Ideal for testing pets

I've always been hesitant to put a camera indoors for privacy reasons, but with an aging dog who is very afraid of separation and thunderstorms, I needed something to test him outside the home. My first camera was from Simplisafe which came free with a full alarm pack. It did the job well, but it only covered one of the two places my stressed dog goes. Enter the Amcrest Camera! I placed this camera in the same place as the Simplisafe camera and started the installation. It was so intuitively…

Pros
  • Top marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

Supports ONVIF - Works with Milestone Xprotect

So far I am satisfied with this camera. I use it with my Milestone system - the video quality is excellent and it has some nice features. I found the performance on the 2.4GHz WiFi to be adequate. It's not perfect, but it works well enough. The camera supports ONVIF, although initially I had trouble connecting it to Milestone. Strangely, when I used the "address range" option to add it to Milestone, it worked. The device has a speaker and microphone that enable two-way communication. This works

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • I really don't like it, everything is fine

Great camera for the price!

I've really liked this camera so far. I've used it as a combo security camera and occasionally to keep an eye on our pets while we're at work. Setup was quick and easy after downloading the app. During setup, I was given the option to only connect to the 2.4GHz network. Only 2.4Mhz WiFi should be fine for almost every use case, so it's not a problem for me. What I really liked about the setup was all the different options that could be used to save videos. You have the option to store all…

Excellent video/image quality from the Wi-Fi based camera!

I bought this camera to replace my Foscam R2, another wireless 1080 camera that has served me well for many years. After installing this Amcrest replacement in its place, which really didn't take long other than finding the IP address and connecting it to Wi-Fi via the web interface, I was amazed at the picture quality. My wife was the same one we use to monitor our house exit/entry points and look for cats. Foscam was as good as it gets. These cameras must have a better video processing chip…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Strap

Decent camera, terrible software

The camera looks good enough out of the box. It is USB micro powered and comes with a USB charger and 10ft cable. After that the user experience went bad and I will blame the application for everything. I already have an Amcrest doorbell, I use Amcrest Smart Home, but this camera uses Amcrest Viewer Pro. Neither app works with the other camera. The picture and sound quality is good. It took me 20 minutes to set up the camera, attempts to Wi-Fi, wired and back to Wi-Fi failed. Using the app, I…

  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Functionality

By far the BEST PTZ camera in this price range that I have ever used!

This review is written from the perspective of a user who has installed and used multiple Wi-Fi and wired cameras in their home for more than 10 years. Please note that I have cameras that record to the NVR as well as cameras that simply record to the installed micro SD card. For the purposes of this review, the NVR setup was NOT used, but a micro SD card was used.1.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • I don't remember
