Easy to setup and use!
The camera was cery easy to setup and install using the app! I love that it has a step by step guide and an interface that even my wife could follow along! We use it with our daughter and can keep track of her movements and sleep during the night in the crib.
Easy to use and wonderful item. Great movement alerts and intuitive interface.
10/10 product!
Great, easy produc
Really sturdy camera. It’s got good vision and easy to set up with the simple instructions. We use our two cameras for our two baby girls and it’s easy to monitor both at the same time. We needed a camera that had really good range and it’s brilliant with the notifications. Great, easy to use produc
Amazing little camera
Love everything about it… I bought two of them already, a white one, and a black one… Just left one on the kids bedroom so I can control them while I’m downstairs… Went abroad on holiday and I could check my living room from distance… I’m very satisfied…
Very good camera with easy set up
Really good camera. The image quality is excellent and was easy to install – took a few minutes.
The app is really easy to use. I have 5 of these cameras now and one of them wasn’t working so I contacted their customer support, the process was simple and easy and Judy resolved the issue – thank you very much
All of i
This product is fantastic for the money. I don’t usually write reviews, but felt this needed it. Will definitely be buying another 2 for my upstairs
Easy to set up, not laggy, sound and microphone is very good, motion detects really good too.
If you’re after a security camera and think going cheap is not the best idea, you’re wrong, best value for money
and so much better than imagined. We got one so we can check on our slightly needy French Pointer whilst he’s alone and it works like a charm. The ap was easy to install and it was up and running in a few minutes. The option to scan left/right/up/down means when it’s sat above the fireplace we can get a full view of the sitting room and partly out into the kitchen. The picture is crystal clear and the sound adequate but for less than 20 it’s still remarkably good overall. Every night he comes downstairs after everyone’s gone to bed to fetch a toy for ‘just 5 minutes more playtime’, it’s quite amusing watching him on the ap come down in virtual darkness and find something that takes his fancy…last night it was Colin the Caterpillar, (seriously), although he did think briefly about Fred the Fish and his ‘Frizzer’ (Gabe talk for frisbee) before settling on Colin. I feel a bit sorry for Colin as he cops it more often than not but it keeps the hound happy. If you need a decent camera for looking in on your dog or whatever this little unit really is excellent. Also I tried it today at lunchtime while at work, he was sat with my daughter on the settee minding his own business while she worked on her laptop, I pressed the ‘speaker’ button and asked…’Gabriel, are you being a good boy buddy’? He shot up, looked slightly puzzled then disappeared into the kitchen looking for me so that works well too, whether it’ll work on the odd occasion he howls remains to be seen. Recommended for sure.
Secondary Monito
The camera is wonderful. I bought it as a secondary monitor, for when my baby sleeps in her crib in my room, as she has a monitor fixed above her cot in her room, which she naps in during the day. Having this secondary camera gave me comfort to relax with my husband in the evenings before we headed to bed.
Now that our daughters permanently in her cot, we will either use the camera as a security camera for inside the house, or portable baby monitor for when we are away.
A small and mighty piece of ki
I had some issues setting up this device but the support team member Judy was fantastic at helping me get the camera operating. One thing to note, if you have an Eero 6 Pro you should switch off advanced security during setup.
I’m using the Q5 camera to monitor the back door where my dog likes to chew things and it was easy to link up to my Nest Display in my home office. A perfect and inexpensive camera with great image quality and infrared at night time.
Top notch home camera
Bought this camera to be able to keep an eye on the dogs while I’m at work and I’ve got to say it’s worked perfectly out of the box with no issues.
The camera quality is brilliant and clear even when I’m on mobile data.
The app is easy to use with a talk function and alarm function which I use a lot to stop the dogs from being naughty!
You can rotate the camera from the app to see more of the area
I would highly recommend this camera!
Really great!
Really great camera. The system works really well for my needs. The play back function is sufficient for me at the minute without having to subscribe but it seems easy to do should I need to. I mainly watch the feed live.
The image quality is good.
Easy to install.
The app is easy to use as well.
I have a few of these cameras now and I had an issue with one of them that I needed to contact their customer support, the process was simple and easy and their simple solution resolved the issue – thanks!
