Amcrest cameras also record to an internal MicroSD card (not included) as well as to any Amcrest Network Video Recorder (NVR) (not included). Each Amcrest camera features two-way talk, night vision, remote pan/tilt, enhanced digital zoom, a 90º viewing angle, smart motion alerts, advanced recording options, secure SSL/HTTPS connection and AES encryption. With the Amcrest ProHD, you'll never be out of the loop again.
Save your time with a simple setup process that can get you up and running on the Amcrest View mobile app in under 60 seconds. You don't have to be tech savvy to get setup quickly and painlessly. Simply power it on, download the app, scan the QR code, and within just a few taps you're ready to go. Day to day operations are a breeze thanks to the simple interface which allows you to take advantage of the camera's powerful features. The Amcrest ProHD camera has been meticulously designed to make plug and play setup a reality not just in theory, but in practice.
Featuring the latest Sony IMX322 progressive scanning image sensor and the Ambarella S2Lm chipset, the Amcrest ProHD soaks in the entire scene, dynamically painting all the vivid colors and rich imagery, pixel by pixel, onto your computer screen or smartphone in full 1920x1080 resolution at 30 frames per second (FPS). No need to strain your eyes, lean in close, or play the guessing game when you have this level of detail.
High definition recordings and snapshots are only as good as how quickly and easily they can be accessed. Amcrest Cloud was created to ensure that you don't miss anything, no matter where you are. Regardless of how far you are from home, you can login from a computer (PC or Mac) or through the Amcrest Cloud smartphone app to instantly pinpoint your footage through an intelligent timeline on an intuitive interface and play it back in seamless and brilliant 1080p quality. The Amcrest Cloud app also can be configured to send you on-the-go alerts. Unlimited live viewing, along with 4 hours of recorded storage is included free. Additional 7-day, 15-day, and 30-day storage plans are available starting at $6 per month.
In addition to Amcrest Cloud, the Amcrest ProHD camera can also record locally to a MicroSD card (not included), an FTP server, a NAS, onto your local computer, or to any Amcrest NVR (not included). You'll have full control over your recordings and can manage them however you'd like.
When it's not enough to just see what's going on, the Amcrest ProHD camera allows you to be there with built-in two-way audio. The camera contains an embedded speaker and mic and utilizes a state-of-the-art noise cancelling algorithm. Whether on your computer or smartphone, everything you say or hear will come through clearly and instantly so that you can be part of every story, every time.
The Amcrest View Pro app frees you from having to check in just to find out what's been happening lately. Instead, get immediate push notifications and alarm details sent to your smartphone while you're on the go. Launch straight into the app, choose an event from the Event List, and jump right to the relevant recording or snapshot. Life doesn't wait around, and neither should you.
Create distinct motion detection zones to completely customize control over what you're monitoring. This is an effective way to ensure that you only record what you need when its important. Each zone includes its own sensitivity and threshold meters so you can fine-tune it exactly to your liking. Let the Amcrest ProHD camera hold its focus so you don't have to lose yours.
Your stored recordings and pictures are precious, and having that data at hand is the whole point of using a security camera. Whether sharing with friends and family, or presenting evidence in a court case, it is important to be able to immediately identify, track down, playback, and export what you want, when you want it. The Amcrest ProHD camera's intuitive searchable timeline will make your life easier, save you time, and act as a sophisticated built-in video player.
Cutting-edge night vision technology allows you to get a crystal clear picture even when it's dark. This camera has 12 IR LEDs which transmit their infrared rays in a frequency imperceptible to the human eye. The IR lights cast brightly which provides an astounding 32 feet of night vision range. With this powerful feature, you can gain total awareness over the previously unseen and do so in a way that is undetectable.
Get a visual of the entire scene with fluid 360° pan/tilt visibility and a digital zoom function that constantly enhances and sharpens when you zoom in. With the ability to easily pan and tilt from wherever you are, on a computer or smartphone, you'll always be a few seconds away from a change of scenery.
A carefully crafted 4mm fixed lens with a max aperture of F2.2 generates striking visuals owing to the 90° viewing angle. With a field of view larger than what is built into most fixed bullet cameras, you will have no problem keeping what you care about in your sights.
