Review: Crisp picture. A first step in AI for Amcrest. No intruder protection, so mount it high. - Instructions: The bulk of the instructions were discussing how to set up the camera. The process is very similar to other Amcrest PoE cameras, with either IP or P2P options. There was one page at the back discussing how to set up the AI features. It seems almost like an afterthought. If Amcrest is targeting a higher usage rate for the AI features, I would recommend including a dedicated section within the user manual specifically explaining how to use the IVS and other AI features, complete with step-by-step instructions on how to set up a "smart plan" with photos. The instructions should also mention that the AI features are experimental and are not 100% accurate all the time. Functionality: The 8MP 4K camera is generally the very best resolution in home security. I was very happy with it compared to the 5MP camera that I previously had. The "night color" feature is a little misleading: yes, there is a white LED on the front of the camera that can light up, and the camera will be able to see colors due to the light, but any camera can see color during the day or in a well-lit area. If it is truly nighttime and there is no light, or very little light, this camera must rely on IR and the image shows up as black and white, again which is standard. This camera, same as any other camera, cannot see color in "total darkness" as advertised. Although I did not test the audio, I would like to see Amcrest be able to integrate the audio with other more popular camera providers like the Ring doorbell. It would increase adoption and help consumers potentially unify a disparate suite of cameras from several different manufacturers on a single property. Also to note: this camera does not have enhanced protection against physical threats, like some of the other Amcrest cameras. This camera should ideally be mounted high up on a solid wall where it cannot easily be reached by intruders. Of course customers should be aware of the usual with PoE cameras: there is no automatic pan/zoom/tilt despite the circular shape and the camera must be hardwired into an Ethernet cable in order to provide power and data. For outdoor mounting this may require weatherproofing (a weatherproofing sleeve is included) to accommodate cable drops. Overall experience: The AI features were a novelty but not significant. In my testing, the AI face detection offered limited choices ("confused", "happy") and was wrong just as often as it was right. Nevertheless I think Amcrest is moving in the right direction by establishing the IVS platform and starting to incorporate AI into its products. This is extremely important for the future. The white LED feature with motion detection serves as a deterrent, which is wonderful, but standard on outdoor cameras. Overall this is a very good 4K outdoor camera with excellent resolution and many of the standard features including IR, motion detection, and lighting, including some novel exploratory "AI" features. I would like to see this camera have true, useful AI that can detect threats highly accurately. I would also like to see this camera have enhanced protection against physical threats.
Review: Another reliable IP camera in my house - This camera has several features that make it stand out from the rest, such as a 49ft night vision, a built-in microphone, a human and vehicle detection system, an active deterrent function, and a 129° field of view. It can also record at 4K resolution with 15 frames per second. The camera has a sturdy metal body and a flexible screw that allows you to adjust its position easily. The package includes everything you need to install the camera, such as the camera itself, a washer/nut, a small wrench, screws with plastic anchors, a paper template, and some manuals. The installation process is simple if you already have a CAT5 cable and a power source. You can power the camera through PoE or a 12V adapter. However, one drawback is that the camera does not have any indicator light to show that it is on. You can only verify that the camera is working by checking your router for new devices. This can be confusing for the user and should be improved. The setup of the vehicle and person detection system is straightforward and effective. The sensor performs well during the day and even better at night. The color feature is very impressive, especially when the flashlight is on. I have configured the flashlight to turn on when motion is detected. The deterrent light is quite bright and can be turned off through the web interface. The microphone is useful but the sound quality is average. The AI motion detection system is the highlight of this camera. It is accurate and only sends alerts when it detects humans or vehicles. The camera has a user-friendly interface that lets you adjust the settings and features of the camera with ease. There are many options to customize the settings according to your preferences and needs. You can access the interface by connecting the camera to your network and using a web browser to navigate to the camera's IP address. From there, you can adjust settings such as resolution, frame rate, and bitrate to optimize the camera's performance. You can also set up active deterrents, configure a secure HTTPS/SSL connection, and perform a factory reset if needed. The camera also supports Smart Motion Detection (SMD) events, which can be set up through the interface. One thing I really like is that you can choose from several storage options, such as FTP, SD card, etc. This means you do not need a cloud-based subscription that many other brands offer. The Amcrest View Pro app is great on iPhone, but it does not have all the settings that are available on the web interface. The only thing I did not like about the web interface is that it does not allow you to paste usernames or passwords, which is inconvenient if you want to set up an advanced password and paste it upon login. Amcrest provides detailed documentation and quick start guides to help you get started with your camera. You can find these resources on the Amcrest support website. Overall, this camera seems to be a great investment for those who want to protect their house with a smart PoE camera system that records 24/7.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely Happy With the Camera!
*by C***S on 13 January 2024*

Review for: Amcrest 4K Night Color AI Turret IP PoE Camera 49ft Full Color Nightvision, Security IP Camera, Built-in Microphone, Human Detection, Perimeter Protection, 129° FOV, 4K@15fps IP8M-2779EB-AI (Black) This is another amazing product from Amcrest. I already own have the 5MP Turret( IP5M-T1277EW) and this 4K version is an excellent upgrade. The cameras practically have the same features, but the IP8M-2779EB has 4K video resolution. The box says the it uses H.265 HEVC compression but you can change that to H.264 (which might be necessary to use the footage in other third party applications [Like APPLE HOMEKIT via Scrypted]). This change and lots of other settings can be done in the camera's web interface (just type the camera's IP address into the browser). I've found that the web interface is all that I really need to configure that camera settings. I have the AmcrestViewPro app on my iPhone, but it's isn't very user friendly. I typically use the app to scan the camera's QR code and (after at least one app crash) set up my login info for the web interface. Pros: - Easy to set up and use - Very solid build quality - Great picture, even at night - Very useful web interface - PERFECT for adding to APPLE HOMEKIT via Scrypted because a) the price, b) the H.264 video codec, c) You can have the main full quality video stream and set up two other sub-streams that are lower resolution. Cons: - I wish that the frame rate FPS was a bit high. It's 15 FPS, which is pretty typical for this type of 4K camera. My other Amcerst Turret ( IP5M-T1277EW) actually goes up to 20, but it isn't 4K. - I wish that the app experience was better, but the web interface is great, and there are lots of other third party software that will work with this camera. - The camera seemed to get a bit warm while I was testing it in the house. That's probably fine, since it has a metal body. - My camera came with what appears to be a small crack or a piece of debris inside of the lenses housing (see photo). It doesn't seem to impact the camera footage in any way, but this is why I deducted a star. I'm very happy with this camera and will likely get a few more and an NVR to finish out my security system.
