Amcrest 5MP UltraHD Outdoor Security IP Turret PoE Camera with Mic/Audio, 5-Megapixel, 98ft NightVision, 2.8mm Lens, IP67 Weatherproof, MicroSD Recording (256GB), White (IP5M-T1179EW-28MM)

I have a few amcrest cameras now, I wanted another for the side garden where the kids play and we can't see them from inside. The quality is excellent, night vision is good at a decent range, it does H264 as well as H265 so it works perfectly with Frigate, also support RTMP and ONVIF for those that might need those features. It has a load of extra features too for detection etc, FTP upload and the usual privacy masks etc, I don't use any of those features as I have it connected to frigate so I've turned them off. Note, the posting said it was the 28MM model but what I actually received is the AI-V3 model. I think they're the same hardware, or at least appear to be, but the AI-V3 is newer. Powered by PoE or also has a barrel jack, no power supply included. A feature I found in the firmware on this model that some of my older models didn't ship with, but later got on updates is WDR (wide dynamic range), which makes it even better for outdoor areas where there is a lot of sunlight that might cause parts of the image to be blown out and top bright. Paid about £65 for this which is half the price of other models I've bought from amcreat, such as the 8MP bullet camera which is a bargain price for the quality. The sphere part (eyeball) is heavy and made from metal, has a screw closed door with a gasket for water proofing, on it for an microSD which I don't use, the housing (eye socket) is plastic but nice quality with good mounting hardware. Web UI is the typical amcrest one which is perfectly functional but I find very little need to use beyond initial setup since I use a "NVR" (Frigate) to connect to the video atreams.

Product ok, but beware of seller. They cance lorder and said it is customer request for refunf.

This is a great camera at a reasonable price. Excellent picture, good night vision, great support. Love the product. I use it with Blue Iris 6 and Home Assistant. Most companies say they stand behind their products. Very few actually do it, know how to do it or are passionate about it. Steve A. is someone who knows the product, cares about the customer experience and continuously searches for how to say "yes" and how to have a great outcome. What a difference.

Arrived very fast. Great little camera. Works perfect. Easy to install

The camera is easy to install. The image quality is good. We bought several units for our store. After a year of use, it works flawlessly.