The Amcrest ProHD camera features secure SSL connections via HTTPS as well as uses AES encryption for wireless devices to comply with modern WiFi standards for encrypted connections. This way you can always be assured that, as you play your footage, you're also playing it safe.
In addition to the power and Ethernet connections on the back panel, the Amcrest ProHD has 3.5mm audio input and output jacks, a MicroSD card slot, a network activity LED indicator and an alarm I/O port used for integration with home alarms.
Pros:
Easy setup
Wifi connection
Integrates with NVR's
Two-way audio
Night Vision
Cons: The tilt doesn't go below level, so you can't look down unless mounted at an angle.
Overall Review: This WiFi camera from Amcrest is very easy to setup. It took less than 5 minutes from start to finish. The ability to pan and tilt is very convenient and works smoothly. The camera doesn't make any noise when moving. You can also listen and talk through the camera. This works well with my family so I can keep track on the kids when they are home.
Pros:
Works well and only thing is it is better setup over wired to get to wireless.
Phone application does well if a little overly sensitive, so the Internet Explorer app does very well to compensate. Sensitivity is adjustable.
Edit: Be aware this is better for indoor viewing around 15'.
The PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) is fantastic and works very well.
Cons:
Use CAT5 cable if no wireless connection is made and not sure why it is an issue. (minor con)
Indoor looking outside greater than 15' is barely passable beyond getting an idea of the action.
Overall Review:
Not much went wrong and that is good.
Works well with some faffing about.
Be aware the 2MP is not that clear beyond a certain range (15' or so) such that an indoor cam looking out is not going to work well beyond very basic use.
Pros: Good Price, Good quality picture. PTZ works great, WIFI and ONVIF. Web interface to access camera settings works good. It only gets 3 eggs for the poor apple support and failed setup attempts.
Cons: The App for iphone is useless, Will not connect via wifi or wired for setup. It also will not connect after setup. As a matter of fact no mac or ios app provided by Amcrest will connect to this camera in any way shape or form. The only way to connect is via the browser and even though that works you can not see the video. Some sort of missing plugin is required that even after it's installed it does not work. To view on a mac I used 3rd party software. Chrome browser plugin or app doesn't work on the mac.
Overall Review:
If you can get it for less than $50, so far so good, I would recommend this to a tech, but not a family member or friend, too much support would be needed to get it going,
Seems okay for indoor use, but I doubt it will survive a fall to the floor, It's decent enough for office use. I'm going to mount one outside under the patio cover just to see how well it does outside.
Pros:
low price, many features, looks nice
Got it to work OK after many hours of frustration
Cons:
Connecting via LAN did not work at all
Web utility (amcrestview.com) no longer works - many forum posts about the fact that the amcrest plugin will not work anymore, although if you download an old version of Firefox it might be possible to make it work.
App interface looks NOTHING like the printed instructions or YouTube videos, but if you keep at it for a few hours it can be made to work, BUT it is wonky; needed to unplug/plug the camera a few times to connect. Lag time for the wireless is annoying and because the app does not match the instructions I cannot figure out how to set up an ethernet connection.
Support is quick to respond, but does not seem to actually read the email, they just send links to YouTube videos that do not match the current app.
Overall Review: If you are a computer geek you might be able to set this up more easily then I could, but it is NOT Plug and Play by a long shot.
Pros: Install and setup were very easy. Configuration options are plentiful. Picture is very good, especially in HD. No issues at all.
Cons: None so far.
Pros:
Installation was very easy. Price seemed to good to be true, but the camera's (I bought three) have surprised me.
Don't need a separate NVR unit to store video/images. Each camera has a Micro Sd Card slot and they work perfectly.
Cons: Pan/Tilt Zoom is a little slow while using WiFi to operate, but for the price, it's easy to overlook, and it may not be the camera's fault. It could be my WiFi needing some tweaking.
Pros:
Built quality is surprisingly good. Well designed, looks great. Light sensitivity is good. Quiet when it pans. IR is great even in a very large room.
