Review: Homelab Must Have. - I recently bought two of these cameras to integrate into my homelab and provide my home with a bit of security. I cannot express enough how pleased I am with the quality of these cameras. They were easy to configure and setup with Frigate was painlessly easy. The audio quality is top notch, even though I couldn't get the default AAC audio codec to work and had to use G.711A instead. Installation of the cameras is a no brainer, you just losten the dome cover with 3 screws with the provided hex wrench, set your screws internally once you're happy with it's placement and then re-secure the cover. The camera can be rotated (manually) inside the dome 360 and has a solid vertical adjustment as well. I'm colorblind so I suppose I can't vouch much for the color "quality" but from what I can tell it's quite vibrant. And the AMCREST WebUI for the cameras gives you a lot of control over the image quality. The IR strength can be adjusted as well as Brightness/Contrast/Exposure/Gamma/Sharpness ect. You can adjust the audio gain within the webUI as well. Even at 25% gain I can hear conversations from those at the pumps across the street; so it's quite good though it's sensitive enough you'll want to adjust your output speakers volume; don't make the mistake I did and forget your 5.1 surround is set quite loud baha! I will most certainly be buying more of these for additional angles on the house as well as a couple for inside the house to monitor my kids and Lord forbid any unwelcome visitors.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a true POE camera? not like the others where it still requires a power adapter to power up.**
A: POE comes in 2 flavors; Active and passive.  This camera requires either a Switch delivering at least 12V per port (POE+ 802.3at) or an active POE injector.  THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH A PASSIVE INJECTOR.  If you don't have or want to purchase either, you can use a 12-Volt power adaptor (not supplied) to power the camera thru the power dongle.

**Q: What's the frame rate at 4K?**
A: Frame Rate at 4k is at 15fps, 2k and lower is 30fps

**Q: This cameras are WiFi or wireless**
A: Not WiFi or any kind of wireless. This is an Ethernet-connected camera.  It can also get its power over the Ethernet cable from a power injector or PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch, neither of which are included. Or you can use a separate power adapter (also not included.)

**Q: What is the operating temperature range of the camera?**
A: 30° C ~ +60° C (-22° F ~ +140° F) / Less than 95% RH

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good picture quality. Can be used standalone/no internet. CGI API works well.
*by D***J on 25 January 2019*

Picture quality is great, especially snapshots. Can be used standalone/no internet. CGI API works well. You can configure both video and still images be saved on the SD card, I have it configured to save motion events as videos, and stills once a minute to the SD card 24/7. The stills are NOT frame captures of the video stream but jpg's from the raw data that do not suffer from the video compression. I do not intend to use this with any of Amcrest's online services or phone apps. I have the camera connected on an isolated DMZ with NO internet access. All attempts to connect to the internet are blocked and I connect to the cameras locally from my laptop and home server. Yes, you can provision it via the embedded web server just fine from a PC locally. Most config can be done without needing to install their browser plugin, but you do need to use their plugin to do some items such as motion ranges, privacy masks, etc... By default on power up the camera attempts to create these connections, but the camera is just fine if they are blocked. I find it ironic that their cloud service connection attempt is over HTTPS, however their "security" connection attempt is over HTTP. TCP: config.amcrestcloud.com:443 TCP: amcrestview.com:12367 TCP: dh.amcrestsecurity.com:80 UDP: p2p.amcrestview.com:8800 UDP: google-public-dns-a.google.com:53 UDP: google-public-dns-b.google.com:53 Amcrest vs Dahua: Yes, it's quite clear that Amcrest just OEM's camera hardware and firmware from Dahua. The Amcrest IP8M-2493EW appears to be a Dahua HDBW4831E (not 100% sure on that exact model number). I have nothing wrong with this business model, however I don't see much value in Amcrest investing in re-skinning all the UIs and firmware. Not intending to use any of their cloud services the only plus I see is Amcrest looks to be more consumer focused than Dahua (both in sales and support). Some faults: Whenever you login via the web interface, the camera automatically syncs the time from your PC to the camera, even if you have NTP configured, it takes whatever time you have on your PC and uses it. This cannot be disabled. If the time on your PC is slightly off the camera will step the clock and also be incorrect until the next NTP update. SMTP with the 'other' server option seems completely broken, there are some threads on amcrest forums about this. Mail test fails immediately and it doesn't even attempt to do a DNS lookup let alone a TCP SYN to the SMTP server. Amcrest's "user docs" are horrible. It seems they hired some contractor to simply take Dahua's docs and "translate" them from english to english and replacing all the company logos, providing no useful material. You can download the Dahua's user manual to get a better experience. The back of the camera has the pigtail coming out almost near the side, nowhere near the center. Mounting this camera isn't ideal. I bought one of the mounts (PFA136) which will give you space to store all those cables. Some pros: syslog works, it'll log to my home server just fine. ntp works, etc... The CGI APIs work well. Do a web search for the AMCREST_CGI_SDK_API.pdf and read through it. This is identical (or almost identical) to the Dahua CGI API doc. Some useful items from the SDK. You can obtain real-time still images from /cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi which is quite useful and better quality than stills captured from the video stream. It took me a few hours to write a shell script with wget to list contents of the SD card, and then retreive all the videos and stills on there to my home server. Relativly low power consumption, my switch reports 4W when IR off and 6W when IR is on (on about 40ft cat6). Pigtail: Oh it's almost a dealbreaker. What a horrible pigtail. People who are buying a PoE camera expect just one connection, an RJ45. This things has 5 connections, and "waterproofing" is only provided for the ethernet connection. On the inside of the camera the other end of the pigtail is broken out into 2 connectiors, a 6-wire connector with the Audio and Alarm relays, and a 9-wire connector with Ethernet, PoE, 12vDC, and the alarm ground wire. See my pictures. If you are only connecting the RJ45, you can safely unplug the alarm/audio header and even clip the 12vDC wires on the inside of the housing then chop off the unused pigtails leaving just the RJ45 external with no risk of shorts outside the camera.
