Pros: Good picture quality and wifi reception. Seems like Amcrest is security conscious since it forced a firmware update at first setup.

Cons: You have to download a plug-in to watch the live video stream in FireFox. Lastpass doesn't work with the browser login page.

Overall Review: I have owned this camera for about a month now. Before this one I had always bought D-Link cameras. I was looking for something less expensive that I could put outside in a well covered carport (this camera is not rated for outdoor use). The carport is a good 30+ feet from my house and the wireless signal has to go though one interior and one exterior wall before traveling the 30+ feet to the car port. I am able to pull an average of 25-30FPS in black&white mode over the wifi and there is only occasional lag in the video, which I think is acceptable for running a 720P video over wifi that far and though walls. Before purchasing this camera I purchased a D-Link DCS-5029L for in my kitchen to watch the back door. The Amcrest IPM-721S is superior to the D-Link camera in every way and it cost about half as much (the D-Link DCS-5029L is currently listed for $149.99). Recently my D-Link has actually had issues and I'm in contact with them to try and get an RMA. During initial setup the camera automatically downloaded the latest firmware (which I think is great). This leads me to believe that Amcrest is security conscious about it's I.O.T. (Internet Of Things) devices. The fact that lastpass doesn't work in FireFox for the browser login screen also hints at this, though this could also just be a bug. **One important thing to note. When you first setup this camera the video quality is bad. It took me some time to figure out that the default FPS is set to a very low setting. You have to login to the camera, go to Setup > Camera > Video and in that screen there are drop down boxes for the FPS for both the main stream and the sub stream, you want to set both of those to the max of 30 and that will fix the bad video quality. I'm using this camera as well as my other D-Link cameras in ispy on a dedicated computer. This camera definitely took the most time to get setup correctly in ispy since the video URLs are not what I was used to with the D-Link cameras. I'm currently using the MJPEG URL http://usernamehere:passwordhere@IPaddresshere:80/video/mjpg.cgi -UPDATE 4/29/2016- I have purchased a second one of these cameras to replace the D-Link DCS-5029L in my kitchen that after only two months of use has become so blurry and laggy that motion detection in ispy no longer works. The Amcrest camera I put up in the carport is still working fine.

Pros: It cleans the lens.

Cons: Microfiber cloths aren't as soft as they should be. The solution is in a blank bottle.

Overall Review: Bought it for my Canon Rebel XT. I only use the hand blower anymore, I purchsed a better cleaning kit from Canon.

Pros: Excellent video quality. Everything you need is included. Has lots of extra features. Records in 3 minute clips, once the MicroSD card is full it automatically overwrites existing clips (oldest first).

Cons: Some of the extra features require you to manually activate them, for example night vision and parking monitoring. 64GB is the maximum size MicroSD card you can use.

Overall Review: This is my first dash camera and so far I am very happy with it. I'm a systems engineer for a managed I.T. company so I drive everyday to different clients. It did not take me long to realize that there are some amazingly horrible drivers out there and that I should probably get a dashcam. The camera arrived very quickly and in good condition. Out of the box the camera is pretty much ready to go, just install the included MicroSD card and mount it in your car. Once the camera receives power it will start recording automatically. I have not messed with the additional features like parking monitoring and night vision too much, mostly because they require me to manually turn them on. I also am not using the included GPS tracker. I have ordered a 64gb MicroSD card to replace the included 32gb just because I want to try and get a full week of recordings on one card before the camera automatically overwrites the oldest clips. I'm currently getting about 3-4 days with the 32gb card. I have not used the included software. You can put the microSD card into any card reader and watch the video clips in Windows Media Player (or whatever video player you prefer).

Pros: None

Cons: No drivers for anything newer than Windows 98/ME.

Overall Review: I searched everywhere for a driver to get this card working in my Windows 2008 x64 server and found nothing, not even on the VIA website. Waste of money! and it will cost more to ship back than I paid for the stupid thing, so I am out $8.

Pros: I loved this speaker while it lasted! It sounded great for it's cost and size.

Cons: The speaker wire.

Overall Review: I purchased this on 6/7/2013 to use mostly in my bathroom to listen to podcasts and occasionally to take on travels. It was exposed to high moisture conditions on a daily basis and I was sure that the moisture would eventually kill it, however it never did. It was the retractable speaker wire that caused it's demise. Just before Christmas of 2014 I lost one of the speakers but I noticed that if I wiggled the wire down near the jack I could sometimes get the stereo (both speakers) back working. That lasted for 1-2 weeks before I got no audio from it at all. I'm 100% sure that the copper inside the wire where it goes into the jack had broken due to constantly pulling it out and rewinding it back in. I tried cutting off the plug about an inch up the wire and splicing on an old headphone jack but I could not get it to work. So in conclusion, this is a great speaker, but I highly recommend leaving the wire out all the time, do not rewind and pull it out a lot or this will probably happen to you too.

Pros: I'm running 3 of these webcams on a Core2 Quad HP XW4600 Workstation running Windows Server 2008 R2 with 8GB DDR2 6400 RAM. I use Ispy software to use the cameras as a security system. See my 3/11/2013 review for detailed steps.

Cons: None

Overall Review: This is a follow up to my review "Works great as security camera" on 3/11/2013. I was able to successfully get these cameras working on a Windows 2008 R2 x64 server by installing the Desktop Experience feature. 1. Open Server Manager: click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and click Server Manager. 2. In the Features Summary section, click Add features. 3. Select the Desktop Experience check box, and then click Next. 4. Complete the wizard by clicking Install.

Very quick shipping on my Falcon Zero F170 dash camera. Item arrived in good condition.