Setup is simple enough, a little equivocal, at points, for the non-technical people. All in all, a great device. It would also work great as a baby monitor, since it's quiet and you can still use it after you don't need it for the baby. Takes relatively little power.
Recovers correctly from a power failure (still to figure out what to do with the time stamp).
Cons:
Software is somehow limited. Had some trouble finding the IP first. Have trouble adding it to the Surveillance Pro, both inside the network segment and through P2P, since the setup is correct and the camera works in the app in both modes.
No indication of how to set it up with a non-broadcasting SSID (you would
I didn't find out, yet, why it shows different time stamps on the recordings, I assumed time was pulled off a time server... . Didn't have the time to go through all its software intricacies.
Audio is sampled at a very low rate, great for screams and such, but speech sounds garbled, and it has a kind of squelch.
It doesn't work with the Edge browser.
Overall Review: I already recommended it around to my friends.

Pros: In no particular order.
1. Compared to other security cameras I've owned this camera offers a plethora of settings you can tweak to meet the needs of your operating environment. Unfortunately the documentation provided with the camera is often lacking in detailed information needed to setup the camera correctly (see The Bad).
2. For my needs at least the picture and video quality are good. The night vision meets my needs. Normally though I'm not operating the cameras with infra-red turned on at night, but instead use its low light enhancement capabilities.
3. You can store your snapshots or videos on a local FTP server and so aren't required to pay for on-line data storage.
Cons: The So-So (Could Be Improved)
1. The camera can push snapshots and videos to a local FTP server while using a micro-SD card as a fallback location if it can't reach the FTP server for whatever reason. If it was easy to do a mass copy of snapshots and videos from the SD card to the FTP server this would probably be ok. Unfortunately I've found no way to do this, you have to either copy each file one at a time from the camera or move the SD card to a PC and copy the files from the card. My preferred solution (that other cameras I've owned have implemented at least for video files) is to have the cameras store the files on the SD card and also provide an FTP server that can be used to transfer files from the SD card to a local PC on a scheduled basis. This method makes it easier to keep the files organized in one location instead of having most files on a local FTP server and the remainder on the SD card when the FTP server couldn't be reached. It also has the benefit of their being two copies of most of the latest files one on the SD card and one on the local FTP server.
2. It appears motion sensitivity can vary on a per camera basis. Initially I left the sensitivity settings for motion detection at the camera's defaults. I presumed cameras looking at the same general area from different directions would all trigger if any triggered, but I've found this is not always true. I'm having to play with the motion detection settings to get some cameras to start recording when others are fine with the defaults. Since you can tweak the settings, this probably won't cause me too much grief, but it is surprising.
The Bad (in no particular order)
1. As I noted this camera is very tweak-able, but the documentation for the camera is often lacking the information necessary to intelligently tweak its settings. I've had to do online research in many cases to understand what effect a particular setting will/should have. In theory you could experiment with each setting to see whether an adjustment improves the cameras performance, but that would take days if not weeks per camera especially if they have significant differences in their operating environments.
2. Technical support is lacking to say the least. While tech support is polite and generally responds promptly, they often do not respond to questions you ask and in some instances provide incomplete answers. Incomplete answers are sometimes understandable especially on complex questions/issues. However, ignoring simple questions that are asked several times over the course of a tech support request is just rude/unprofessional. If you don't know the answer or don't care about the issue, etc. just say so. While that would be disappointing in most cases it's a step up from being ignored.
3. Amcrest's firmware build process does not inspire confidence as they can't seem to keep the version number logically consistent. All eight of the cameras I set up came with firmware version “V2.520.AC00.18.R” dated June 29, 2017 according to the release notes. The release notes also stated that the previous version "V2.420.AC00.18.R” was dated May 21, 2017. The fun part came when Amcrest released a new version of firmware this on August 3, 2019. For whatever reason Amcrest re-used version number "V2.420.AC00.18.R". So now there are two releases of this firmware version, the first dated May 21, 2017 and the second dated August 3, 2019.
Overall Review: Over the last year or so I've setup five of these cameras for myself and three for a friend. Overall (for the price) the camera is decent and I'd probably buy it again, but it would really help if they improved the documentation and tech support.
