Amcrest UltraHD 8MP Outdoor Security Turret POE IP Camera Review

I recently had the opportunity to review the Amcrest UltraHD 8MP Outdoor Security Turret POE IP Camera. I was impressed with this camera s features and performance and am glad I chose it as my go to security solution. This camera is great for both indoor and outdoor use, making it a great choice for any home or business looking to protect their property.

First, let s talk about the AI features this camera has. It comes with 4K AI Turret PoE technology which includes human/vehicle detection, event filtering, and Tripwire/Intrusion detection for perimeter protection. Additionally, it has Face Detection available independently from the camera itself, but facial recognition can only be used with an Amcrest AI NVR. This camera also offers 4K 30fps when motion detection is disabled as well as a super wide 108 viewing angle.

The Amcrest View app allows you to receive motion alert notifications and review footage from your smartphone. You can also playback and record professionally on a PC using the Amcrest Surveillance Pro or Blue Iris Professional software. The camera works with Amcrest Cloud remote video storage, MicroSD card up to 256GB , Amcrest NVRs, QNAP NAS, FTP, Pale Moon and Sea Monkey Browsers, IE, Safari, Firefox 49.0 and Chrome with Amcrest Web View Extension. A PoE Injector or Switch is required however not included .

This security system is built to last in any weather condition and features a heavy duty metal weatherproof IP67 housing as well as built in IR LED and a Starlight 1/2.8 8MP progressive image sensor for unsurpassed low light capability and night vision up to 98.4 feet. It also uses Dual H.265/H.264 compression which allows for maximum encryption with the latest technology as well as backwards compatibility with legacy platforms.

Finally, if you opt in for the optional Amcrest Cloud remote video storage subscription service you can automatically store your videos off site in a third party location hosted by AWS so that if something happens to your local PC/NVR/MicroSD/NAS your footage will still be safely stored in a secure off site location accessible through a web based Flash interface or via the AmcrestCloud smartphone app.

In conclusion, I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a reliable security solution for their home or business property. It s easy to set up, extremely secure due to its advanced encryption technology, offers great picture quality even in low light conditions, and provides motion alerts when it detects activity on your property what more could you ask for? The Amcrest UltraHD 8MP Outdoor Security Turret POE IP Camera is definitely worth investing in!
