## Description

Product description

Review: NVR FIRST, Cameras second! - I have had two POE Amcrest cameras now for just over a year. My biggest regret now is not having a reliable source of data-storage. Prior to having this NVR I tried several solutions to avoid "spending" more money. 1) Internal storage using the microsd. (These failed within a week...) 2) FTP storage - (SUPER unreliable, and EXTREMELY challenging to setup... Most FTP services only support one channel at a time! So imagine trying to deal with that...) Not to mention accessing these files means MANUAL WORK!!! 3) NAS - NAS solution was not bad, but still the same situation with manually accessing files... No decent UI to support these files being saved here... NVR is a game changer... DO NOT BUY CAMERAS without this being part of your shopping list. Buy less cameras and START with if you have to! 1) Setup pretty simple. I would suggest buying a different HD (I personally like Seagates...) Simply unscrew and place harddrive and screw into place... Plugin using the cables provided. 2) Hook up... POE ports make for less POE switches. 8 is plenty for my house... I would even say for "most" houses... Their is a cheaper model of this that seemingly does not have POE... I would say do not go with this, as you will later have to upgrade. This device also has HDMI and VGA output. I personally plugged this directly into my TV. Now I can stream all of my connected cameras to this... 3) Setup... Setup overall is pretty simple and easy to do... Biggest issue is understanding which windows and controls... Mouse can take a minute to get used to as left click triggers, right click exits... Various windows for managing each Camera can be difficult, but again once you get the hang of where things are... It gets easier. My cameras were mostly setup already so mostly just had to have my NVR log into each. 4) LIVE... Out of the gate the NVR is accessible via web browser, or app. I use the app more often... Now if you leave your home network you will need to have some basic Networking skills to do port forwarding. Having a DNS service is super helpful. Most routers now days have these built in, and just have to be configured. 5) Reviewing... NVR's make things SO much better. Yes its still a bit clunky. However, now I can go into any given date and pull up a feed. I wish I could scan faster, but maybe that will happen in the future.. Technically it would be better to just have it setup for alerts, but I prefer 24x7 recording. Much less chance of missing something. ---- CONS / Issues 1) The fan on the NVR is rather loud. I expect either it will "quiet" down over time. If not it appears to be a standard fan, so likely can be exchanged. Definitely do not use this without one as the POE, and harddrive will overheat... Especially if running multiple channels... 2) Interfaces - These are still a bit difficult to manage, but not impossible. Take some time getting used to where things are located. My preference is using the APP to manage each option set for the cameras. Even the Web Interface as then you can export/import much easier in my opinion. (templating makes this so much better to manage multiple cameras!) OVERALL Do not start into this path of cameras without an NVR. Period... It changed my whole setup, and is so much more reliable.
Review: Great NVR - I had recently purchased a complete Amcrest system for my father, and after getting it setup for him, I decided I wanted one as well. I already had the cameras, just needed the NVR instead of just being able to watch the cameras, now I could record them as well! This fit the bill perfect, just had to pop in a drive I had handy, and off I went. Using the P2P feature is great, not having to manually poke holes through the firewall and simply being able to bring up the app and there's my cameras. The recording feature is pretty great as well. You can select any or all the cameras and see them on a single timeline, making it very easy to go through recordings. The motion detection is spot on as well, any time a car would go by, or a bicycle or someone walking it would capture it and even was able to set it up to email me! Setup was super simple, just hook it up to a monitor either over HDMI or VGA, and use the included mouse to go through the setup. I had it up and running and connected to my existing cameras in under 5 minutes. Speaking of which, this thing integrates with existing cameras seamlessly. Being able to use the 4 I had already setup before hand was great. The hardware itself works a treat too. I was able to sit and watch the streams with no hiccups, no blips just a nice crisp clear image. Recording was seemless as well, the only thing I had to setup that I didn't like out of the box is that it would take a screenshot every second. I set it to only take a screenshot when it detected motion, which made looking through alerts much easier. I've attached a few pictures showing the size of it compared to a standard flash drive, it's very compact! I also took a screenshot of the main page of the device showing some of options and the nice interface. All in all, if they would have had this a few years ago, I would have bought it then. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for an easy to setup and use NVR

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the playback and video saving functionality user friendly on this NVR?**
A: There is nothing user-friendly about Amcrest software. I am a software engineer, and their software, both for NVR (I have this exact model) and cameras is simply horrible. I wish I knew it before I purchased their products. Mac support is much worse than that for Windows. I am not even able to setup NVR to notify me of motion detection events. And a couple of other things, like NVR records video in .DAV format, and if you download it for playback, you will need to find 3rd party software to play DAV video. I'd stay away from anything sold by Amcrest.

**Q: Will this nvr support both poe cameras and wifi cameras simultaneously?**
A: Yes.

**Q: Anybody tried these goswift cameras on this nvr?    goswift 4k ultra hd weatherproof bullet security ip camera | 8mp 3840x2160 | 100' night vision**
A: All Amcrest Technologies are Onvif Compliant.  If the Goswift 4K cameras are Onvif Compliant then they will run in the unit.  However Amcrest recommends running Amcrest Cameras in Amcrest NVR and DVR's for a more full featured overall experience.

**Q: What is the power on the PoE? 802.3af or 802.3at?**
A: Uses both af and at

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect replacement for CCTV Pros NVR
*by R***. on December 2, 2023*

I've only had this for a week but so far I am very happy with this purchase. I needed to replace an NVR from CCTV Pros that went bad just out of warranty. Their cheapest replacement was 4 times more than what I paid for this. My POE cameras (5 from CCTV Pros, and 2 ONVIF) were recognized immediately when plugged in. The ONVIF cameras were set with static IP addresses, so I did have to set them to DHCP first. The firmware is very similar to my old CCTV Pros NVR. What surprised me the most was when I transferred the hard drive from the old NVR to this one, I did not have to reformat it. Actually, all the previously recorded video integrated seamlessly with the Amcrest firmware. Setup was much easier than I anticipated. I can not comment on the P2P and app that Amcrest provides as I use my own cloud (Home Assistant) to view the video stream remotely. That setup was also much easier than anticipated (using rtsp streams from the NVR to Generic Camera entities in HA). Hopefully it holds up over time. For now, I am very pleased with this purchase and consider it an excellent value. Edit: After running this for a week, I discovered an issue with the CCTV Pro cameras. Not a big issue for me, but when the cameras switch to night mode, a "Tampering" alarm is triggered causing the video to start recording and it doesn't stop until another event occurs. This was causing all the cameras to record all night long. In order to prevent it from happening (I only want to record when Motion is detected), I had to disable the Tampering Alarm on all the cameras in question. The ONVIF cameras did not have this issue, so either they work as they should, or they are so cheap that they don't have a Tampering detection feature.
