These cameras are absolutely phenomenal. Crystal clear video and audio with an easy setup, make this the best wifi camera out there for the price. I bought one of these for initial testing and within a week, I bought seven more. They will be used in a business setting for my review.
GOOD:
Setup - Initial setup was a breeze. All I had to do was scan the QR code on the bottom of the camera and it automatically populated all the information needed. Then you have to select which network to connect to as well as the wifi password and you are all set. Now anytime I wish to see what's going on at my workplace it takes 2 seconds to open the app and view the live feed.
Use - Like I've stated before it takes 2 seconds to open the app and view the live feed. After you have configured your device(s), you can then add them into the main page in any order you want. By default, it is set to show four cameras at once. Each camera is shown as a box on the main screen and all you have to do is tap one of the boxes and add the camera of your choice. You can then double tap on a camera box to zoom in (works better if you rotate your smartphone horizontally). Once zoomed in you can access the pan/tilt/zoom features, audio, create favorites, take a snapshot, take a video and some others that I haven't toyed with yet. The app itself is very responsive especially with the pan/tilt/zoom being almost instant. You swipe in the direction you wish to move the camera and bam its there. On a lot of other cameras I have tried the pan/tilt/zoom was very sluggish and unresponsive. By clicking the audio button in the zoomed in state you can get live audio to your phone. Same goes with the video. Overall a well designed and thought out app.
Video - The video on this thing is STELLAR. Very clear and crisp I can pick up the humidity reading on a thermometer from 15 ft away. This also comes with night vision, and I've gotta say, I have not seen a better night vision camera for this kind of price. It has a sensor that automatically switches on the IR LEDS given the appropriate lighting in the room. There is a very small delay in the video feed but it is significantly less than what I have seen in other cameras.
Audio/Microphone - Works quite well. Once the microphone button is pressed on the app you can send audio through your phone to the camera. Same goes for receiving audio.
Web Access - Pretty straightforward just type the ip address of the camera into your web browser. Supported browsers: IE Explorer, Safari, and Mozilla Firefox. The login page will popup so enter user and pass. You will also be asked to install Amcrest's plugin. From there, you can view live feed, pan/tilt/zoom, use playback (if you have a storage option) and change settings. The video on the web is outstanding compared to the app due to the increased screen size so definitely check it out. Another cool feature is the ability to get an email everytime the camera senses motion. You can set what time of the day you want this to happen as well.
Cloud - I have not tried the amcrest cloud, but I did receive a free year of Amazon Cloud with this purchase as a bonus. Not sure at this point if Amazon Cloud can be used with this camera.
Storage - Options include: Sd card, FTP, NAS and Amcrest Cloud. I do not know what the max storage of this camera is for a sd card, but sd cards these days can be up to 256GB.
BAD:
Audio/Microphone: I noticed when both audio and mic are on, there is a considerable amount of feedback. This is because the mic and speaker are too close together. There may be a workaround in the settings, but I have not found that yet.
Web Access: Pan/tilt/zoom is not located in the same page as the live feed page. Therefore once you click on PTZ you lose all the other options such as audio/mic and others. Nothing major just something I thought to point out.
All in all if you are looking for a security system to buy, look no further. These cameras will provide you with everything you are looking for and then some. There are countless features here to be used in any situation. You have a greater peace of mind with these around. If anyone tries to rob my business I know Amcrest has my back.
UPDATE 12/1/15 If you head over to amcrest.com/firmware there is an update which puts PTZ on the same screen as the live view.
UPDATE 6/11/16 Everything is still going very strong... I have installed 18 of these cameras now and use them in conjunction with Blue Iris. If anyone has questions about setup just ask.

A Long Term Review Of The Amcrest Indoor Cameras
Garon & Sara Cooper
Reviews with images
The best 1080p dome-style camera I've used.
I've gone through more of these cameras than I like to admit. I'd been using a Foscam FI9821P for a while, and not been happy with it. Focus is poor, and the color at night under house lighting is a dingy orange (see picture!). I'd already exchanged one, but the replacement was no better, so I just gave up.Given the above, the chance to review the Amcrest ProHD couldn't have come at a better time. However, the setup procedure wasn't quite as smooth as I'd have liked it to be. If it had been just a LITTLE clearer, I'd have been happier. But let's start at the beginning..First, the box it comes in is excellent. Well-packaged, feels high-end, and overall is a positive unboxing experience. Unlike some other dome-camera systems, the wifi antenna is built in. There's no external antenna to connect, and in my experience checking signals in the desktop browser app, it hasn't needed it.I plugged the power cord in to the camera/wall, and then the included ethernet cable from the camera to my Apple Airport Time Capsule ac model.I'm an iPhone user, and setting up with my iPhone 6s Plus in iOS 9 was a little more confusing than I'd like. The setup card included in the box directed me to download the Amcrest Viewer (the free one is all you need if you're not needing push notifications etc). No issue, - downloaded in seconds.. Adding the camera was very simple by scanning the QR code at the bottom of the camera itself. At this point, it asked me to input my WiFi SSID and password to connect to the network. But... but... I don't want to use WiFi, because I connected the camera via an ethernet cable!Turns out, you don't need to worry. I entered in a network SSID the camera couldn't see (my 5Ghz network, for example, or you could use an entirely made-up network. Either way, the camera is not 5Ghz compatible). Type in a fake password, and hit connect. Voila, it will say "Done," but really it's just using wired ethernet at this time because it didn't connect to WiFi. It's a bit odd you can't just pick wired and skip WiFi setup, but there you go.., you're done!For reference, more fine-tuning of things (like adding day/date stamps to your video or adjusting hue/contrast/night vision) can be done in the desktop browser, so log in to the camera and make changes there. This is pretty simple, following the setup card instructions. You can also completely disable the WiFi chip from the browser app on your computer, which I did. No need to even have it on if you're using a wired connection. This worked on my iMac running El Capitan, in the Safari browser, - no issues.At this point, on my iPhone and via the desktop browser, - I was very impressed with the image quality. It absolutely DESTROYS the Foscam FI9821P (see comparison picture). For one, the orange cast to the image under regular house lights is now gone. Second, the image is much wider, fitting more of the room into the image. Unfortunately, there is some barrel distortion on the edges, but this is to be expected at such a wide angle. The center of the image looks great, with very little distortion. To "solve" this, you can always zoom in just a hair in the app. Yes, it's digitally zoomed, but it makes very little image-quality difference, and does remove the barrel distortion on the edges.Moving the camera left/right/up/down is also very simple, and VERY smooth in the iPhone app, over both WiFi and LTE.One unfortunate thing, though, is that there's no native iPhone 6/6s support (including Plus models). I'm hoping Amcrest updates their app to properly support these devices. The app works fine in iOS 9 on those iPhones, but you can tell it's not optimized for their resolutions. The app is definitely a bit of a letdown, but it's not too far off the mark. It does the job, though, and is free.I'm very impressed with the camera quality. It's the best I've used. The colors, especially under house lighting at night, are surprisingly accurate. The room the camera is located in actually looks like this in real life in comparison to the video feed. Automatic switching to night vision works great, and the resultant image is also excellent. While out this evening, I was able to do a test run over LTE, enabling the speaker/microphone in the Amcrest Viewer app and having a conversation with my wife. It worked just great.Overall, this is a superb camera. With a few tweaks, the app could be great, which is my only minor complaint.4.75 out of 5. A gold-standard dome camera.*Sample received for objective review*
