The little 5MP one can still hold its own. Mount kinda sucks but damn for the price it is still nice and makes it easy to check out the Dahua/Amcrest line of things.

ALWAYS choose a turret over a bullet style in any case unless spiders don't exist where you live. The little ones love that little hood over the bullet and will constantly mess up the view and motion detection unless the hood is removed.

What do you have set for the setting under "Other" called Scaling? Mine is default set to Fast, but all my cameras look really bad (not using substream) I change the setting to Bilinear, then the cameras look much better in multi view.

@@digiblurDIY yeah, it's just that I have a monitor with all my cameras on live view 24/7, that way when I get a motion alert I just look at the monitor instead of having to pull up the app...this is why Fast would''t work since it makes all cameras look like crap on live view.

I know someone who home was burglarized they stole his NVR, but he had SD cards in his cameras. That video recorded on the SD card showed the license plate of the van that backed up into his driveway. I always advise to put in the SD card as a backup recorder not a primary device.

Hey Travis, I noticed at the end of the video when you had the lightning flash and you said "what's that?", the 8MP camera was nearly totally dark in night vision mode as opposed to the 5MP camera, why was that, isn't the 8MP camera supposed to have better night vision?

I don't think license recognition is a strong point of wide angle cameras with 2.8 or even3.6mm focal lengths. I use some Dahua cameras, which are the same hardware, and found them rock solid and good quality for the price point. I like that they do D1 resolution on the substream and the intermediate (substream 2) ca go right up to 1080p if needed. Looks like Amcrest have pretty well the same sort of menu and options as Dahua direct have, just branded Amcrest at top :) I find the features and quality to the dollar are pretty darn good. Sure, not as great as some rely expensive cameras, but better than the average camera aimed at home use. I find I use the SSA BLC mode a lot as the SSA seems to be the compromise between getting good contrast and getting the detail in the shadows.

Amcrest is Dahua, said that in the beginning of the unboxing. You can even go Dahua firmware on them for more up to date security updates. Absolutely correct on LPR. Pretty impossible unless that license plate is super close on even 4.0mm.

This is the worst security ever keep losing contact you have to restart your system I keep asking for security password each time you try to go again and the most important at night is horrible this is if the camera work, I bought Wi-Fi security camera from them and DVR and both are horrible I replace them, with eufy cameras not to forget to mention that amcrest camera Cannot recognize the difference between a human or a cat or a tree so you will receive false alarm again if the camera work but mostly, it will go down and less than 48 hours or three days maximum and if you’re going vacation good luck to fix it until you come back.
