Review on 📷 Anpviz 5MP H.265 IR Dome IP Camera PoE with Microphone - Enhanced Security Solution by Draek Villareal

I was looking for a cheaper camera for my garage than the Amcrest cameras I have all over the house. My Amcrest NVR doesn't usually work well with other cameras, but with a little tweaking I got this camera working and had no problems. (I tested other cameras that crashed the remote app or just didn't work). A couple of key things I like about this camera compared to the Amcrest cameras I have is that I didn't have to install any third party apps. Software for registering, configuring and viewing cameras. That's important to me because I always get tired of it. Secondly, being IT full-time I am always concerned about products 'calling home' and I have been working with cameras for almost two weeks and so far they have not addressed anything that might cause problems. (I've seen other cameras connecting directly to IP addresses from other countries, and you can also block the entire internet by changing DNS servers). I don't use it in the highest resolution, but I tested it and had no problems. Personally, I prefer my cameras to run at 30 fps, so like my other cameras, I limit them to 1080p. The sensor works best in both dark and light areas as seen in my photos. I liked that they developed many settings that allowed me to adjust the exposure the way I wanted. For me I wanted the garage to be represented as best as possible as I have a different camera in the driveway. In short, if you're looking for a decent camera with features that work with NVRs, this is a great camera. That's about half the price of an Amcrest camera of the same resolution, and I plan to buy a couple of these for my in-laws for their outdoor cameras once they move into their house.
