Common questions
How far can the Amcrest UltraHD 4K 8MP Outdoor Bullet Security IP PoE Camera, 98ft NightVision identify someone?
Computed from its published 8MP (4K) sensor and 2.8 mm lens, it reaches the EN 62676-4 identification threshold of 250 pixels per metre at about 28 ft, and recognition at about 55 ft. Past that it still records events clearly, but the footage will not establish who a stranger was to an evidential standard.
What is the infrared range of the Amcrest UltraHD 4K 8MP Outdoor Bullet Security IP PoE Camera, 98ft NightVision?
Amcrest states 98 feet. That is the distance the camera own infrared lamp reaches under ideal conditions against a reflective target, and it is not the distance at which the camera can still identify a person. Illumination falls off unevenly and the sensor works much harder at night, so usable identification distance after dark is materially shorter than the daylight figure.
What specifications does Amcrest publish for this product?
Resolution: 8 MP, Stated IR range: 98 ft, Lens: 2.8 mm. Everything in the table on this page is taken from the manufacturer listing rather than measured by us. Any row shown as not published is a figure this maker does not state, and this site will not fill that gap with an estimate.
Is the Amcrest UltraHD 4K 8MP Outdoor Bullet Security IP PoE Camera, 98ft NightVision worth buying?
Amcrest publishes its IR range and its lens focal length in the listing, which is rarer than it should be and is what makes a coverage calculation possible before you buy. This site does not test products in person, so that assessment comes from the published specifications, the applicable standards and verified owner reports rather than from hands-on trials we did not run. Prices change often, so check the current listing before deciding.

Work out whether it fits
Specifications are published figures, not measurements we took. This site does not test products in person. Where a maker does not publish a figure, such as a true infrared range or a low light rating, this page says it is not published rather than estimating one, because a reader planning a camera position around an invented number is the worst outcome this site could produce.