Really great camera and app
I found this camera was very easy to set up. The range of motion is great. I use the camera with an Amazon basics 128gb microSD card. The functionality of the app is fantastic. Even without a paid subscription you can set up different viewpoints and set the sensitivity of the motion detector. It records short videos if motion is detected and you can download these to your device. It really puts my mind at ease that I can visually check when away from the property. I can view the camera on both my tablet and mobile, and it was easy to set up on multiple devices. I have been using it for a month now, with no issues. This is a really fantastic camera and app, and I’ll definitely be ordering more of these cameras in the future.
Really pleased with this indoor security camera. Bought it for my husband’s workshop as he is a little unsteady on his pins, as well as other health issues, in case he has a fall or is taken ill. I can check to see if he’s ok. The bonus of course is the fact that it acts as a security camera too. The pictures are so clear, we are both impressed. After a certain time it switches to infra-red ( pictures are then black and white but equally clear). We’ve now purchased a micro sd card and card reader so we can capture videos. The motion alert is very good as you can see what’s happening frame by frame ( only lasts 24 hours). Fantastic little security camera.
Seriously good camera, been using it for around 4 weeks. And the quality is so good. Feeds straight to your phone. You can log into tablets laptops and just have it on if you to have constant view of it as i have a new born and need to hear and see them across the house more easily. Great quality and the night vision is extraordinary. You see just as well in the night vision as you do in the day. Plus there’s a mic to speak into and some other fun features like motion detection that causes 10 second clips to be saved and kept for 24hrs. And all of this is the non paid version. You can get many more perks with the paid version but this sufficed me.
The Wansview WiFi IP Camera is a steal for the price! Super easy to set up and use via the user-friendly app. Even if you’re not a tech whiz, you’ll have no trouble getting it up and running. Great range of features including motion alerts, playback, pan/tilt & zoom, the ability to save favourite positions to quickly switch to them, talk, photo and video capture, plus much more. A bracket for wall or ceiling mounting is also provided.
The audio quality – honestly, it’s not top-notch, but considering the price, it’s totally acceptable. The speaker feature gets the job done, although it’s not super clear. You can still have a conversation or listen in.
As for the picture quality, it could be better, but it’s good enough for most situations. Don’t expect high-definition stuff, but for everyday monitoring, it gets the job done. And again, considering the price tag, I’m not complaining.
To record, you’ll need to buy a separate memory card or sign-up for cloud recording. Cloud recording has three Subscription options and comes with an initial free trial. Each plan offers various add-ons and billing options including annually/monthly/quarterly. The Basic (Standard) plan offers 7-day motion recording for up to 3 devices, the ablity to share a device with up to 5 people, alerts with image previews and the ability to quickly look back through recordings, all for 5.99 per month (or 5.00 per month if billed annually).
If you’re on the hunt for a user-friendly camera that won’t break the bank, the Wansview WiFi IP Camera is a solid choice.
Great visuals
This camera is great. I got it due to my Foster cat giving birth so I can keep and eye on the little family. Visuals and sounds are excelle
We needed a cheap(ish) camera to monitor our 6 year old dog who is recovering from a major operation on his back leg. I bought this one based (slightly) on the reviews (not always truthful on amazon). I have to say I was delighted with it when it arrived. It was so simple to set up and was up and running on several devices in record time. (In the past with some cameras the set up has been a challenge!)
The picture quality is amazingly sharp and a bonus is that you can use your fingers to enlarge the image being transmitted making it easy for us to see if any licking/nibbling of the wound site was happening. Night vision mode is very good too as is the audio function. Overall I am very impressed with the camera and also the customer service contact Judy.
Very good product quality
The motion detection is very good along with quality and night vision, overall this is a fantastic product and I use it on the daily.Thank you.
Pefect for what I need.
Had a few connection issues to start with but soon sorted itself (not sure if it was my internet?). Great communication with staff to try and sort issue. Perfect for keeping a eye on my puppy.
Brilliant bit of ki
I bought the camera so that we could keep an eye on our puppy.
It was easy to set up. The quality of the feed and night vision is excellent.
