★★★★☆
Great camera, but image seems about the same as their 4MP cam. Cloud service doesn't support 4K.
I love Amcrest cameras for my Blue Iris setup. This is my 8th from them. I bought this one (4K / 8MP) to replace a 4MP cam, with the hopes of more picture detail and I liked the SD card option. I'd say the picture quality is not noticably better, but both are still very good overall, and WDR mode works great too. Night vision and low light seems improved though. The microSD card option is nice as a backup in case your Blue Iris / NVR goes down. I tried to use their cloud service as an off-site backup, but it doesn't support 4K resolution yet, so it gets changed to less. Their app and cloud service are functional but not great quality, so overall I decided not to use it, and am sticking with Blue Iris. Like all of their cameras, its http setup page works on most browsers, but live preview, clip playback, and motion zone setup, requires using Chrome and their plugin.
