I have 4 of these cameras at work, they work flawlessly. And they work online and offline (locally without internet access) connected to my offline wireless router with the Amcrest app. I was blown away by its color night vision. At dusk and dawn it looks like it's 9am outside. Amcrest cameras are actually rebranded Dahua camera's at half the price

I've owned a Amcrest IP3M-943B 3MP WI-FI bullet camera for 10 months now and I live on the border of northern Wisconsin and the U.P. of Michigan. We get some pretty harsh winter's here and the camera has performed flawlessly.

Just note that the field of view (how many degrees wide the view is) is a function of both the focal length of the camera lens as well as the size of the image sensor. So when comparing different cameras with the lenses they ship with, you don't want to think that the view of 2 cameras with 2.8mm lenses is necessarily the same. Also, the low-light performance is a function of the camera sensor itself - larger pixels are more sensitive because they collect more photons. And also the ratio of the focal length to the diameter of the lens. These things interact - if you compare two camera sensors that are the same physical size, the one with larger pixels will be more sensitive, but have lower resolution because you can't fit as many pixels in the same area of the sensor. This is why more pixels isn't necessarily better. Everything else being equal (sensor size, optics), a higher resolution camera sensor will generally have worse low-light performance. Thanks for the video!

You do have to lower it a tad to pick up 25/30 but do keep in mind if you want to run that high of a FPS, be sure to go beefy on the CPU/GPU on BI. A very similar starlight night vision model that is 4K 30 FPS is this one. Works great. amzn.to/3i4rykr

Nice, the starlight performance on the driveway footage looks p good.

Maybe this Amcrest would be a good replacement.

I would request that you reshoot the backyard comparison, except donwhat you did out front... Shut off the IR LEDs... Bet the image is brighter than the Reolink then... I can't believe you waited til itnwas out front to do that. That wasn't fair. I suspect the Amcrest will actually look better than the Reolink then. That's a starlight camera sensor, so unless you are in actual indoor pitch black the IR LEDs shouldn't be on in most cases. Possibly when it's cloudy. Would love to see. Already ordered an Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW-28MM. Going with Shinobi for recording and motion detection and alerts. Seems to be the best suited for the camera. Thanks for your comparison. Please redo the backyard comparison, except with the LEDs turned off on the Amcrest. Bet it surprises you.

I think they want to make more money off of you! 😎 Of course they are going to say that so they can sell you everything and support from end to end. However with that said you will actually find Blue Iris listed on their features and even support documents on how to use their cameras with it. I actually recommend Amcrest over others due to the flexibility of all the features and codec compatibility with many apps such as Blue Iris, Frigate, etc.

Love your informative videos, have been watching for weeks and getting ready to buy (probably) a complete NVR kit. I know you have a video where you review that horrible PTZ Zosi camera, but what is your personal opinion about an (on paper) equivalent 5MP POE turret NVR system from Zosi (~240) vs an Amcrest one with the same specs (~430)? Instinct is Zosi's quality/longevity must be lower to account for the price difference, but there aren't many high quality video reviews like yours for their cameras/NVRs. Do you have any opinions about whether the ~200 price difference is worth it, or not?

Finally flashed the camera with it. Went great, I did do a factory default and noticed it went to static IP like most Dahua seem to do. Easy to reset it back to DHCP though. Thanks for the tip!

Why do POE cameras still require a power plug? What's the point of running LAN cable and still need to run a power cable to each camera? Why not just use RG6 instead?

They don't. It's an option for folks that aren't doing POE. Maybe they are using a WiFi backhaul across property or something. I haven't seen any IP cameras use RG6.

Hi there, I got one of this, configure it and added it to HA the same way you did, but I can't get the camera to show me the image on the UI, I follow all the steps and nothing. Now on the browser nothing work, no view live nor when you click on it, on the HA app in android, the view live doesn't work but when I click on it, it does open de camera live view. Any help will be appreciated! This is my current configuration: gist.github.com/cheloautomation/c2dc00b0af02fac54fd941721cfebac9

Did you ever change the firmware to the Dahua? Remember it adds a few extra things that Amcrest took out. I have included a link to the firmware I got to work. files.dahua.support/Firmware/Kamery%20-IP-%20sta%C5%82opozycyjne/LITE265-S2/DH_IPC-HX25%288%29XX-Molec_MultiLang_PN_V2.800.0000000.15.R.200313.bin

i didn't yet as I heard it doesn't come back as DHCP just yet and I didn't see a firmware to go back to Amcrest yet. I might need it for comparison but tempted to do it and compare too.

@@digiblurDIY When I flashed the 2 I have it stayed DHCP so I believe it keeps the settings from the previous amcrest firmware.

How do you flash the firmware?...I just bought this camera (still in transit). I have a Dahua nvr and I am planing on connecting this camera directly to it (no poe injector) Can I still flash the firmware?, thanks in advance.

What prevents someone from just unpopping the camera and walking off with it? Why are the mounts so flimsy? Feels like companies are making them easy to steal to sell more cameras
