4K Outdoor Security IP Turret PoE Camera

For those who have asked: I have 5 Amcrest 4K IP POE cameras (Model IP8M-2779EB-AI) around the perimeter of my house plugged into a gigabit POE switch. I also have an Amcrest Video Doorbell (Model AD410) connected over WiFi. This doorbell is ideal because it runs on the 12V power supply used for a t

That’s why you buy the cheap Chinese amcrest and reolinks toss them onto their own VLAN that’s segmented from your network and the open internet. I have 10 4k amcrest cameras and 1 Reolink doorbell camera/chime that all play very nicely with frigate and home assistant

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.

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

"Assuming I want to buy other brands of cameras AND still want AI object/pet/face/human/car detection, what do I need to accommodate 8-10 cameras (let's say 2x 4K and the rest 2K resdolution)?" Right now AI for 3rd party cams in Protect is limited to using an AI Port. That'll add AI to one 4K cam. I

It depends on the specific setup I guess. What do you stand to lose? What is your threat? Can you modify the building and run wires? Are you leasing a place for not much longer, or there long term? Lights always on, or need IR? I would use cameras that are wired only, and can be Power over Ethernet
