    The best 1080p dome-style camera I've used.
    5 Stars
    The best 1080p dome-style camera I've used.
    I've gone through more of these cameras than I like to admit. I'd been using a Foscam FI9821P for a while, and not been happy with it. Focus is poor, and the color at night under house lighting is a dingy orange (see picture!). I'd already exchanged one, but the replacement was no better, so I just gave up.Given the above, the chance to review the Amcrest ProHD couldn't have come at a better time. However, the setup procedure wasn't quite as smooth as I'd have liked it to be. If it had been just a LITTLE clearer, I'd have been happier. But let's start at the beginning..First, the box it comes in is excellent. Well-packaged, feels high-end, and overall is a positive unboxing experience. Unlike some other dome-camera systems, the wifi antenna is built in. There's no external antenna to connect, and in my experience checking signals in the desktop browser app, it hasn't needed it.I plugged the power cord in to the camera/wall, and then the included ethernet cable from the camera to my Apple Airport Time Capsule ac model.I'm an iPhone user, and setting up with my iPhone 6s Plus in iOS 9 was a little more confusing than I'd like. The setup card included in the box directed me to download the Amcrest Viewer (the free one is all you need if you're not needing push notifications etc). No issue, - downloaded in seconds.. Adding the camera was very simple by scanning the QR code at the bottom of the camera itself. At this point, it asked me to input my WiFi SSID and password to connect to the network. But... but... I don't want to use WiFi, because I connected the camera via an ethernet cable!Turns out, you don't need to worry. I entered in a network SSID the camera couldn't see (my 5Ghz network, for example, or you could use an entirely made-up network. Either way, the camera is not 5Ghz compatible). Type in a fake password, and hit connect. Voila, it will say "Done," but really it's just using wired ethernet at this time because it didn't connect to WiFi. It's a bit odd you can't just pick wired and skip WiFi setup, but there you go.., you're done!For reference, more fine-tuning of things (like adding day/date stamps to your video or adjusting hue/contrast/night vision) can be done in the desktop browser, so log in to the camera and make changes there. This is pretty simple, following the setup card instructions. You can also completely disable the WiFi chip from the browser app on your computer, which I did. No need to even have it on if you're using a wired connection. This worked on my iMac running El Capitan, in the Safari browser, - no issues.At this point, on my iPhone and via the desktop browser, - I was very impressed with the image quality. It absolutely DESTROYS the Foscam FI9821P (see comparison picture). For one, the orange cast to the image under regular house lights is now gone. Second, the image is much wider, fitting more of the room into the image. Unfortunately, there is some barrel distortion on the edges, but this is to be expected at such a wide angle. The center of the image looks great, with very little distortion. To "solve" this, you can always zoom in just a hair in the app. Yes, it's digitally zoomed, but it makes very little image-quality difference, and does remove the barrel distortion on the edges.Moving the camera left/right/up/down is also very simple, and VERY smooth in the iPhone app, over both WiFi and LTE.One unfortunate thing, though, is that there's no native iPhone 6/6s support (including Plus models). I'm hoping Amcrest updates their app to properly support these devices. The app works fine in iOS 9 on those iPhones, but you can tell it's not optimized for their resolutions. The app is definitely a bit of a letdown, but it's not too far off the mark. It does the job, though, and is free.I'm very impressed with the camera quality. It's the best I've used. The colors, especially under house lighting at night, are surprisingly accurate. The room the camera is located in actually looks like this in real life in comparison to the video feed. Automatic switching to night vision works great, and the resultant image is also excellent. While out this evening, I was able to do a test run over LTE, enabling the speaker/microphone in the Amcrest Viewer app and having a conversation with my wife. It worked just great.Overall, this is a superb camera. With a few tweaks, the app could be great, which is my only minor complaint.4.75 out of 5. A gold-standard dome camera.*Sample received for objective review*

    Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2015
    Color: BlackVerified Purchase
    These cameras are absolutely phenomenal. Crystal clear video and audio with an easy setup, make this the best wifi camera out there for the price. I bought one of these for initial testing and within a week, I bought seven more. They will be used in a business setting for my review.

    GOOD:

    Setup - Initial setup was a breeze. All I had to do was scan the QR code on the bottom of the camera and it automatically populated all the information needed. Then you have to select which network to connect to as well as the wifi password and you are all set. Now anytime I wish to see what's going on at my workplace it takes 2 seconds to open the app and view the live feed.

    Use - Like I've stated before it takes 2 seconds to open the app and view the live feed. After you have configured your device(s), you can then add them into the main page in any order you want. By default, it is set to show four cameras at once. Each camera is shown as a box on the main screen and all you have to do is tap one of the boxes and add the camera of your choice. You can then double tap on a camera box to zoom in (works better if you rotate your smartphone horizontally). Once zoomed in you can access the pan/tilt/zoom features, audio, create favorites, take a snapshot, take a video and some others that I haven't toyed with yet. The app itself is very responsive especially with the pan/tilt/zoom being almost instant. You swipe in the direction you wish to move the camera and bam its there. On a lot of other cameras I have tried the pan/tilt/zoom was very sluggish and unresponsive. By clicking the audio button in the zoomed in state you can get live audio to your phone. Same goes with the video. Overall a well designed and thought out app.

