## Description

desertcart.com : Amcrest ProHD 1080P WiFi 2MP (1920TVL) Indoor Pan/Tilt Security Wireless IP Camera IP2M-841B (Black) : Electronics

Review: Brilliant & Smart Looking Little Camera - 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.
Review: Great camera quality, great price and very easy to setup and use. The real deal. - I spent several weeks reading reviews and trying to decide which IP camera to buy for our home. I have always believed you get what you pay for so I was leaning toward the more known names in the IP camera world but the prices they are asking for their units where almost double the cost of the Amcrest camera. It seems this day and age you can't assume that the name brands are better. I have purchased several items lately based on the fact that they were name brand products and would be much better than the lower priced versions. I have been very disappointed by doing that. Seems the big companies are cost cutting and trying to sale products that are lower quality for the same price as usual and relying on their name to keep their sales. So the only thing to do now is to buy from sites like desertcart that provide feedback from verified buyers. That is even getting muddy now that some of the sellers are giving free products to buyers in return for their reviews. Thankfully this camera had a lot of buyers leave reviews and some with pictures so after reading every one of them I gave it a chance. I am very happy with this product. It was very well priced and has worked flawlessly since I bought it several months ago. I use the camera mainly to spy on my dogs while I'm away and to watch our home entryways. The picture quality is amazing and I don't experience much lag during movement unless I am in a location that has marginal cellular signal or WiFi speed. I mainly use my iPhone and the Amcrest app for viewing and it works great plus was easy to set up. I also use the Amcrest view webpage on my work desktop from time to time and it works just as well if not better due to the viewing being on a bigger screen. Initial setup thru my wireless router was simple as were the app and web page installations and setup. It has 1080P for high resolution streaming but also has the capability to dumb down to lower settings to work with VGA or networks with low bandwidth. The 2 way audio works great thru the built in speaker and mic but it also has connections for adding external speakers and mic. And one of the best features I think is that it has a SD card slot for recording. The SD cards that are out now can hold a lot of video and the setup is easy. I have my unit recording only the times we are away from home and set to record over the oldest file when it is full. By the time you get to that point if you haven't needed those old files you never will. The bottom line is, I did not get this by participating in free product testing, I payed for this with my hard earned money. You won't get a quality camera like this for any lower pricing, in fact I really believe that this camera is as good if not better than the more known brands at half the price. If you are considering this camera and will be using it indoors, just buy it. you won't be disappointed. I believe you can use up to 4 of these cameras on your home network and view them together thru the free app and PC software without the need for a DVR. That really saves on the cost of your home or small business system. I am planning to buy an additional camera this year but will more than likely get three since the DVR is not needed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the size of SD card that supports?**
A: Here is a quote from Amcrest Tech Support:The max capacity of the mini SD card that the ProHD 1080P can take will be set at 64GB. That will be good for up to two weeks of continuous 24hr recording. If you set it to just motion, it will record at least 1 Month of just motion.You can find these Mini SD cards at Best Buy, Walmart, or any electronic store."

**Q: can i have multiple cameras in m house**
A: If you want multiple cameras, I suggest a surveillance software such as Blue Iris, which is the best bang for the buck. It's a great program which you purchase once (about $50) and can use with up to 26 cameras. I currently have 7 using this program with minimal problems. IMO, I would NEVER use a cloud service for anything.

**Q: I'm interested in storing local recording on a memory card and need about 24 hours of continuous storage that I could review for security (32G card?).**
A: To get 24 hours (or more) on the 32GB card, you will need to change the camera's video encoding settings.  By default, the camera is configured to encode the video at 4096Kb/s CBR, which should give you about 17 hours of recording time on a 32GB card.  CBR stands for Constant Bit Rate, which means that the camera will use all of the specified bitrate regardless of the video complexity/activity.  I recommend switching the mode to VBR (Variable Bit Rate) with a quality of 6 (the highest setting).  Since the video complexity will probably be low half of the time, this alone may be enough to get you 24 hours.  If not, lower the bitrate setting to 2048.  This should get you at least 34 hours.  You can lower this as much as you want.  If the video quality gets too rough at very low settings, lower the resolution or the framerate.  With a low bitrate setting and VBR, you could get days of footage on a 32GB card.While this camera has an above average playback interface that's great for reviewing footage, another way to fit more monitoring time on the card is to only record motion detection footage instead of continuous recording.  This works especially well in areas that see occasional traffic as opposed to continuous traffic.  You could end up with months of footage on a 32GB card depending on how active the monitored area is.Yet another possibility is to use a 64GB card.  I have successfully used 64GB cards in other cameras that only supported 32GB.  The camera is not the limitation; Windows is.  Windows is unable to format a 64GB card to FAT32, the format required by the camera.  If you buy a 64GB card, you will need to use special software to format it in FAT32, and then it should work in the camera.Here's a link to the calculator tool I used to calculate the above numbers: http://www.calctool.org/CALC/prof/computing/transfer_timeAmount of data = Card size (32GB)Transfer rate = Camera video bitrate (camera default is 4096 Kb/s; the lowercase "b" in "Kb" is important).Transfer time = (select hours) the amount of recording time you should get using that size card, and that bitrate at CBR.  VBR should increase your total recording time above this number unless the area being monitored has lots of activity 24-hours a day.

