I have a bunch of Amcrest brand cams, indoor and outdoor, plus one Reolink combination floodlight/camera. I like these PoE outdoor ones best: IP5M-T1179EW Indoor PTZ ones: IP4M-1041W Old wifi outdoor one: IP4M-1026E I got some with the plastic dome around them but they do not work well at night, especially in weather. I also have a ridiculous industrial PTZ camera that I put on my roof to watch birds, planes, and boats, and this thing is an absolute beast. I love it. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/4k-action-ptz-camera-...

Those Amcrest cameras are rebranded Dahua products with the logos changed. Right down to the firmware bugs and confusing UI. They’re actually great cameras for the money, but man do I loathe their quirks sometimes.