The controls via my phone are simple to use.
I’m very pleased with my purchase.
Good quality camera
Good quality camera, easy to set up and keep an eye on my pet when not at home. Can easily move it about to view different sides of the room.
Great display and night visio
Wasn’t really expecting too much with the price but this camera is actually fab! Really clear night vision and easy to move around to check the whole room. The installation is easy and quick and definitely recommend
I have bought tens of this type of pan tilt IP cameras over the years, unfortunately most of them breaking down within a year or so, or worse, the manufacturer changing the software, so that despite the cameras having an SD memory card slot and the ability to record, some manufacturers like “Yilot” made it so that you cannot access or made it difficult to access your recordings, forcing you buy their “cloud” package, so that you pay every month to view your recordings, making the money you spent on the SD card a total waste as well!
I’m hoping this doesn’t happen with this camera as well, because so far, it has exceeded my expectations completely. For the price, this Wansview camera has an excellent 2K picture, clear and sharp, both in daylight and night modes. It’s IR night mode is is bright and clearer than most other similar cams and the software has all the usual features for moving and controlling the camera. It has 2 nice features that I’m impressed with, the first is a position setting, where you can set your camera in your favourite position and save it. You can then move the camera instantly to that position just by clicking on the link you created! You can create several links for several positions and there’s even a screencap to make it easy to remember. The second feature that I like is the “replay” feature which is available when you use their cloud service (I am trying out their 30 day free tial!), you can instantly replay a live feed directly from the cloud service, something that might actually compel me to register for the cloud service after the trial!
All in all, it’s a great camera for the price, with all the added features and 2K image quality, well worth every penny! Time will tell how long the camera will last, but as of now, it feels and looks like it was well made with pride and I’m hoping it will last a lot longer than most others I bought for a similar price!
Excellent quality
Bought one for the living room to watch my dog when I’m at work a few months ago, so impressed with how clear the images are that I bought another one for the dining room.
Great bit of kit.
Used these for several years now, simple, straightforward, no rip off subscription (if you want to it’s your choice).
My only grumble 28.99 on Tuesday, order 2 new one old ones in purfect condition but picture crystal clear on thenew 2K, but today Friday 23.99!!!!
Not happy Amazon.
Great little camera
Quick delivery, easy to set up. I use this one to check on my dogs. I have 4 wansview cameras. 2 outside and 2 indoor, not had any problems with any of them. Great camera, great price.
Brilliant!!
This is an amazing piece of kit for the price! The picture resolution is excellent. It’s extremely easy to set up and use. It’s got a siren on it so that if someone does get into your house, the alert lets you know and you can turn the siren off and even talk to the intruders.
I can’t praise it enough
Nice and useful
It’s easy to use, but it when want to watch a life video with sound, it makes some strange noice, echo, may be confusing, wish it didn’t have that strange noice
Great little camera for the price.
Bought this after reading other reviews. Very easy to set up, camera will talk to you during the process. A little bit complicated getting the app to recognise the micro sd card once inserted but got there in the end. Picture quality is very good for such a cheap camera. May buy a second one.
Wansview Q5 camera
I’ve had this camera for a few weeks and find it a good camera. The Pan/Tilt/Zoom is very useful. The one thing I would like to see improved is the PC app, I find it too basic and lacking the functionality of the Android mobile app. All in all a good camera.
Good
Good product.
Unable to zoom in out though
Good resolution
Sound quality is low. Doesnt go up when you speak in mic over the app
Difficulty in sharing on multiple devices so just logged in from my own id n two devices
Overall its good
Piece of mind with Wansview.
This camera is amazing for the price, giving you 2k video which looks lovely and crisp, ,whilst at the same time, allows you to see almost 360 of the surrounding environment.
Unbeatable price for a camera that offers so many great features, especially in our current financial crisis. The camera is totally controllable by your mobile phone or tablet, which gives you piece of mind when you are away from your home.
The camera comes with a mount, which makes it very easy to place it anywhere in your home. This camera is brilliant, it would be silly to overlook this Wansview product (to note,I have 4 cameras set up in and around my home).
