Top reviews from the United States.

I didn't know anything about purchasing or installing a camera like this but I knew I wanted a hardwired camera so I would not have to mess with recharging or batteries. I researched cameras on Amazon and YouTube and learned about a PoE camera (power over ethernet). It was so easy to install with just running a coax cable ( used cat 6) from the camera to an additional item I needed, a PoE switch that I purchased on Amazon and a short coax cable to go from the switch to my router. That's it. I also purchased a 256gb SD card for continuous recording.
I used the Amcrest Pro View software on my iphone and tablet and the Amcrest Surveillance on my desktop (both versions are free). In hindsight it was super easy to install but at the time it was a learning experience. I probably spent two hours installing the camera and hooking it up and another 3-4 hours getting to know the software. The Amcrest quick start guide and the website both contain a lot of information.
The wide angle lens is a huge plus in my situation, I would not have been happy with just a narrow view. Running the higher resolution gives a fantastic view. Using the SD card for recording means I don't need a cloud service but I can still view the camera remotely.
Overall I could not be happier with the camera and would recommend it for easy installation and great view.
