Any reviews of Amcrest IP8M-T2669EW-AI ?

Just looking for anyone who has tried this Amcrest camera. I believe it is the same as the Dahua IPC-HDW3841EM-AS
I just received the Amcrest IP8M-T2669E-AI and can confirm it's the same as the Dahua IPC-HDW3841TM-AS.
It's system info screen states:

appAutoStart=true
deviceType=IP8M-T2669E-AI
hardwareVersion=1.00
processor=SSC339
serialNumber=**
updateSerial=IPC-HDW3841TM-AS

Hope this helps!
 
What is the current firmware for this camera? I could not find anything on the Amcrest site.

Has anyone actually tried the Dahua firmware? Is it really better?

This is my first Amcrest camera. It appears that you can do very little from the web interface?

Thanks
 
It adds some stuff under video like ai codec and “smooth” slider, some other protocols under network, and some other random stuff like custom overlay text.

notably, it removes face detection. But I’m not using it for that.

I also feel like the video is smoother, but that’s subjective.
 
I've posted a review for this camera - I didn't try replacing the firmware. For home use I like to hack away, but for someone else, I'd rather install something which they could hire someone else to support.