    Video - The video on this thing is STELLAR. Very clear and crisp I can pick up the humidity reading on a thermometer from 15 ft away. This also comes with night vision, and I've gotta say, I have not seen a better night vision camera for this kind of price. It has a sensor that automatically switches on the IR LEDS given the appropriate lighting in the room. There is a very small delay in the video feed but it is significantly less than what I have seen in other cameras.

    Audio/Microphone - Works quite well. Once the microphone button is pressed on the app you can send audio through your phone to the camera. Same goes for receiving audio.

    Web Access - Pretty straightforward just type the ip address of the camera into your web browser. Supported browsers: IE Explorer, Safari, and Mozilla Firefox. The login page will popup so enter user and pass. You will also be asked to install Amcrest's plugin. From there, you can view live feed, pan/tilt/zoom, use playback (if you have a storage option) and change settings. The video on the web is outstanding compared to the app due to the increased screen size so definitely check it out. Another cool feature is the ability to get an email everytime the camera senses motion. You can set what time of the day you want this to happen as well.

    Cloud - I have not tried the amcrest cloud, but I did receive a free year of Amazon Cloud with this purchase as a bonus. Not sure at this point if Amazon Cloud can be used with this camera.

    Storage - Options include: Sd card, FTP, NAS and Amcrest Cloud. I do not know what the max storage of this camera is for a sd card, but sd cards these days can be up to 256GB.

    BAD:

    Audio/Microphone: I noticed when both audio and mic are on, there is a considerable amount of feedback. This is because the mic and speaker are too close together. There may be a workaround in the settings, but I have not found that yet.

    Web Access: Pan/tilt/zoom is not located in the same page as the live feed page. Therefore once you click on PTZ you lose all the other options such as audio/mic and others. Nothing major just something I thought to point out.

    All in all if you are looking for a security system to buy, look no further. These cameras will provide you with everything you are looking for and then some. There are countless features here to be used in any situation. You have a greater peace of mind with these around. If anyone tries to rob my business I know Amcrest has my back.

    UPDATE 12/1/15 If you head over to amcrest.com/firmware there is an update which puts PTZ on the same screen as the live view.

    UPDATE 6/11/16 Everything is still going very strong... I have installed 18 of these cameras now and use them in conjunction with Blue Iris. If anyone has questions about setup just ask.

    I received my Amcrest ProHD 1080P WiFi Wireless IP Security Camera on October 20th, and set it up for the 1st time on October 22nd. Been using the Foscam FI8910W since February 2014 and that has not missed a beat. Works everyday like a true soldier.

    But needed an upgrade as the Foscam FI8910W was 1st released in November 2011 (way back when) so it's not that user friendly unless you are a mid level techy and I wanted more recent features.

    So when Foscam sent me an email on the new Amcrest ProHD 1080P WiFi Wireless IP Security Camera, I jumped on it.

    I bought it because it had all the festures of the FI8910W but more friendlier (the biggest difference, setting up Port Forwarding so you can stream your camera live anywhere in the world from your Amcrest App).

    So here goes:

    Pros:

    - it truly is a 30 second set up (including port forwarding). The App does everything for you. Currently I am at work and I can tap into my Amcrest App and view my Live feed.

    - HD Quality is great

    - The camera is very responsive when you change the Pan & Tilt from your phone app...even if you are miles away

    - It looks great. Does not stand out like the Foscam FI8910W

    Cons

    - Wi-Fi Connectivity (as someone else mentioned): I am still testing this one but the range doesn't seem to be that wide. I moved the camera from being 5 ft away from the router to 20 ft away inside my TV stand on the bottom shelf and it had problems. Would not connect. Which is very disappointing because that is the spot my Foscam FI8910W has been in for the past year and a half. But the FI8910W does come with an antenna on the back which will help with range. The Amcrest does not have an antenna.

    - Going Deep in the Set Up: Ok, it is 30 seconds to set up....if you stick to the basics (install app, scan QR code, and you have Live Feed with Port Forwarding). However, if you want to go deeper and set up email forward on motion alerts, etc, that does take sometime and you will probably have to email Armcrest for support as this will involve using their web interface which you can access by using the camera's IP address in your browser. The instructions on using the web interface so far are non existent, but again, i've only opened the box last night so maybe the instructions are somewhere on their website. Will investigate this further.

    UPDATE: 03/11/2015

    After having the Amcrest ProHD Camera for roughly 2 weeks now, it is truly an amazing camera with surprising features for a DIY system

    Pros:

    - The online User Interface is very extensive. Unfortunately there is no instruction manual on how to navigate the Amcrest web browser UI, but once you have figured it out, you will be quickly impressed.

