive. Meet the Amcrest PTZ camera. This is everything I wanted from a PTZ camera for my home. The quality is comparable to the SUPER expensive Verkada cameras I use at work but 4 times cheaper. Before purchasing the camera I was a bit apprehensive as I don't have an Amcrest NVR (my NVR is Montavue too) but after speaking to Amcrest customer…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Nothing

Quality, Performance, Technology

The Amcrest IP2M-863EW-AI PTZ camera is another home product. This is a Power over Ethernet (POE+) device, which means you only need to connect a CAT5 cable to it for power and data, but that connection must come from a POE+ switch or power injector. "+" means higher power (802.3 atm) of POE standard is required, usually due to additional requirements of motors and IR in the PTZ camera. The included 12 V power supply is used for the initial setup. An incredible 25x optical zoom lets you quickly

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • No

Fantastic CCTV PTZ Camera

Original Appearance: This camera is very well built with heavy metal. When unpacking, I opted for an SD card, which I was very happy about. Inside were bags of silica gel. If I hadn't opened the back wall, I wouldn't have known. It also appears that the cable protector has melted somewhat into the silica gel bags from the heat of the trip. I really appreciate the anti-drop screws on the access panel. Inserting the SD card was easy and everything fitted together nicely. Assembly: The stand is…

Pros
  • Very Good Value
Cons
  • Clarity

Better than cameras four times the price

I've wanted this camera for a long time and finally bought it. The camera was delivered on August 12th 2021 and I figured there must have been a few items in the Revain box as it was a lot bigger and heavier than I expected. No, it only contained an Amcrest box, which was huge and much heavier than any other camera I've ever bought. I took the camera out of the box and was shocked. This camera is 14 inches tall with a mount. I looked at the dimensions listed on Revain but didn't seem to be…

Pros
  • Works great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
