Review: Simply the best, including the night vision feature.
Review: This Amcrest bullet security camera, model IP8M-2796EW-AI, has been an overall positive experience to set up and use. I am using it to replace an older model camera with lower resolution, and have attached the new one to the rear of my property on the garage. The packaging for the camera was top notch. It was packed securely in foam padding, and included a mounting template, screws and anchors, and the necessities to ensure a water-tight connection to the ethernet port if necessary. Some brief documentation was also in the box, although I found myself consulting the more thorough online documentation while learning the nuances of the device. As has been my experience previously with other Amcrest cameras, set-up was simple. I attached the camera to a PoE switch to provide power and to perform initial configuration before mounting it. It obtained an IP address from my DHCP server, and after logging in to the familiar web interface and changing the default password, I set a static address for the device. For this type of gear, I prefer to group the cameras within the same consecutive static IP space - it just makes them easier for me to manage, but isn't a necessity for operation. After completing the initial configuration, I mounted the camera in its new home on the outdoor wall of the garage and aimed it in the direction that I want to observe. The camera housing is quality, and it feels quite durable, so I wasn't fearful of breaking it while mounting. Once mounting was complete, I attached the permanent PoE ethernet cable and began to configure the details of the device. I utilize my fleet of Amcrest cameras with Synology's Surveillance Station, and I was pleased to see that this camera model is present in the Synology, so I did not have to configure it as a generic Amcrest device. The camera's AI features are really good at detecting both humans and cars. The alley at the rear of my property is infrequently traveled by cars, but people do walk through it during the day. In the Synology, I configured it to record only on detection of these advanced events, and it's doing a great job. The camera's image sensor is EXCELLENT, at 8MP. The detail captured by this sensor is really good quality. Should something nefarious occur at the back of my home, I am confident that this camera will capture anything needed to identify those involved. The nighttime image quality is also exceptionally great. I have also scheduled the camera, within its web interface, to only flash the white light during specific overnight nighttime hours - hours during which I want someone to know it's there, in case they have bad intentions. While performing configurations and in an attempt to get everything set up just right, I consulted with Amcrest's detailed PDF documentation for the product. They cover the bases, detailing answers to any of the questions I had along the way. There's also the option to reach out to support, and even a few support forums for deeper discussion, but I didn't require that level of help with this device. In all, Amcrest has delivered another device that doesn't disappoint. I feel comfortable knowing that this watchful eye is present to keep watch over things on my property.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i use these without the nvr? i have a 48 port poe switch and want 8 cameras to back up to a network drive. i also want 24/7 recording. possible?**
A: Take a look at AI-HomeGuard software (running on PC/Windows 10, Linux Nvidia Jetson Nano) - search keyword “ai-homeguard” at Amazon. The AI based software eliminates any false alarm without missing positive events, sends email alerts, and records detected objects (person, car, dog …) on your PC; remote access alert images, recordings and live view of all your home cameras from remote devices. No cloud service needed.

**Q: Does this one come in black?**
A: Not at this time.

Amcrest Team

**Q: Is the "color night vision" only possible with the light? I would not be using the light as I want this to be more stealth**
A: You don't need to light the camera's field of vision (FOV) for the camera to work at nights.  It has multiple, lighting-related settings to optimize the camera's effectiveness both in daylight and night conditions.  Also, the camera does not have a visible light on the outside which would reveal its existence and position.

**Q: Ip8m-2597ew.  does this come with a 4.0mm lens?**
A: The link is only for a document not a product. A chat with sales rep on Amcrest website confirmed that IP8M-2597E-40MM does not exists.

### ⭐ Review
*by G***R on 22 August 2025*

I have 7 Amcrest cameras and I've been using them since 2016. 5 of the 7 cameras are Amcrest IP8M-2496EW-V2 UltraHD Outdoor Bullet PoE IP Security Camera, 4K. Aside from them having basic detection, they all work very well. I wanted something that had a security deterrent, the LED on this camera is trigged by a human detection. You can set it to stay on, or flash. At night when you set to to high flash, its perfect, exactly what I want, it makes it very obvious to the person in my yard you're being recorded. The IVS human and vehicle detection worked as it should, and image/video quality was good. The issue... After getting it installed, I found out that any motion detection and IVS events when played back using the Amcrest Surveillance Pro desktop and mobile app it would not start at the time of the event, it would 30 seconds to as much as 9 minutes before the event. For example, a triggered event at 2:00am, when you play it back would be 1:51:02am. Then if you scrubbed or skipped up to the event using the timeline, it would start to show you the triggered event then loop back 5 seconds 3 times, and then jump back to 1:51:02am again. I checked and the camera had the latest firmware version available. I opened a case with Amazon, they sent me a replacement camera. (thank you for great Customer service!) Meanwhile, I also opened a support ticket with Amcrest. It did take them a couple of days to get back, but once we started communicating support was on point. I kept the original camera on hand hoping Amcrest would find an issue with either my settings or maybe identify a hardware issue. Amcrest Support sent me a beta version firmware to install. The install didn't clear my settings, but I still formatted the SD card and factory reset, and put my settings back in. The issue was still present. Then I installed the Amazon replacement camera, did the same steps, SD format, updated firmware to beta version supplied by Amcrest Support. Issue is STILL present. I then installed a 128GB SD card from one of my perfectly working IP8M-2496EW-V2 cameras. Formatted SD, and sadly, it still had the exact same issue. Amcrest Support tech bench tested the same camera and could not replicate the issue. They think the batch sent to Amazon might have a defect. Sadly this means any replacements I get are most likely going to have this defect. I ended up sending both the original camera and the replacement back to Amazon. Amcrest Support and Amazon Customer Service gets 5 stars here, however the camera itself, gets the lowest 1 star. I spent nearly a week going up and down my ladder on my garage to try to resolve this issue. I really like Amcrest cameras and would hate to change brands, however, I did purchase a Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus. Without turning this in to a Ring camera review, I really hate their software, love the hardware. I will check back with Amcrest support to see if they can get me a camera that is known to not have the defect! **Update** I heard back from Amcrest Support and they confirmed this, they bench tested camera and had the same/similar issue. So this was not limited to only a batch of cameras. If you have a camera that does this, you need to reach out to Amcrest Support.