Good value
Great value for money, arrived next day of ordering and set up within minutes. I had initially bought another camera from a different supplier that took 10 days to deliver and was useless so took a punt on this one and I think it’s great. Night vision is very good, pic quality in general is good.
Found there is a slight delay when using the mic and toggling the view when I’m out but it’s ok.
Overall at this price I think it’s a good unit and would buy again.
Amazing camera and helpful suppo
I’ve had this camera for a couple of years and I’m thinking of getting another one as it is so good. I’m able to check on my pets when I am on holiday. I recently changed Broadband and couldnt reconnect the camera but a quick email to the support staff quickly resolved my issue. They were very helpful. It is also so easy to us the app. I would highly recommend this camera.
Unbelievable.
I didn’t expect these to be great quality given the price but it is absolutely spot on. Hopefully they won’t break after a few weeks but these are all you’d ever need. I have one in every room. Dogs get a bit confused when I say something through them whilst at work. One of them is so clever that she knows I’m not really here and ignores whatever I’m saying The other one is less clever though and listens
Excellent picture quality - even at nigh
I use this to monitor our cats coming in and out of the house when we are away. It is easy to set up. I don’t pay any monthly charges. It is easy to see my cats in the house via the app, even with no lights on. I can turn the camera remotely and even listen / talk if I wanted to.
I’d definitely buy this again.
Value for the money
I installed this cam and I can recommend this easily.
Me & Mrs are trying to use App simultaneously but its not letting us.
Cam quality is good.
Night vision still I am trying to find how it will work. Its all black & white light where we can not see anything but light.
Easy to set up good quality picture
Excellent picture quality, easy set up does exactly what I want it to do. Covers inside of my Motorhome so I can check on it from anywhere as long as my Motorhome internet is on.
Fantastic little camera
Great little camera for the price! The pictures are super clear and the alerts are spot on! I have already talked family and friends into get one.
Good camera for the price
brought this camera to monitor my puppy while im at work.
pros: video quality is really good, night vision also good, handy to be able to talk through it.
cons: theres a 2/3 second delay, screen goes white occasionally for 2/3 seconds, the app crashes once or twice a day if your using it for long periods.
Paying only 22. for it, im very happy and it does what i need it to. i didnt use the motion detect so i cant comment on this but all round good camera
Excellent value excellent picture
I have purchased 4 of these cameras and using them for my home Security, connecting the cameras to the Internet takes less than a couple of minutes for each camera and Picture quality is excellent, You can set each camera individually to let you know once the camera detects movement giving you a warning on your mobile phone tablet or computer where ever you have an Internet connection, each camera comes with a very sturdy adjustable bracket for wall mounting, and when you’re all set up you have the option of connecting to the cloud or getting an sd card, so you have controllable camera with excellent picture quality simple to setup I don’t think you could ask for much more at that price.
Works as it should
Very happy with the camera. Quality of the picture is great works as its supposed to . I really enjoy the motion detection notifications and the siren/alarm if i need to activate it.
For the price i would recommend it.
Good little camera
I bought this not expecting it to be as good as it is.
It was very easy to set up,the motion detection is about right when set midway in the settings.
The picture on your phone is good enough, so if you had an intruder you could give it to the police.
The app works well and I can check on my house when I’m out and get alerts when it detects motion.
I’m so impressed I’ve ordered another one to look after upstairs when I’m away.
I ordered this camera to install in my porch to capture visitors to the front door and it’s working well. The camera has good pan/tilt/zoom abilities along with an okay microphone.
A requirement for me was that this supported RTSP so I could connect it to my existing NVR system and this works perfectly well. There’s two RTSP streams available, low resolution and full. The camera has no problems serving both at the same time. It also is able to be mounted upside down and flip the image.
I initially had a question regarding setup and contacted the customer support, who got back to me promptly and gave me the information I needed.
I’ve only had it a couple of weeks but it seems reliable so far.
Not bad indoor camera
Not a bad indoor camera, good for short distances. Night vision works well in the room.
Night vision needs to be switched off when viewing through a window as the reflection from the window interferes.
The motion detector is triggered by light or shadows egz. from passing cars illuminating the objects under observation.
