The Amcrest UltraHD 4K (8MP) Outdoor Bullet POE IP Camera, 3840x2160, 131ft NightVision, 2.8mm Lens, IP67 Weatherproof, MicroSD Recording, White (IP8M-2496EW-28MM) is my 11th Amcrest camera I've purchased over the last 3 years (all are still in service). I added the IP8M-2496EW-28MM to my barn group to better monitor our miniature therapy horses in their turnout. This is a POE camera that I have connected to a WI-FI network that's P2P linked from the barn to my home WI-FI mesh. I use a TP-Link PoE injector and a TP-Link access point in the barn. The P2P from the barn to the house is with Ubiquiti Nanostation M2's. I installed the Orbi mesh and everything else to have a separate high performance network to handle the video load to my Amcrest NVR and I've been really happy with it so far. Installation: As with all the other Amcrest cameras, the actual setup of the camera was the easiest part, once the twisted pair wiring was run. This particular model gives a little more room to mount the camera with the mounting screws without mangling the bullet body, which has been a rub for me on previous versions, so that's a plus. I also give Amcrest a thumbs up for making the connection kit opening large enough to fit the cat5/6 tip through. It's the small things that make a difference. Overall setup time once the twisted pair was in place was about 5 minutes. For my network I always set the camera configuration to use static IP addresses otherwise it's chaos, and I ensure the camera is set to reboot once a week whether it needs it or not. Edit: this was my error. Got it working. I did notice that something changed in the last couple of months that won't run the Amcrest web view plugin in Chrome or Edge but I haven't taken the time to figure it out as I always use the mobile app to view my cameras. Viewing Angle: One of the feature I rely on is a wide viewing angle. This camera has a 112 degree view and not much distortion in this view. Sometimes with wide angle lenses you can get a good bit of a fish-eye effect, but there's very little of this with this camera. I'm able to see nearly all of the horse paddock with one camera, and I see the little bit that's not covered with this camera with an older camera in a different location. Video Quality: I'm pretty impressed with the quality of the video on this unit, both daylight and night vision. There's no chop even when zoomed in. Even the nigh vision is pretty crisp with the horses within 20-30 feet of the camera. In the photo i've uploaded you can even see the fencing at the far end of their paddock which is about 70 feet from the camera. Build Quality/Reliability: I've only had the camera installed 24 hours, but it's made of rugged materials (steel/aluminum I suppose), and is IP67 certified for weather resistance. I have several Amcrest cameras installed that are directly exposed to the harsh northern Illinois climate, and as long as you protect the power/network connectors, the cameras are durable. So far I like this one. The video quality is great, super easy setup, and a nice, wide viewing angle. Keep up the great work Amcrest.

Purchased 11/11/2020 PROS: Very good daylight image quality Supports H.265 and H.264 codecs Supports two substreams Works well with Blue IRIS ( not signal glitches or drops, Amcrest settings work) Works with Alexa ( via Monocle in my case) Solid build quality Competitively priced CONS: Out of the Box firmware is a non starter crippling the usefulness of Night vision settings Super Wide Angle Lens has some distortion towards the edges of the image Night vision seems perhaps not as good as other cameras such as Hikvision - Verdict is still out still adjusting settings. More difficult to aim this camera than some. Must hold the camera in position while tightening a screw. FIRMWARE ISSUES: ( Make sure to reset camera to default settings after update to avoid more issues) The outdated firmware that came with this camera left a poor first impression. Once the firmware was updated the following issues were resolved: (Thank You Amcrest) 1. Web interface works with Chrome. (internet explorer extension to Chrome ceases to function after upgrade ) 2. Night vision settings now automatically toggle with smart IR ( the old firmware would not toggle Night settings when the IR activated yielding a dark image) 3. Substreams now how multiple resolution settings and not just VGA (640x480) This is important to me because I use Blue Iris software and set the main stream to H265 codec . I also like to view the cameras using ALEXA which does not support H265. I use substream 2 set to 1080P for ALEXA SHOW. I use Monoclecam.com to feed Alexa the stream signon for the camera. 4. On Screen Display location of time and camera name difficult to place. Bottom line: For the price this is a solid camera that provides a very good to excellent image once the firmware is upgraded. My verdict on night vision is still out but I remain hopeful that the settings can be dialed in with the new firmware.

Hasta el momento no me ha fallado, y ha aguantado ambientes de calor y lluvia muy bien.
