Love this unit!! Recently installed one inside a dwelling for a client and most recently (today) two more, one under a covered porch and the other on the outside of a house. These are Power over Ethernet cameras that plug into a switch or router and are completely independent and do not require a dedicated recorder necessarily. You get 4 hours of free recording in the amcrest cloud and then it loops over. You also have the option to get emails, push alerts through the amcrest view pro app for motion detection and video tampering, downloading to a NAS or through an FTP drive, built in night vision up to 100 feet as well plus many other options.
Basically the camera is physically mounted by unscrewing the top white ring above the word "Amcrest" in the product photo there you have four screw holes to use provided phillips screws and drywall anchors if needed. Then feed your cable through hole in side of the structure or into a junction box if you're mounting it on a electrical junction box (a 2"X2" Junction box works well for this.) One side note here, if you are putting the cable through a structure or junction box for a clean, flush install you will need a 3/4 inch paddle bit. The Ethernet end of the pigtail connector is significantly thick. a 3/4 inch hole fits the connector perfectly.
If you do not wire through a wall/ structure/ junction box, the 8" pigtail connector can be routed out from under that four screw base which has four slots to slip cable under. After you have mounted the four screw baseplate and have decided where you're routing the cable, the cameras has the middle section that you can see below the product image's word, Amcrest. The camera sits in this and this is what is screwed in with ring that has "Amcrest" printed on it. The camera can be tilted only manually, NO motorized Pan Tilt Zoom or one/ two way audio.
This camera can be powered via two methods: a 12 volt power supply right at the camera IF you're fortunate enough for a convenient outlet near by. However most the time when in an attic or conduit, etc. this is not the case. Most often people will use PoE or power over Ethernet. PoE will input the correct voltage for the camera over the Ethernet line you are running for the data/ router connection. This is extremely easy and just takes plugging your Ethernet cable from camera into a "PoE Injector" or Poe Switch, both of which can be found here on amazon and then from that particular device to the router then you're set!!
Overall this is a great camera and you get a lot of functionality from the webpage (GUI) after finding the IP address through the provided software or your router webpage. These cameras are IP66 water and dust ingress protected and with the cast aluminum body these are not cheap feeling in the least. I love this model and brand of cameras and would definitely recommend them.

Customer Review: Keeping an eyeball on things from on high...

Reviews with images
Good for the price
The product seems sturdy and quality built. Comes with a dongle containing both a Cat5 connection and AC adapter connection. I only used the Cat5 since i was using it for PoE, and taped over the power plug. Also comes with a little sleeve thing to cover the connection of the Cat5 cable. This sleeve is about 3/4" diameter, i was able to fit it through the hole i drilled with a spade bit in my soffit. Also comes with four mounting screws, however i used different ones of a bit higher quality. The camera is fully adjustable, the ball can be moved in any direction and the "holder" for it also spins around. Picture quality and color are good, however the night vision seems lacking. I'm not sure it actually makes the full 98 foot claim, but i also haven't exactly measured it. See the pics and judge for yourself (screenshots from the Amcrest View android app).As i said, i set it up PoE with an Amcrest NVR and it works perfectly. Was just plug n play into the NVR. Then i was able to view the live cam footage on my phone through the Amcrest app which is nice. I believe this camera can also be connected directly to a router for live streaming, however you wouldn't get the extra features or recording capability of an NVR.My only real complaint is mounting the thing. There are ZERO instructions provided in the quick start guide in regards to physically mounting the thing to a surface, and i also was unable to find an actual manual (besides the quick start guide) on the Amcrest website. The quick start guide is very detailed in the use of the cam's features though. Anyway, i planned to mount the camera on the underside of my vinyl soffit but of course that's impossible to do with the ball in the way of the mounting screw holes. So i figured the ring that holds the ball in comes off....nope, it just spins around forever. Some of the metal inside the ring actually ground off just by the spinning and force i put on it trying to disassemble it. Turns out, you can just apply downward pressure on the ball from the top (mounting location) and the ball will pop right out. Would have been nice to know that before spending half an hour trying to unscrew the thing. But even then, you'll want a long screwdriver bit to be able to get the screws in because since the ring is still in the way you're kind of screwing in at an angle.It screwed into my vinyl soffit just fine with stainless steel 3/4" screws. Feels secure enough with no real solid backing behind it. Once the ring was mounted, i drilled a 3/4" diameter hole through the center to feed the cable up in to. There are also 4 little notches if you wish to run the cable out the side of the base. Once everything was in place, i pressed the ball back up in to the ring and it popped back in place. Hasn't fallen yet.One other thing i noticed while testing it indoors is that the top of the camera ball gets very hot. It kind of makes me nervous having it outside in the sun and heat, but we will see what happens.

This camera can be powered via two methods: a 12 volt power supply right at the camera IF you're fortunate enough for a convenient outlet near by. However most the time when in an attic or conduit, etc. this is not the case. Most often people will use PoE or power over Ethernet. PoE will input the correct voltage for the camera over the Ethernet line you are running for the data/ router connection. This is extremely easy and just takes plugging your Ethernet cable from camera into a "PoE Injector" or Poe Switch, both of which can be found here on amazon and then from that particular device to the router then you're set!!
Overall this is a great camera and you get a lot of functionality from the webpage (GUI) after finding the IP address through the provided software or your router webpage. These cameras are IP66 water and dust ingress protected and with the cast aluminum body these are not cheap feeling in the least. I love this model and brand of cameras and would definitely recommend them.
