4K Outdoor Security IP Turret PoE Camera

WiFi camera (Ring, Nest, etc) are convenience camera, not security or surveillance cameras. They in varying degrees rely on the cloud to operate and are easily jammed/disabled, in addition to different limits on their use without subscriptions. Surveillance cameras will typically be described in meg

Bonus points if it’s PoE 4k over wifi should be a dealbreaker for you. Especially a "budget" 4k over wifi cam. Also, you don't need 4k as much as you think you do. Hikvision is the best option with Amcrest second; if that's too expensive, reolink 510a (not 4k but again, better quality than most 4k b

All my cameras are Amcrest PoE and none require a subscription. Reolinks are similar. There are actually quite a few to choose from, but I'm not entirely sure where you are on budget friendly. The Amcrest cameras I buy are around $80-$95 each. The high end of that is 4K resolution, night vision, AI

Ordered Anpviz 4K Dual Lens PoE based on reviews but even after flashing new FW doesn't seem to work with NFS and no option for FTP. Any suggestions Given that Anpviz is apparently rebadged Hikvision, you might check out HiLook and HikVision? Sometimes it is possible to reflash Anpviz cameras with t

Update: I just pulled the official Zyxel datasheet to double-check, and I had the dimensions wrong on the 18EP. Let me correct myself.

Amcrest POE NVR with Amcrest Night Color vision cams (IP8M-TB2886EW-AI). This will give you 24/7 recording in 4k with excellent night vision.

Amcrest may work for you if you want wired. Their cloud service starts at $6 per month ($10 for 4k) for 7 days retention of motion detection recordings. They also offer longer terms for retention as well as continuous recording. Ive also got several arlo wireless cameras that work well enough but th

I have the Amcrest cameras with HKSV, 3 different kinds and all support POE. They've been great, but the browser based admin page to config settings is trash. Other than that, I'm happy with them. ETA: didn't read the bit about color night vision, but seems like they have models that support it as w

Your best bet is looking for a used Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus or a small NVR from a brand like Amcrest(though they have Chinese links, they can be used 100% offline). Pair them with PoE cameras and just never plug the NVR into the internet. I

If you want 4k feeds, then yes, you need an AI port for every 3rd party camera. I also have a bunch of 8MP 4k 3rd party cams. Mine are Amcrest cams. I have 6 AI ports. 5 of them are connected to cams with 4k feeds and one is connected to 1 cam at 2k and 2 cams at HD (1080p). I also have one G6 turre