    - Motion Detection settings are very detailed. Within the cameras field of vision, you can set up detection zones for the camera to focus on and focus on only. It does this by dividing the field of view into little squares and you can activate/de-activate each square

    - Motion Detection Sensitivity & Motion Graph: Saw a review where a customer complained the camera was too sensitive. This is not the case in my situation. You can get very detailed again with the settings here. They are two settings: Sensitivity and Threshold. 1st, you can set how sensitive you want the camera to be for motion, which is then transposed onto a motion graph shown on the web browser UI, and then you can set the threshold. Continuous motion caused the graph to rise and once the graph as risen above your set threshold value on the vertical axis, the alarm is triggered (whether this alarm is email or audio if you have a siren hooked up to it)

    Ethernet Connection: Having some issue with WiFi connectivity, so set mines up via Ethernet. Works absolutely brilliant using the Amcrest Android App when connected by Ethernet....and this is regardless of whether you are at home and miles away. I can open my app anytime, anywhere and be guaranteed it will log into the camera.

    Remote Pan, Tilt & Zoom: Again, this review is based on connecting the camera via Ethernet. The remote pan, zoom & tilt from the app is very response. If you are miles away and want to pan,zoom or tilt the camera via the android app, there is little to no delay.

    Cons:

    Still, WiFi range is my only issue. I took the camera by a friend and it did not even pick up her router that was 5 ft away (that was odd)....but she is using the ISP basic router. As with any WiFi product, your router and all other wifi devices in your home will play a big role in each device performance

    Bottom Line:

    Brilliant Camera, but gets 4 stars from me as the WiFi range is not impressive, in my set up. Remember this can is dependent on your router & number of wifi devices in your home.

    UPDATE: 16/11/2015

    Purchased a 2nd one of these cameras lately. Showed a friend who was so in love with it that she took my original one and so I purchased this replacement.

    With this one, the Wi Fi on it works like a dream. It's only been two days, but I have not experienced any WiFi issues with it like I did with the 1st Amcrest. And I have tested it both while at home connected to the same network and when away from connected to the local cell phone network.

    Ethernet Connection is still faster....but the wifi connection only has a very small delay....less than 1 second, which is pretty good. The Ethernet connection is instant....even if away from home.

    What I must say though is I need to go back and check the Firmware version on the 1st Amcrest. This time for sure I updated the firmware from the .5.R which the camera came with, to the 2.420.AC00.8.R which is available for download at http://amcrest.com/firmware .

    So maybe if the Firmware on the previous is out of date, perhaps that maybe what caused the poor WiFi performance issues. So, I am changing my review from a 4 star to a 5 star because thus far, with the 2.420.AC00.8.R Firmware, the WiFi performance on this 2nd Amcrest it outstanding.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Hardware Fehler?

    Ich möchte darauf hinweisen, das die Cam womöglich einen Fehler hat.
    Sowohl in der Amcrest App, als auch in einer anderen TinyCam Monitor hat meine Cam ein Problem
    mit der Sound Detection. Nachdem der Sound erkannt worden und zurückgegeben ist, beginnt eine "Cosmic Sound"
    Übertragung - lauter Piepser und Ansammlung von Hoch- und Niedertönen. Man hört förmlich den unerträglichen Datenverkehr.

    Supportanfragen sind gestellt. Ich warte auf die Rückmeldung des Herstellers und Verkäufers.

    Amcrest antwortet generell nicht sehr schnell auf Supportanfragen - also ist Geduld, oder Selbsthilfe gefragt.

    Nach der Klärung des Falls kommt hier mehr Info.

    -- Update 10.04.2019 --
    Nach dem Anschluss der Cam an ihrem Bestimmungsort funktioniert es Problemlos.
    (Ich habe durch den Standortwechsel einen Neustart [Reboot] der Cam durchgeführt)
    "Cosmic Sound" ist nun weg. Support von Amcrest (erst nach 2-3 Tagen) hat das gleiche vorgeschlagen.
    Bewertung wurde nun erhöht.
    1 Stern Abzug, weil die Konfiguration ohne Chrom nicht so einfach ist.

    He pedido varias de estas camaras sin problemas, es el caso que esta llego con los sellos del fabricante rotos, instructivos por fuera y en la parte inferior de la camara que deberia traer la calca del numero de serie, llego sin esta y con pegamento como si se la hubieran arrancado. Tengo que preparar devolucion ya que no acepta cambios y si quiero ordenar la misma camara ya esta a un mayor precio.

    I'm using the camera to moniter a co2 laser & 3d printer in a seperate room via ethernet
    my area is a PAIN for Wireless.
    wanted a camera that had ethernet & could be controled by ethernet (I dont live on my phone & is less secure than home network)
    was worried when I read the manual and everything was mobile wireless.
    But a SOLID system underneath :)
    Took ages to get (due to couriers & xmas) but you bloody ripper :D

    default login:admin/admin
    default dhcp address (can set to static once logged in)
    Works in firefox (my prefered browser)
    can inverse & mirror (low declination but high inclination so mounted upside down on a wardrobe, comes with a mount that works any which way)

    only thing found not working: is system>check version (I havent updated firmware yet)
    only surgested add: add to ptz fuction option to have own label besides numbers & also a drop down list for them
