Review on Amcrest SmartHome ASH43-W: 4MP Outdoor WiFi Bullet Camera with Night Vision and Built-in Mic by Jerome Pritchard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent wireless performance, consistent image quality

This camera matches the overall quality scores in my Amcrest ASH42 review in many respects, so I won't repeat myself too much and compare the two. Cordless performance - strong as a rock. I have this thing on the corner of my house, 2 interior walls and 3 interior walls from the hotspot. Zero problems in a week. Not like a shine. In wireless performance, it can even surpass Amcrest ASH42. The image quality is impeccable, wide angle, no noticeable pixelation. To be honest, I don't care as long as I can distinguish between humans and animals, so I'm not the type to directly compare different cameras in terms of image quality. The person detection function is very interesting; It seems to work well, although mine is in a place where there aren't that many people, the focus is more on looking for pets and other animals, and just general safety. I had a bit of a headache with setup, but I was able to resolve it by resetting the configuration and running again. I also noticed something about Amcrest cameras: when you're dealing with a lot of bugs and spiders outside setting up your cameras. for some reason amcrest does this much less often than other brands? I suspect it has to do with how their night vision works, but now a third of my outdoor cameras have switched to Amcrest and I've never had to scrape cobwebs from any of my three recent purchases or from my 5 month old.
