help Amcrest 4K POE Camera FAQ
Do I need a separate power supply for an Amcrest 4K POE Camera?
No, because the Amcrest 4K POE (Power over Ethernet) Camera receives both power and network connectivity through a single Ethernet cable. You will need a POE switch or a POE-enabled network video recorder (NVR) to plug the camera into. This eliminates the need to run a separate AC power cable to the camera's installation location.
How much storage does a 4K Amcrest camera use per day?
Because it records in ultra-high-definition 4K resolution, an Amcrest POE camera can consume significant storage space, often using 20GB to 40GB per day depending on motion activity. It is highly recommended to use H.265 compression to reduce the file size by up to 50% compared to H.264. Most users pair the camera with at least a 4TB hard drive in an NVR for continuous recording.
Can I view the Amcrest 4K camera feed remotely on my phone?
Yes, you can view the live feed and recorded playback remotely using the Amcrest View Pro app, available on both iOS and Android. The camera must be connected to a network that has internet access via your router or NVR. The app allows you to review alerts and view the crisp 4K stream from anywhere in the world.
Does the Amcrest 4K POE camera require a subscription for AI motion detection?
No, the AI motion detection features built into Amcrest cameras, such as human and vehicle detection, do not require a monthly subscription to function locally. However, if you want to use Amcrest Cloud for cloud-based video storage and remote alert history, you will need to purchase one of their subscription plans. Local recording to an NVR or MicroSD card remains completely free.
