## Description

AMCREST 5MP ULTRAHD OUTDOOR SECURITY IP TURRET

Review: AI-V3 model - I have a few amcrest cameras now, I wanted another for the side garden where the kids play and we can't see them from inside. The quality is excellent, night vision is good at a decent range, it does H264 as well as H265 so it works perfectly with Frigate, also support RTMP and ONVIF for those that might need those features. It has a load of extra features too for detection etc, FTP upload and the usual privacy masks etc, I don't use any of those features as I have it connected to frigate so I've turned them off. Note, the posting said it was the 28MM model but what I actually received is the AI-V3 model. I think they're the same hardware, or at least appear to be, but the AI-V3 is newer. Powered by PoE or also has a barrel jack, no power supply included. A feature I found in the firmware on this model that some of my older models didn't ship with, but later got on updates is WDR (wide dynamic range), which makes it even better for outdoor areas where there is a lot of sunlight that might cause parts of the image to be blown out and top bright. Paid about £65 for this which is half the price of other models I've bought from amcreat, such as the 8MP bullet camera which is a bargain price for the quality. The sphere part (eyeball) is heavy and made from metal, has a screw closed door with a gasket for water proofing, on it for an microSD which I don't use, the housing (eye socket) is plastic but nice quality with good mounting hardware. Web UI is the typical amcrest one which is perfectly functional but I find very little need to use beyond initial setup since I use a "NVR" (Frigate) to connect to the video atreams.
Review: Excellent Entry-Level POE Camera - This is my first outdoor IP camera, and I was very interested because I wanted a hard-wired POE camera with multiple storage mediums and compatibility with custom NVR/NAS recording solutions (Blue Iris, Synology Surveillance Station, etc) should I choose to set one up later. The camera arrived packaged securely and neatly with documentation, anchors & screws, mounting template, mounting plate (which designates which holes to use if mounting to a junction box), and screw-type weather covers for power and ethernet (should you choose to run the wires external to the unit rather than through the frame). This camera has 2 plugs (12V and Ethernet) should you choose to not utilize the POE feature. I purchased the Amcrest FSE801A Active POE injector as it had good reviews and a reasonable price. Before mounting, I made a temporary ethernet cable to test camera functionality and determine optimal mounting position to make the most of the viewing angle (103°) in the area I would be monitoring. Installation went smoothly and without event. Upon power-up in the final location, the camera immediately provided the expected image and quality as previewed before. Even with this more basic camera model without all the bells and whistles, there are still plenty of configuration options for video, network, storage, and event-based notifications. I performed most of the configuration through the web-based UI but many features are also configurable through the View Pro mobile app. I initially tested the camera with local IP settings, but have since been using the DDNS methodology for remote viewing. That part of the setup is not for the faint of heart, but if you are somewhat tech-savvy and can read documentation and scour forums it should yield the results you need. Otherwise, Amcrest does offer tech support which seems to be able to fix most setup issues from the posts I have read. I attached a few pictures showing day and night screenshots with almost out-of-the-box configurations, which I'm sure could be tweaked a bit more. For my purposes, they are plenty sufficient. I have been utilizing the motion-based recording to SD card with push notifications for video clips. The notifications have been very reliable, and thus far I have had a very smooth experience with both the View Pro mobile app and the WebUI. I plan to add an Amcrest NVR with WD Purple drive as well as additional 5MP+ POE cameras to begin building out my first system. For the price, I am very happy with the performance and stability of this camera. One thing to note is that there have been reported issues about not having firmware available for backup or update. I confirmed through the WebUI that I am not able to check firmware revision nor whether it is current, and Amcrest does not list this camera on their firmware page. If you do some digging, you can find the equivalent Dahua firmware which will unlock IVS and is also more likely to be updated.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the camera support Onvif?**
A: Yes, this Amcrest 5MP PoE Camera does support ONVIF. However, please note that there are several different Versions and Types of ONVIF so we recommend checking the version/type before integrating with your existing 3rd-party system. For full compatibility, we do recommend using with Amcrest branded NVRs/DVRs and IP cameras.

**Q: do I need anything else other then to download the ap to my phone and this camera?**
A: The camera is a PoE Camera that is powered over Ethernet and will require you to provide your own Ethernet cable, as one is not included in the box. The reason we do not include a Cat5E cable in the box is because all of our customers have different use cases and length requirements. 

All you will need to do is plug the camera directly into a PoE router/modem or PoE Switch/Injector to provide power to the camera. Once the camera is connected via PoE to your network, you will simply download the Amcrest View Pro app from the app store, and follow the quick start guide, pasted below.

**Q: Can you please point to a POE injector to use with this camera, to avoid guessing ?**
A: Please copy and paste this link into a browser for our Amcrest PoE Injector, or search for ASIN: B00CDT4OR6 in the Amazon search bar. 

https://www.amazon.com/Amcrest-Injector-Adapter-802-3af-Compliant/dp/B00CDT4OR6/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Amcrest+POE+injector&qid=1606505665&sr=8-3

**Q: For mounting outside on the side of a concrete wall, do i need an extra mount?, if so, which one please (camera ip5m-t1179ew-28mm)**
A: The PFB203W Water-Proof Wall Mount Bracket for Dahua Dome Camera [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FPNHJBW] works great for this camera and makes it easy to install. You can even push the cable with the ethernet jack in the mount to shield it from the elements.
