The Amcrest UltraHD 5MP Outdoor POE Camera IP5M B1186EW 28MM White also comes with adjustable motion detection zones and sensitivity settings, so you can customize the security of your outdoor area. Plus, when motion is detected the camera can send an email or phone alert so that you can review the footage via the Amcrest View app. You can also playback and record footage on a PC using the Amcrest Surveillance Pro software or Blue Iris Professional.

This Amcrest POE camera features a secure SSL/HTTPS connection and is compatible with Amcrest NVRs as well as third party NVRs, so it s ideal for businesses or homes that have existing surveillance systems in place. Additionally, this camera is equipped with a heavy duty metal weatherproof IP67 housing, as well as a built in IR LED and low lux image sensor to achieve amazing low light capability and night vision up to 98.4 feet.

It works with Alexa through AmcrestCloud and is accessible through a web based Flash interface for PC Chrome/Firefox/Safari/Edge, as well as through an AmcrestCloud smartphone app.

Overall, I found this product incredibly easy to install thanks to its POE design and impressed by its 5 Megapixel 2592 x 1944p video resolution with enhanced low light capability that provided excellent picture quality in any lighting conditions day or night. It also comes with all of the features necessary for reliable security such as adjustable motion detection zones and sensitivity settings which can be used to customize your surveillance system according to your needs. Finally, there s also an optional cloud storage subscription available if you want added peace of mind when it comes to protecting your property from intruders or monitoring any suspicious activity in your area.
