Easy to set up, good features, limited playback options
First, the good.Setup is easy. You can install Amcrest View Pro from the app/play store. Setup basically involves scanning the QR code on the bottom of the camera, turning the volume up on your phone, and waiting while your phone makes noises at the camera.For a camera this inexpensive, the feature set is very good.It supports saving recordings to FTP (with username and password), SD card, or an NFS NAS. NFS support is likely NFSv2/3 and not v4. The SD card can be used as a primary or backup storage destination.HTTPS SSL certificates are supported, including certificate import and self signed certificates.Wired and wireless network configuration are both supported, and interfaces can be prioritized.Now the bad.- I bought two cameras. One of them has constant mechanical noise which makes it's way into the recordings, and can also be heard during live view.- There doesn't seem to be any playback software available from Amcrest which will play back media stored on anything except the SD card or their cloud product. I'm currently saving media to an FTP server, and will be rolling out ZoneMinder soon.Overall, I like these cameras. It's clear that whoever worked on the firmware knew what they were doing, and did a pretty good job of figuring out what users were going to expect. I will be buying more of these cameras, as long as ZoneMinder can fulfill the role of an NVR.Update 2021-01-23: ZoneMinder worked fine, but I couldn't get PTZ to work. I didn't try really hard.I like the cameras enough that I bought two more, and I'm about to buy two more.
