The Amcrest UltraHD 4K (8MP) Outdoor Bullet POE IP Camera, 3840x2160, 131ft NightVision, 2.8mm Lens, IP67 Weatherproof, MicroSD Recording, White (IP8M-2496EW-28MM) is my 11th Amcrest camera I've purchased over the last 3 years (all are still in service). I added the IP8M-2496EW-28MM to my barn group to better monitor our miniature therapy horses in their turnout. This is a POE camera that I have connected to a WI-FI network that's P2P linked from the barn to my home WI-FI mesh. I use a TP-Link PoE injector and a TP-Link access point in the barn. The P2P from the barn to the house is with Ubiquiti Nanostation M2's. I installed the Orbi mesh and everything else to have a separate high performance network to handle the video load to my Amcrest NVR and I've been really happy with it so far.Reviewed in the United States on 10 August 2019
Installation: As with all the other Amcrest cameras, the actual setup of the camera was the easiest part, once the twisted pair wiring was run. This particular model gives a little more room to mount the camera with the mounting screws without mangling the bullet body, which has been a rub for me on previous versions, so that's a plus. I also give Amcrest a thumbs up for making the connection kit opening large enough to fit the cat5/6 tip through. It's the small things that make a difference. Overall setup time once the twisted pair was in place was about 5 minutes.
For my network I always set the camera configuration to use static IP addresses otherwise it's chaos, and I ensure the camera is set to reboot once a week whether it needs it or not.
Edit: this was my error. Got it working.
I did notice that something changed in the last couple of months that won't run the Amcrest web view plugin in Chrome or Edge but I haven't taken the time to figure it out as I always use the mobile app to view my cameras.
Viewing Angle: One of the feature I rely on is a wide viewing angle. This camera has a 112 degree view and not much distortion in this view. Sometimes with wide angle lenses you can get a good bit of a fish-eye effect, but there's very little of this with this camera. I'm able to see nearly all of the horse paddock with one camera, and I see the little bit that's not covered with this camera with an older camera in a different location.
Video Quality: I'm pretty impressed with the quality of the video on this unit, both daylight and night vision. There's no chop even when zoomed in. Even the nigh vision is pretty crisp with the horses within 20-30 feet of the camera. In the photo i've uploaded you can even see the fencing at the far end of their paddock which is about 70 feet from the camera.
Build Quality/Reliability: I've only had the camera installed 24 hours, but it's made of rugged materials (steel/aluminum I suppose), and is IP67 certified for weather resistance. I have several Amcrest cameras installed that are directly exposed to the harsh northern Illinois climate, and as long as you protect the power/network connectors, the cameras are durable.
So far I like this one. The video quality is great, super easy setup, and a nice, wide viewing angle. Keep up the great work Amcrest.
