is the Amcrest Qcam webcams any good?
« on: November 18, 2016, 09:14:02 AM »
being that today is my b-day I thought of getting myself a gift. I see the Amcrest Qcam 3-MP are kind of a nice price on ebay right now. But I don't want to buy junk if they are a bad thing. Anyone have one here? Thoughts about it?
Thanks!

I am also thinking of getting one but a slightly different model. 3MP, 100 degree FOV and night vision to 98ft.
It seems that for what they offer the price is kind of low. Reading the reviews most of them give the cams a thumbs up.
If you contact cust support they will give you password to check out the demo's.
However don't use Chrome with the demo's. Doesn't work. Use FF.

If you do get it shoot a IM to me so I can check out your camera.
thanks!

One other thing about their app to control the camera.
It received bad reviews on Google Play. Didn't look for reviews for the IOS version.

I got my eye on the Amcrest too.  Did you buy it or not?

Still deciding between Amcrest and Hikvision.

Been using an Amcrest for about 6 months with no real issues. Was using an older Foscam before and the setup screens are a lot different and have additional configuration options so it took me awhile to get everything how I wanted it. You can see it at http://nfmweather.com/weather/wxwebcamcurrent.php

I don't have a live feed setup.

The one thing that might push me to Hivision is the warranty.
Hikvision-3 years
Amcrest-1 year.

I did not. My stardot camera died now so I am just thinking. I might wait till they have a good deal and get a stardot again. Mine lived for close to 15 years.....still thinking..
