Review: Problem issue resolved - Problem /issue resolved to my satisfaction today.thank you.
Review: Awesome, well built camera with bright infrared - To give a little backstory, I’m a security camera hobbyist and I have installed multiple camera systems throughout the years. From box systems to piecing together systems, I’ve had experience with quite a few cameras in my business, home, and helping others as well. Full disclosure, this is my first time with a 4k camera as well as PoE. My parents home is in an area that seems to be trafficked by a lot of unsavory people, and most recently, had two cars broken into in the garage. I had installed a Night Owl 1080p BNC system as well as a 1080p Wyze Cam as a backup. While it alerted me to the burglary in progress, the video was too blurry to use to ID the thieves, and they were released. This has made me interested in something better than what I currently use, which is how I found the Amcrest 4k PoE on desertcart. I’ve never used a PoE before, but it seems it’s the direction that the industry is going. I was told I needed a PoE infuser (1 camera), or a PoE switch (multiple cameras) to provide power over the ethernet cable, so I picked up an infuser as well. When I finally received the camera and opened it, my first impression of it was how well made it was. Most of the cameras I’ve installed were made of plastic, but this Amcrest camera was entirely metal. Very solid build quality right off the bat. Next thing to do was to connect everything up prior to the installation. Honestly, I didn’t even read the instructions, but it took me about 5 mins to connect up everything and another 10 mins to download the app and get the picture on my phone. Extremely simple hook up, and I can see why PoE has become the default nowadays. The QR code setup definitely contributed to the speed of the setup. Once I confirmed that everything was working, I saw that the camera could take a microSD card for internal storage. This is probably one of the only drawbacks of the camera as you have to physically open up the camera to install the SD card. If you’re haven’t done something like this before, it would be easy to pull the wrong wire out, or not put everything back together correctly again as the weatherproof seal needs to be lined up exactly. Not a major issue, but just something worth noting. On to the camera itself…the images that it produces are extremely clear. I mounted the camera pointing at the driveway as I wanted the best camera at the point of entry to be able to see detail. I’m used to using 1080p cameras, so the level of detail the Amcrest has is definitely much clearer. Here is a still picture of the level of detail in 4k. You can see the license plate clearly when you magnify it. While pictures in full sunlight are usually decent quality on 1080p cameras, my main interest was the details the camera could take at night. Here are two side by side comparisons of a Wyze Cam vs the Amcrest in the same area. As you can see, the Amcrest has a wider field of view and a lot more detail at night. One thing worth noting is that the Wyze Cam picture seems brighter, but only because of the infrared light from the Amcrest. The infrared light on the Amcrest floods the entire area much better than infrared lights on any camera I’ve ever used. While the camera does have a motion detection notification feature, it doesn’t differentiate between shadows and real people. I’m still trying to tweak the settings to minimize or eliminate false alarms, but I hope that there will be some type of person detection features in the future. Still, the notifications are a useful feature that alerts me to motion when its triggered. Amcrest Cloud is also a very nice feature that will get you up and going without much setup. I do prefer the Amcrest View Pro app over the Cloud app as I found that the Cloud app does have a pretty substantial lag. The View Pro app has almost zero lag on notifications and live view. I also use the Surveillance Pro program for PC which is great for live view as well. All the programs used seem to be pretty user friendly although I couldn’t get the email function to work. There does seem to be a discrepancy between the phone app and the PC program when trying to adjust the motion detection area. All in all, I am extremely impressed with the build quality and the amount of detail this little camera puts out. Out of all the cameras I’ve used in my years, this is by far one of the best cameras for the money. Easy to setup, easy to use, and awesome build quality. If you’re looking for one of the best PoE 4k cameras available now without buying a box set, this would be the one. I know comparing a 4k camera to a 1080p isn't fair, but 1080p's were the standard for a while, and what I had. If you were on the fence about upgrading to a higher resolution camera, 4k is definitely the way to go, but keep in mind it's currently about 3-4x as expensive.