Good camera
Easy once set up to use through the app. 4 users can access the app so great for multiple family members. We use it for checking on our pet. When working.
Set up wasn’t easy has had to change WiFi settings to use but contacted support and help provided.
Speaker could do with being louder but hardly use.
Fantastic cameras
We have three Wansview cameras, two outdoor and one indoor which we use to monitor our son who has epilepsy. We have used these cameras coming up to two years now & we have found the customer service especially amazing. The cameras are fantastic and very reliable, our in door one has eased my mind when letting my son sleep and the outdoor ones have offered me a great sense of home security.
I’ve had my security camera for a couple of days.
The setup was easy – just a few illustrated images in the instruction manual.
The USB cable and power plug that came with the camera was long enough to reach from the floor to the ceiling! The camera is light enough that mounting it on plaster board or other fragile walls isn’t a worry.
The camera can be paned and tilted via the app using a little 4 way arrow controller. Movement is smooth and quick. A full rotation around takes just 3 seconds.
What really stood out to me was the night vision mode – the black and white images produced in total darkness by an invisible IR LED (940nm) (not the red glowing 800nm kind!) is clear, bright and totally not grainy. This is great for seeing details in a dark room. The IR illuminator can be turned off (via the app) so you can point the camera through glass to see outside without bright reflections making the video too bright to see. You need an IR light outside of course!
The camera supports two way audio – to the camera, and from the camera which is nice.
A “USB A extension cable” can be easily bought anywhere online that sells USB cables, to increase the included power cables length on the off-chance you need extra length.
The basic web service is free – which means you can view the camera, and control it anywhere in the world if your phone has internet access at the time. The extra features are to store video and images, and alters in “the cloud” which is extra.
The camera comes with a little mount screw and hinge with screws for the wall, and can even be screwed into a small tripod if you already have one, or simply stood on a book case.
In a pinch you CAN power the camera using a USB power-bank for a completely mobile security solution which will run for a day or two on an average sized power bank before it needs recharging.
The app supports up to 4 cameras in a little menu that shows them 2×2 on the screen, and each can be zoomed in to see their details.
I had an issue where the power failed and the camera didn’t reconnect to my WiFi.
I contacted Customer Services in the UK (from the manufacturers website) and just overnight I got some instructions for tweaking my camera settings which worked first time. They were fast, and very helpful. I know if I have any questions in the future support won’t leave them unanswered.
To sum up – It’s a great camera – and especially for the price! I’m going to buy a couple more for other rooms.
Great indoor camera
I’ve only had it for just under a week, but so far it has been excellent. Video quality is great and being able to pan and tilt from the app works perfectly. It supports RTSP and ONVIF so can be recorded on a local computer. Fantastic value.
Be aware that it can be a bit fussy about WiFi – I found the nearest access point it was connected to was delaying or dropping packets stopping the camera working. A replacement WAP sorted the problem.
I bought these cameras for monitoring my elderly mother who has dementia, and they have enabled her to continue to live independently. The cameras are virtually silent in operation, which means my mother doesn’t hear them, and choosing black means she doesn’t see them rotate either. They have a very wide range of vision, with good resolution, although better resolution would give greater clarity when zooming in. My favourite feature is the alerts, and I have set these so that I get a smartphone notification whenever my mother enters the kitchen so that I can provide additional support. I do get some false alerts (usually triggered by car headlights) but it’s a small price to pay for her safety. It’s also useful being able to speak to my mother through the camera when she’s struggling, although it takes a little while to get used to toggling the microphone, as we have to take it in turns to speak. Fortunately, my mother doesn’t have to do anything with the camera or microphone herself.
The night vision is excellent, and I have clear visibility of my mother at night, so can see if she has any falls. I can also see the cooker controls in the kitchen, when it’s in total darkness, so can be reassured that everything has been switched off after use.
Set up was relatively easy but it’s helpful to have a bit of technical knowledge as the cameras must be paired with broadband in the property. After downloading the Wansview app to a smartphone, and following the instructions, the cameras talk you through the process (which is a bit alarming when you’re not expecting them to speak!). I’ve configured the app to show four rooms simultaneously in a ‘quad view’ but can easily switch to single rooms. I’ve also linked Wansview to my Alexa Echo Show devices so I can view my mother when I’m watching TV or using the phone or computer. There is a delay when viewing through Alexa devices, and it’s not possible to communicate through them, but they do serve a useful purpose by increasing the duration of monitoring.
