This camera is packed with smart capabilities and industry-leading specifications such as CMOS 1/2.7” image sensor, 5MP resolution (2592x1944), 103° viewing angle, and built-in mic for one-way audio.

Installation and setup are quick and easy, and the camera supports Power Over Ethernet (POE) for easy power and networking connectivity. The camera doesn't include a power supply, which means you'll need to purchase a POE injector or switch separately.

The camera offers a fixed view and doesn't support panning or tilting. However, the super-wide 103° viewing angle allows you to cover more ground, making it easier to monitor large outdoor spaces effectively. The camera is also built to weather any storm and the darkest of nights, with a heavy-duty weatherproof IP67 housing, built-in IR LEDs, and CMOS technology image sensor, making it one of the best low-light performers in the market. The image quality is crystal clear during both day and night, and the night-vision range is up to 98ft, ensuring that you can monitor your property even on the darkest nights.

The camera can be connected to the Amcrest View app, which you always monitor real-time footage and receive motion alert notifications instantly. The app is available for both iOS and Android smartphones, and you can easily playback and review footage from anywhere. You can also use the Amcrest Surveillance Pro software for Windows and MAC that comes included, or third-party software such as Blue Iris, for professional playback and recording. The camera also supports MicroSD cards of up to 256GB, and you can use it with Amcrest NVRs, Synology and QNAP NAS, FTP, Edge, Chrome, Mozilla Firefox & Safari, giving you numerous storage options.

One of the unique features of the Amcrest 5MP Turret POE Camera is its ability to support secure remote storage through the optional Amcrest Cloud remote video storage subscription service. This service allows you to store your videos off-site in a third-party location hosted and secured by Amazon AWS. This way, your footage is safely recorded in a secure off-site location and accessible to you through a web-based Flash interface for PC (Chrome/Firefox/Safari/Edge) and AmcrestCloud smartphone app.

The camera also features a secure SSL/HTTPS connection, FCC certification, and receives regular firmware updates, ensuring that it's always up to date with the latest security features. Additionally, Amcrest provides a full 1-year US warranty and lifetime support directly from the company, making it a reliable and trusted security camera for your outdoor surveillance needs.
