Anpviz 4MP PoE IP Bullet Camera with Microphone/Audio, IP Security Camera Outdoor Indoor, Night Vision 65ft, Waterproof IP66, 108° Wide Angle 2.8mm Lens, 24/7 Recording, NDAA Compliant (U Series)

I have bought and installed 5 of these cameras, so I got to recently test a fair size batch, I would say.1st, the Pros:There's a lot to like about these cameras when/if they work:- good price- good picture, clear, decent resolution- nice web based user interface and good IP cam address search utility- good night vision image quality- motion/event triggering needs a bit of attention. I won't criticize at this point since I need to look into it because it missed a couple times I checked (a person and a cat) while it triggers continuously on night rain. A good surveillance software could help or compensate for that if it's an issue.Now the 2 Cons, which I hope are an isolated case:1. One of the cameras got a bit foggy after the 1st night's rain (light rain of fall). Since it cleared up after a few hours the next day, I thought that maybe the glass was just wet so I made nothing of it.The next rain, a couple of days later, fogged up the camera again, but this time even worse (see pics).That is completely unacceptable for a device that claims to be rated to IP66 protection.2. Two days later, I find that a second camera cannot be found by my surveillance software. This one is actually sheltered from rain, right under the eave. I restarted the network switch, the router, tried its address on the browser and even the Anpviz search utility software: none of it can find this particular camera.So here I am, after less than a week after adding these cameras to my surveillance system, already in need to replace 2 of the 5 new cameras, and it isn't just the cost, but it's just not fun to get back up the ladder at 20 feet high to replace them, and redo the cable clamps on brick wall.I wonder how good the customer service is on this brand, I haven't reached for their assistance, other than asking a question on this product page and it took the seller more than a week to respond, so I will likely won't reach for help in this case (I will just return the cameras).Needless to say, I am VERY DISSAPOINTED so far!Update 12/19/2022: Even though I haven't contacted the seller as I was planning to return the faulty devices, I was surprised to get an email from them after seeing my review. The seller rep. apologized for the inconvenience and justified that the problems encountered, although rare, were caused by possible manufacturing errors, and offered to send me 2 new devices which were shipped the next day and received the following day, all at their expense. I already replaced the 2 cameras and the new ones worked flawlessly.Now, in all fairness, I must say that I am surprised with the quality and speed of the service provided, especially considering that I didn't even try to reach for help. That tells me that this seller cares to keep a close eye on costumer feedback and acts fast to identify and solve issues promptly to keep their customers happy.So, bottom line, considering the help quality and speed offered by the seller, without even my solicitation, and given the fact that I actually like this product's performance vs cost as it is pretty hard to beat, I am now happy with the outcome and have updated my rating to 5 stars, and I can say that I am very confident to order again in the future, knowing that even if these mfg. issues are not as rare as stated by the seller, I will be in good hands and all troubles will be taken care of quickly and effortlessly.

I have bought and installed dozens of these little Anpviz bullet cameras. I am yet to see one fail. They work well, offer a solid 4MP image, support the ONVIF protocol (critical for my applications) and deliver the goods for most basic security applications.If you are seeking an affordable solution that works well with a wide range of DVR/NVR systems, this is an excellent choice. I see many camera installers pushing 4K (8MP) cameras for security systems. While 4K does offer better detail, it is often overkill for most security applications. This 4MP camera works well, and I have used recordings from these cameras many times with law enforcement and have had no issues with the resolution they offer as long as they are installed to offer good coverage of the desired area.They are well built and have a robust housing. Great value for the price.

I wasn't sure about the video definition and quality of this IP camera when I bought it (I didn't know this brand), but I am glad I bought it. This camera offers an amazing video quality and vision area / angle (much more than the previous camera I had in the same spot), for both day and night vision. Installation was easy, and set-up in my NVR was easy as well (under OVNIF protocol). It has additional features that I will be exploring soon. My NVR doesn't have PoE, but I power this IP Camera with a power source I had handy (power source / transformers is not included - well is not required if you have PoE from your NVR, Router or switch). Totally Recommended!

The camera is nice and compact with good features, but it is not plug and play as it says. The manual had lots of info on connecting it to a PC network for viewing, but that's not my config. I use my cameras with a NVR recording device and after attaching the camera to the ethernet cable going to the NVR it was not connected and not viewable automatically (plug and play). The manual does not explain how to connect it to a NVR using the camera's port and password. I had to email their support center for this advise, which worked. If not for this it would have stayed unconnected. Hence the three star rating for the trouble I went through.

It went in like a dream. Wonderful pictures for the price range. Very solid camera. I'm buying more of these. These put Reolink 5P cameras to shame. They worked instantly with my NVRs and Blue Iris.Bang for the buck and value for your $$? This is it! You'll get many years of quality security video with these.

I got this because I went to add a camera to my Harbor Freight Cobra NVR and Harbor Freight has quit selling cameras. I noticed my Cobra unit supported ONVIF protocol and so does this camera. It worked perfectly and very clear. Seems to be made very solid and was super easy to mount.

Despite that there is no reset button, 4 stars. You loose one star for the reset button.It is a decent little camera.Lab ResultsMake\Model: Anpviz \ IPC-B840WDate of Sale: NOV 2022Price: $35.99MP: 4MPLens: 2.8mmPTZ: NODefault IP: DHCPDefault Login: USER: admin \ password 123456ONvif: YESPOE: YESRTSP: YESStatic IP Optional: YESSub Streams: YESHard Reset Button: NONIGHT IR: YESMic: YESSpeaker: NOVarifocal: NOLens rotation (Dome Cameras Only): N\APower Consumption: 2 watts \ Night IR 3 wattsSupported Browsers: Windows XP - Internet Explorer, Windows 7- Firefox v88, Win 10 -Edge, Firefox========================Phones Home: YES **hb.icamra.com - CHINAvideo-policy.ictun.com - CHINAconn-policy.ictun.com - CHINAdns.ictun.com - GERMANY=========================
