Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW or Amcrest IP2M-841 ?
hi -
1st: they are both very good Cams {I have 2 of each.} & have
served me well for 9+mos. so far. I mounted them "outside" in
custom-enclosures in "protected" locations; and they have survived
a winter-summer(29 -- 99 degs) and spring deluges.
summary : I prefer the Hikvision ... by only a small-margin.
CAM features:
Hikvision :
(Compact-size , 3mp sensor, Better Resolution/Image in daylight, PoE(12v), Lens-Options(FoV), PiR, more advanced(professional?) setup, user-configuration & event-detection, discreet IR emiiter)
Amcrest :
(2mp sensor, Better low-light image , Pan-Tilt & Zoom(digital), lower-cost, company-support-forum,
operates-cooler(5v), preferred Playback/Live view in PC browser-UI(webcomponents), better-audio,
simpler image-setup )
btw: neither phone-app have impressed me much.
Depending on your needs, either cam should serve you well.
good luck
tip: take note/pix of "verification-code" on back of Hikvision CAM.
_ This code is NOWHERE-ELSE and some apps need it.

I am deciding which out of the DS-2CD2432F-IW and Amcrest IP2M-841 to go for. Which one out of these two do you prefer and why? I will be using in the living room for infant/nanny as well as covering the hallway.
Thanks,
Dani
