![]() Since you cannot use PoE for these cameras, the only way to power them is using the included 12V power adaptors. The other unique feature is the presence of a strobe light and siren which can be effective in scaring away intruders. So even if the wireless connection to the NVR fails, the camera can still take motion detection images and clips. Interestingly, you can add an SD card of up to 128GB. Night vision of up to 30 metres range is standard. The camera does not support H.265, only H.264 encoding is present. ![]() The focal length of the lens is 2.8mm, and the resulting 103° field of view is good but falls short of the Amcrest 2MP IP cameras. ![]() They support 1080p (2MP) resolution using a 1/2.7″ CMOS sensor. These support IEEE802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. The 4 cameras included in this kit are the C3W ezGuard models, which can are also available for purchase separately. Still, its great that the NVR has its own Wi-Fi network – your wireless cameras are on their own wireless network separate from that of your other wireless devices. So the NVR can automatically connect and pair with the wireless cameras – no painful setup process for you to do! The claimed wireless range is up to 300 feet or 100 metres, but if you have solid concrete/steel in your walls, that range is going to be drastically reduced. One of the highlights of this kit is that the NVR has built-in 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Hikvision has retained ONVIF support in EZVIZ products and so you can add any ONVIF compliant wired or wireless IP camera to this NVR. Motion detection is possible on all the channels and it can also send motion triggered email alerts. The X5C ezNVR in this particular 4 camera kit is a 4-channel model which can record and playback all the channels simultaneously at up to 1080p. Old-timers may remember that once upon a time, Hikvision’s cloud P2P and DNS service was called EZVIZ. Recently, Hikvision launched their retail brand called EZVIZ. But it was still possible to buy their gear from the few authorised resellers Hikvision allowed (like B&H Photo). However they have never been keen on supporting retail customers. Hikvision is a brand that most DIY fans are aware of. Using the Amcrest smartphone app, you can login in to the NVR from anywhere at any time to see a live feed of all the cameras as well as recorded CCTV footage. ![]() They are also ONVIF compliant, so can work with 3rd-party ONVIF compliant NVRs or a DIY NAS NVR system. The 128° field of view is very good and one of the advantages of a 2 MP sensor. These are 1080p (2MP) IP cameras that can do night vision and have a very good IP67 weather rating. The camera included in this kit is the IP2M-852B4 model, which can also be purchased separately. ![]() I hope Amcrest remains open to inter-operability which is a key feature for us DIY enthusiasts. Since the NVR supports the ONVIF standard, you can add any 3rd party camera from manufacturers like Hikvision, Dahua, Sony, Vivotek, and even Foscam (Amcrest’s nemesis whom they had a falling out with and the reason for the Amcrest brand being created). Happily, Amcrest is not one of those guys. An unfortunate trend in the industry recently is to try and lock down products to trap you in a manufacturer’s ecosystem. Motion detection is possible on all the channels and it can send motion triggered email alerts. The NV2104-HS NVR in this kit is a 4-channel model which can record all the channels simultaneously at up to 1080p. Amcrest bundles their NVRs and cameras in a dizzying array of combinations, so you are sure to find a kit that matches your exact needs. This wireless NVR security camera kit is an entry-level model at a super budget-friendly price. Amcrest is a frequent guest on our recommended outdoor and indoor IP camera lists. ![]()
