Choose around the installation

ANNKE C800 fits
A fixed outdoor view on a wired PoE run.
ANNKE C800 does not fit
A Wi-Fi installation or a purchase that assumes every C800 pack is the same variant.

An outdoor fixed view after confirming the exact model and the manufacturer-linked specification.
Amcrest IP8M-T2599EW-AI-V3 does not fit
A purchase that depends on assuming every similarly named Amcrest turret uses this hardware.

ANNKE sells C800 in single and multi-camera packs and in bullet, turret and zoom forms. Match the exact form, lens and pack before ordering. A family name does not settle the supplied hardware.

Amcrest links this specification from the exact AI-V3 support article. The document heading names IP8M-T2599EW-AI-V3, but its model table shortens the names to IP8M-T2599EB-V3 / IP8M-T2599EW-V3. Confirm that identification with Amcrest before relying on it for an exact purchase. We have withheld a buying link.

Check the exact hardware before buying

We have not qualified one exact US Amazon variant, seller and condition for this model, so no buying link is shown. Manufacturer RTSP wording does not establish CameraViewer playback, audio or recording access.

The source-name discrepancy remains unresolved. The table describes what the manufacturer-linked specification publishes, not an independently confirmed supplied hardware revision. A codec or ONVIF profile in that document does not establish CameraViewer playback, audio, controls or recording access.

No physical camera has been tested in CameraViewer. A documented stream is a candidate for a test, not a promise of playback, controls or recording access.
