Amazing little IP camera
I bought this as a test unit to play around with RTSP streaming, and discovered that it is actually pretty feature-packed for a sub-$50 PTZ IP cam. (Although there really is no Z, only P & T. This is a fixed focal length cam.) The video quality is very good at 1080p and if you set your bitrate carefully, it barely puts a dent in your LAN. While some might consider the 2.4 GHz only wifi a disadvantage, it is actually not a bad deal as the 2.4 GHz signal has better distance and penetration than the 5 GHz signal. USB power makes using the camera very simple using any a micro-USB cable and a USB charger than can provide 2.4 A. The supplied USB cable is quite long allowing for flexible mounting with the sturdy, included mount.Setup was actually easier than the instructions suggested. Using the phone app for the initial setup was simplest. After that, using the web interface to set a static IP address for the wifi and wired interfaces is easy, and the web interface allows access to all the advanced functions of the camera. The web interface is not always intuitive, but it is possible to figure it out to get the camera configured the way you want it. What was not easy to figure out was how to access the RTSP stream, as the documentation is actually incorrect. Fortunately, the information can be found in the Amcrest support forums.The Android app works quite well, although the PTZ function is a bit fiddly. The default setting for PTZ adjustments moves the camera too quickly, making it difficult to make fine adjustments. PTZ movement from the web interface works more smoothly, and is adjustable. The phone app playback mode is actually better than the web interface mode.Night vision is quite good. I set mine up on the back porch, and it adequately illuminated the entire back yard, perhaps 50 feet away, with enough power to identify objects and animals. While this is designed for indoor use, I bet it would function well outdoors mounted in a sheltered location, say under a porch roof. Motion detection is a bit fiddly, but does work. You can set up to 4 detection areas with custom shapes and detection settings. Nice. There is a built-in microphone, and it does work to record audio and can be used to trigger recording or alarms. The microSD card slot is hidden on the bottom of the PTZ ball. Recording to it is simple.Overall, pretty feature-packed. If you are looking for an IP camera toy, or a simple but powerful security cam, this is a good intro model.

What superhero films should be!
Love that it focused on a story that was simple but fun. Did a great job lowering the modern-day complexity and wokeness in cinema and just had fun! Great film! Love Stallone!!!! Go, Balboa!!

Great Purchase
Very sleek and modern. My phonecase surface is slightly textured but I had no problems with adhesion. Easy directions. I wish the brand name could be removed from surface ugh!

Great floor lamp for the money!
I wanted a mid century modern brass color floor lamp. I changed out grow bulbs for the ones that came with, and it is nice to look at, and it helps my plants. It’s great!

Why are y'all hating?
I really loved this movie - it's obviously going to have a modern twist, considering it's been thirty years since the original! Be open-minded and just enjoy the funny elements in it.

Good looking lamps
These pharmacy lights anchored the space and was just the touch I was looking to compliment my mid century modern living space. The light are dimmable which I love and the price point was a bonus!