It’s possible to give other people access to individual camera feeds, so I’ve been able to share the monitoring with my sister, which has been a great help. I’ve also just spent a week in Austria and it’s incredible that I could hear the app alerts on the ski slopes and continue to check in, and communicate with my mother, despite the absence of Wi Fi.
I’ve had the cameras for over 12 months now, and had a few technical issues, however the customer support has been excellent. I first got in touch with the support team when I discovered it wasn’t possible to orientate the quad view on an iPad. They got their technical team onto it, and issued a software update, so that is now possible. I’ve also had occasional issues when the cameras have lost connection with the server, or when I haven’t been able to view one or more cameras on the Alexa Echo Show. However, the customer support team guided me through the process each time, and the issues are now resolved.
The cameras are very cost-effective and don’t require a cloud subscription if an optional SD card is used (only needed to record 10 second motion detection). In terms of future developments, it would be great if the cameras were able to follow movement around the room, maintain more consistent connection with server, and zoom in with better resolution.
I’ve had this for a while & while not using as intended (should be used indoors watching baby/pet but having it inside looking out of a window to street) it does seem to do a decent job even @ night when I cant use the IR since this reflects off the Window (lucky I have street light outside) – FYI NOT signed up to Subscription so relying on SD card recordings only
Have had a few problems over time mainly with SD card recordings
1) a couple of times no SD recording occurred for a 24hrs period & no amount of ‘fixing’ cured it – but leaving the camera alone until following day & it seems to fix itself & start recording normally
2) Sometimes it just doesn’t record to SD card at all at random times.. I’m guessing because card is full even though I’ve set to ‘over right older recording’ – I usually have to take card out, back up videos & then reformat (I use ‘genuine’ Samsung 128Gb Speed 10 SD card) not sure why it stops recording to card for no apparent reason
3) I find forcing it to use B/W at night give a clearer picture HOWEVER in App the Timeline Preview show an inverted screen mainly all white with bit of grey BUT on Video playback in App – the video is just fine. Have contacted Wanviews about this ‘bug’ but so far nothing been done (see picture)
4) The ‘Motion Detection window’ is rectangular & adjusted by edges however my camera placement is slightly ‘angular’ (looking down street’, so movement detects areas of ‘heavy traffic’ (cars passing) so get a lot of ‘useless’ video. Would be nice if the detection window could be adjusted using corners & can get more ‘rhombus’ or triangular shaped detections windows so it can only pick up on pavement for example
Great produc
I use this for my dog when I’m at work. It works great, links straight to your phone from the Wi-Fi at home. Night vision works, audio is great and you can talk through it too
Clear HD camera with a great app to keep house protected
I really like the very clear quality on the camera in both night vision and normal vision. I also really like that when the motion detection turns on, it records a few seconds for you to see what triggered it!
Great service
Had a slight technical issue but received assistance super quick. Great customer service & happy with the product.
Brilliant little piece of kit.
Excellent picture quality, brilliant Night vision. Well worth the money.
Great value
We bought this to check up on the dog while at work. It’s very clear image and I like that we can move the camera around to see where exactly the dog is. Excellent value for money
Great camera
I was still using the old Foscam and Tenvis IP cam. I wanted to test the Wansview as the price was good. I am happy with it, easy and quick setup, audio, video, and recording is amazing. I bought three and am happy with i
The price of the camera is excellent, the video quality is excellent and furthermore, support for ONVIF means that I can access PTZ controls via 3rd party clients (such as Onvier, Tinycam). Unfortunately Netcamstudio and BlueIris had issues with PTZ control via ONVIF but since ONVIF is not an industry standard, this is understandable.
