Simply wow! At this price point to have these professional features is truly amazing!
Are you kidding me! What is not to like about this $90 wifi/lan internet camera! It blows the competition away! The image quality is excellent at 1080p. The advanced features that this camera is capable of is astonishing! I was literally setup and viewing the camera via wifi within minutes using their app on my Samsung S6. Advanced PROs (using a PC): You can setup day and night modes where the camera can alter its image settings based on your settings and time of day. I saw one question answered here that this camera cannot trigger on sound. It CAN! Four individual layers of motion trigger zones with individual sensitivity and threshold trigger settings and custom masking! Email alerts sent when triggered with an attached 1080p snapshot image. Professional playback options where only triggered motion events are stored and can be played back. The I/R night mode is excellent! (but not through glass) Send triggered video to their cloud, installed micro SD card (sold separately), FTP, or NAS. You don't have to port forward your router if you use their free website amcrestview.com You can view live and playback video from any internet connected device! CONs: The free app is simplistic and somewhat weak but works fine. Setting up the advanced features requires a PC and may require some technical savvy. Their free website for viewing the camera (amcrestview.com) REQUIRES plugins to be installed. Because of the plugin requirement it does not support Windows 10 Edge browser. You may have to check your pop-up blocker settings because it may require pop-ups to be accepted. Conclusion: Works well with Firefox and older versions of IE after the plugins are installed and pop-ups allowed. No Windows 10 Edge support. Professional quality video options for $90! Now, I'm off to order three more! [UPDATED 12/29/2015] I'm loving these cameras! They are awesome! The Android phone app is fine. You can view multiple cameras at the same time and login to view time is very quick! Their free website for viewing the camera (amcrestview.com) only allows viewing of one camera at a time even though there are buttons at the bottom to go split screen. amcrestview.com split screen doesn't work for these cameras. You would have to login to each camera separately. They do however provide a FREE download of their professional grade software called Amcrest Surveillance Pro. This allows you to view multiple cameras at the same time in split screens. You have to use this software on your local network however but it's powerful! I have attached an image below showing Amcrest Surveillance Pro. The top left image is on normal mode inside at night (not using night mode). The top right image is pointed outside at night. Night mode is turned off because I'm shooting through a glass window. Night mode through a glass window will produce LED reflections. Notice how clear the image is though using just natural light at night! The bottom left image is in my garage. This IS using night mode. My garage in the image is completely dark with no lighting whatsoever. Notice that you can see the entire 3-car garage on night mode! Awesome! You cannot IMHO find a better camera at this price point with these professional qualities! I am extremely impressed! Buy it! [UPDATED 01/21/2016] I purchased another one. With the camera in hand, powered on, not wired to my network, and my smartphone next to me it took only 4 minutes to configure it on my Wi-Fi network! Just follow the simple instructions using the app install. Once configured it was then accessible from any internet connected device!