**Q: Does the 4 hours free cloud recording means 4 continuous recording or can be a total of many small clips of event recording that adds to 4 hours?**
A: I had the same question. I pulled the trigger and can tell you my findings... the ANSWER::: 4 hour cloud recording is 4 hours of continuous as well as clips. Anything past 4 hours whether full recording or small clips of events are inaccessible/deleted.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant & Smart Looking Little Camera

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glad I picked this camera
*by R***E on December 5, 2015*

Amcrest Pro/HD 1080P Pan/Tilt Wireless Camera, Model IP2M-841B In spite of my complaints here, I am happy I purchased the Amcrest Pro HD Video Camera and will purchase additional cameras from Amcrest if I need to remotely view other areas of my home. I bought the camera to monitor my 95-year-old mother so I know when she wanders out of her room into our living room and to make sure she wanders back! For my purposes, the camera is perfect. I have used this camera for about a month. I am a former English teacher, raised with erasable bond paper and a portable typewriter and am not tech savvy, but I can follow instructions if they are clear. (More on that below.) PROS: When motion is detected, an Amcrest Cloud icon appears on my Android smartphone. At the same time, I receive an email notification that motion has been detected. I open the Amcrest Cloud app, click the REFRESH arrow, click RECORDINGS, and select the video I want to see from the list of stored videos. (The most recent appears on top of the list and includes the date and time of recording). The camera comes with 4 free hours of cloud storage via Amcrest Cloud. It is enough storage time for my needs since I view and then delete, usually right after viewing. The video clarity even on the substream setting is good with true-to-life color. The motion detector picks up not only movement in the room but also caught my husband blowing leaves on the patio outside (about 20 feet from the camera which sits unobtrusively on a bookcase in the corner across the room). It sent me a motion alert when my mother took a tissue out of her pocket. My husband is impressed at the range of rotation of the camera and how quietly it moves. When I want to see a live view, I use the Amcrest View Lite App, and it works well. CONS: INSTALLATION took me a long time (see below): all of one Saturday and part of another afternoon. To install the camera on our WiFi network with Smartphone access, I followed the Amcrest Quick Start Guide, but the process was neither quick nor smooth. The process included IP Config software installation and setup (using DVD provided with purchase), Desktop Access and P2P Setup, and installation and setup of Amcrest View Lite App and Amcrest Cloud App. Note: Directions are serious that you must use Internet Explorer or Safari for installation. 1. Instructions are woefully insufficient if you have a dual band router. We have a dual band router and the instructions NOWHERE say the camera can only connect to a 2.4Ghz band. Step 1 of the Quick Start Guide App Setup should be ESSENTIAL! Before beginning the setup process, go to your Smartphone. Select SETTINGS and WIFI and then select your 2.4 Ghz network. Locate your 5Ghz network and select FORGET. I learned the hard way this action is essential even after following the Quick Start Guide Desktop Access directions and then the P2P Setup directions. My smartphone could not detect the camera until I got our 5 Ghz network out of the way. Amcrest, please include this information in your next printing of the Quick Start Guide. 2. Instructions are non-existent for accessing the camera after the IP address changes after setting up WiFi after completing the Desktop Access. Quick Start Guide Desktop Access was frustrating at Step 9 which blithely notes, Note that the IP address may have changed once connected to WiFi. Be sure to use the IP Config tool to access the camera using it’s [sic] updated IP address. Yes, the IP address does change here and NO, the camera will not work until you access the camera using the updated IP address. Amcrest, please include step-by-step instructions on how to use the IP Config tool here. WHERE AND HOW does one access the camera using its (no apostrophe, please) updated IP address? I finally resorted to calling Amcrest Support because the online guide included no help for this action. I spoke with a guy with an Indian accent who sounded peeved when I could not select STATIC from a dropdown menu I could not find. He offered to remotely take control of my computer to do it, which I declined, and then he did stick with me until I realized the settings that needed to be changed were via a dropdown arrow beside the subheading ETHERNET which he never mentioned. I would love to include the steps and a screenshot, but I do not remember what they were. Amcrest, please include all the necessary steps related to the changing IP address in your next printing of the Quick Start Guide. PASSWORD protection on the camera is limited to six characters or less (though the online guide states eight). Please, Amcrest, fix this quickly so I can use a password with some complexity. PIXILATION of the video on the Amcrest Cloud playback occasionally occurs for a split second which may be a result of my using the substream setting. It picks back up and completes the motion, so does not affect the information I need to know my mom is safe. EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS do not come through in areas with poor cellphone coverage (NOT the fault of Amcrest). Amcrest Cloud App is essential if you want to receive motion notifications in all locations. No camera yet is without problems. I am grateful for this young company and this developing technology. It gives caregivers of people living at home with dementia tools to help watch their loved ones. I read a lot of reviews and almost bought the Samsung Smart Things hub, motion detectors, and camera. The Amcrest Pro/HD actually is doing everything I need.
