I own several Amcrest cameras, and while the video quality is very good, even in low light, I cannot recommend them to anyone due to wireless connectivity issues. Time after time, the camera will simply not load because of no connection to wifi. Dont forget, these things run off of 2.4ghz, not 5ghz, so you are restricted to how much bandwidth the device can use. What I do like about them is that they are very clear, and also allow for uploading video feeds to FTP servers, so you dont have to pay another company to host it. Side note -- Foscam, Amcrest, Q-See...all the same company.
I have few of them as well. I agree they are one of the best consumer grade indoor IP cameras you can find. However, I've never had wireless connectivity issues like wildred said.You can try to use a fixed channel on your wireless router/access point so that they will stay connected. Auto channel option may cause the disconnect issue. At least that's what I did and they stay connected for over 1 year without dropping. I hope this help.
