Camera arrived today. Professional packaging, lots of attachments included with the camera. Looks like it will be a great camera. Leave for vacation in 2 weeks, the reason for the purchase. Will update once it is put to the test of underwater video. exited to use the camera.

It will probably be difficult to express how impressed I am with AOSU products!! Based on some positive reviews, I took a leap of faith and ordered four (4) of the 2K Indoor cameras, a set of the AOSU wireless outdoor security cameras and the AOSU video doorbell. I was replacing a much more expensive security set up, which was touted as being “Simple” and “Safe”, but what ended up being Simply a pain in the a$$!I installed all six (6) cameras and the video doorbell this morning. From the opening of the first box to sitting down on the sofa, marveling at the picture quality and ease of operation was about 35 minutes. What a complete joy it is to find a product that is so simple to install, with ZERO problems encountered!!Once installed, I played around with the different settings in the AOSU app and dialed in the camera angles and detection zones. Major kudos also to the app for the stress free and user friendly design!!All in all, I would not hesitate to call this purchase “THE VERY BEST” Amazon experience to date!!!I have attached a few pictures from the cameras and door bell, so you too can see the clarity and detail!! If you are looking for top notch video surveillance and do not was to spend a fortune, look no further than AOSU!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty solid choice of camera. I am new to the 3D camera so there will be a bunch of things to learn. Nevertheless, I love the camera.

The overall quality of this camera is very good for its price. I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone who needs a budget camera.

The camera is easy to use and can follow your baby around the room. The camera has lullabies and the option to pair more then one camera.

I needed a second camera to add to my current Arlo Pro camera and hub. I chose the essentials spotlight camera and it connected flawlessly to my current hub and works just like my original camera.

Very cool camera. Good price for the resolution and quality of camera. Can't wait to try it out in water. Food starter camera.

I purchased this PoE camera as a direct replacement for an older Amcrest PoE camera, which has given me a couple years of perfect performance. The camera being replaced is an IP2M-851EW, which includes a similar fixed dome lens setup with 1080p @ 30fps, 128 degree viewing angle, IP67 with 98ft. night vision. I want to highlight the definite performance advances with this newer camera.InstallationI have installed several different types of bullet and dome cameras, and this one is just as easy and solid as any other out there. Amcrest provides a template for screw placement (I did not need it) and any adjustments past needing a screwdriver can be made with the included tool. The camera was well boxed and padded.The first thing I noticed was a white balance difference, between the two cameras. It is apparent that the lens is calibrated to a more natural tone. Saturation also appears to be more accurate as well. For activity at a distance it will be much easier on this 4K camera to pick out identifying details, in comparison to the previous 1080p feed.Zooming in with the AmcrestViewPro app (no optical lens zoom) the 4K quality really shines at a distance. If my neighbors across the street had a theft occur with entry to their front door or vehicle, I would now have a decent chance of catching some identifying features, as opposed to the previous 1080p camera.Night Picture QualityThere is a noticeable improvement in low light capability, allowing me to now see some clear low light definition at the end of my driveway, where the old IP2M did not reach. The IP2M advertised 98ft. night vision capability, while this IP8M boasts up to 164ft! What really improves the low light capability is removing near-field reflections of the IR LED’s (hanging plant) and toying with image adjustments such as brightness and contrast. Distance clarity shows a marked improvement!Picture AdjustmentsAttempting to improve the night vision capability using picture adjustments had mixed results. Object definition at a distance improved slightly with increased brightness and contrast, but at the cost of a grainier image. I believe that factory calibration on this camera is optimal and maximizing night vision will be dependent on removing near-field object reflections and adding ambient lighting at a distance. Exceedingly bright lights within view can cause the rest of the field to dim as the camera adjusts for the lighting. The claim of 164ft. night vision capability is probably accurate but requires the correct setup.Viewing AngleI was hesitant to purchase a camera with a smaller viewing angle (112° in the IP8M vs 128° in the IP2M!) since I need wide coverage, but I would be hard pressed not to believe that the IP8M isn’t actually wider in my application.OverallOverall, this Amcrest 4K POE camera fit the bill. It was exceedingly easy to set up with the included QR code and a smart phone, using the AmcrestViewPro app on an Iphone. I can only assume it is just as easy on Android, as I have been using this App for some time and it has developed well. There was a modest improvement in night vision capability over the older generation 1080p camera, but it really shines in picture resolution and color accuracy. The app is relatively intuitive to use, including motion detection which allows you to be very specific in what spots of the picture trigger an alarm, which can be set for push notifications and even email, including photos and video clips. I have not yet used the cloud recording service, but unless you have an NVR, that will do just fine at a subscription price. I would recommend this camera and definitely the Amcrest brand over many others, they are rock solid in the home surveillance arena.
