Review on 📷 Amcrest 5MP Outdoor Vandal Dome Security Camera | POE IP Camera with 98ft Night Vision | 2.8mm Lens | IP67 & IK10 Resistant | MicroSD 256GB (Sold Separately) | Cloud and NVR Compatible (IP5M-D1188EW-28MM) by Mark Jefferson

I installed this camera on the side of the house where there is no embrasure to install the camera. I decided it should be mounted parallel to the floor so I bought a set of 2 pack Ares Vision CCTV Universal Wall Brackets for the ABS plastic https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DNF6DDG /ref= ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which worked fine with a little modification. The first two photos I uploaded show the mount. I cut a hole to allow the cable from the camera to fit better and I marked the two screw holes with purple arrows to show how I attached the camera to them. This mount is not waterproof so I put a cover on it. on top SDS DS-1250ZJ Universal Camera Sun Shade Rain Cover for Outdoor Camera https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018WJQL0S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I uploaded what the camera looks like with everything , what is available. The lid could have been a bit larger for this setup, but it was the largest size I could find on Revain for this model. The mount is not waterproof. Even though the camera is there, I still didn't want water getting into the mount. Nothing good will come of it. I like the web interface of this camera. I have several Amcrest cameras and they all have an interface. My main model is (IP8M-2493EW). It is very similar to this one except it has 4k video. I set my camera to a static IP to record motion alert videos and email me if it thinks they're fake (someone/something is getting too close to the camera). I like that you can set the time, tell the camera to sync the time with a time server, and set it to automatic for Daylight Saving Time. When you set daylight saving time, you even say when to start and when to end. So I set up this camera so that Daylight Saving Time begins on the 2nd Sunday in March and ends on the 1st Sunday in November. I like the option Amcrest has included to check and update the firmware. I've seen it work on other cameras, but it doesn't work on this one. I even checked their website (https://amcrest.alphahosting.cloud/firmwaredownloads#searchbox) if there is an update for IP5M-D1188E and found nothing. a tool that allows you to search for new cameras and even find those currently on your network. You can see the camera's model, IP, ports, Mac and serial number. You can even enter the camera using the Amcrest Config Tool. I've uploaded a day and night image so you can see the quality. Sunlight is set just below the camera, so the photo I uploaded was taken due to movement, and that movement should have caused the sunlight to turn on as well. I will try to add what is not done during camera alarm so you can see night vision.
