Review on Anpviz 5MP PoE IP Dome Camera - Outdoor Night Vision 98ft, Motion Alert, Weatherproof IP66 Indoor/Outdoor, Wide Angle 2.8mm Lens by Jim Fuhrer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

cheap good camera

This is a good camera that works with my amcrest nv4108 NVR compression. - There's a microphone if you want it, but I usually cut the wires. - Good wide viewing angle. CONS - A camera that suddenly switched from DHCP to a static address after a few days of work and I had to download the SADP tool to find it again. - the wide angle is good but not as deep as a bullet camera PITA for installation as you have to remove the cover and screw to the mounting surface, position correctly and then put the cover on. two people are working and ideally they have an nvr setup to look at. - No camera factory reset and no MAC address information documented on the camera at all if you want to try to find it on your network. - The web interface is unreliable and doesn't offer much control, NVR. - no local storage for videos - pretty sure someone in China is also watching my video. The screenshot shows the bitrate where D2 uses h.264 instead of h.265. I use variable bitrate instead of constant bitrate to save bandwidth without noticeable quality issues.

Pros
  • Security Cameras
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