What I do take issue with, and this is a very big issue, is that there is no setting to control the level of darkness in which the IR lights are activated. This is highly annoying and at night time, in a well lit room, the camera repeatedly clicks due to the IR lights being activated and deactivated. It stands to reason that the threshold for level of darkness in which IR lights are activated are set too high and without the ability to control this (except for switching off IR from within the app), the click is so annoying that I am considering returning the product for a refund. It’s a shame because there is very little to fault with other aspects.
Wansview were unable to provide any assistance regarding adjusting the level of sensitivity of triggering IR on/off, not even API documentation which could allow me to control this.
Pleasantly surprised by the features and quality
I’m quite impressed with the cam with this price tag. It has all the features I need. The only thing that can be improved is the range of motion, I wish it can go further down.
Excellent produc
Really happy with this product excellent image day and nigh
Excellent camera
Excellent camera, Easy to set up
Very happy with the quality of the produc
Love i
Very easy to set up picture quality is amazing
I’m using it to keep an eye on my dogs and it’s great you can talk to them and they liste
Great camera
Bought for watching our dog while we are at work. It’s brillia
it’s just brillia
It is my first camera I bought, and I got it to see how my cat is doing when I’m not around. And I must say I am so very happy with it over all, picture quality and motion and all together it’s beyond my expectation. I don’t pay for the extend app as I don’t think I need it, maybe something I do in the future.
Very Good Camera
Easy to set up, Very good Quality. I’m recommend this
Great Produc
Great camera. Bought to keep an eye on our new puppy. Has been fantastic for toilet training. Works and does what it says. Defintely up there in great investments for all it costs. Defintely recommend
Great little camera
Great camera, clear night vision, the only negative is the video recordings are a little too short, unless you subscribe.
Just what I needed - live streaming
I needed a camera to live screen my kids in bed when I am out of earshot and quick reach. Works perfectly, no subscription needed. Very happy.
Great purchase
I use this as a cat cam at home so I know when they are returning home. The motion sensor is great, and I get alerts each time. It’s easy to set up and the app is easy to use too!
The night vision is great for indoors, although if my cats are outside at night it can be hard to see them. That said, the camera does exactly what I need it too.
A camera with all the desired features
I am so glad I ordered this camera. An excellent way to keep an eye on my baby while she sleeps peacefully. The best part is the motion detection feature. I don’t have to keep the app open all the time and as soon as my baby moves or makes a sound in the room I get motion alert message. It is the best camera when it comes to night vision , picture quality and other desired features.
Remote visibility at a good price
I bought seven of these because we have a fire alarm system that has occasionally faulted whilst we are away and I wanted to avoid unnecessary call outs by the fire brigade.
It also means that I can tune in to see what the “adult” kids are up to whilst the cats away!! Really enjoying the comfort they provide.
Could easily double up as a cheap intruder alarm if needed.
Good price, great functionality on the app and excellent customer service
I have two of these units and they have been excellent. I have had a couple of small issues over the last 2 years, but a quick email to the helpline, gets you a detailed response and resolution in hours. Thanks to Sophia for your recent help. Highly recommended
Great priced camera & great support from team.
I’ve had this camera less than a year and unfortunately it broke . Prior to that it was working amazingly . The sellers quickly dealt with the issue and I now have a new one . It’s really clear picture and allows me to check everything is ok at home. I would just say the night vision isn’t great .
Does what it says
Bought this as I have recently rescued a dog and wanted to know she’s okay when I have to leave her just to go grocery shopping etc. It’s great that I can talk to her and also if she’s stressed I can calm her down. It’s not often I leave her but there’s certain places I can’t take her into and I wouldn’t want to leave her in the car so this camera has solved my problems and worries
Great camera
This baby camera us fantastic. Simple to set up, great picture and sound quality.
Pet monitoring
I used this to monitor my rabbits when out and it was grea
Great product, useful
I bought this camera for monitoring the baby. I used for couple of months and suddenly was offline and couldn’t connect to the Wi-fi. Then I contacted by email the Wansview team, Judy was supporting me with indications and even video how to connect back to the Wi-fi but without results, it was a technical problem. Because it was still under warranty, I received a replacement next day. They are responding quick and are very helpful. I onestly recommend the product, the quality of the image is FHD, is not blocking like others.
Great produc
This is a great addition to our home , allows us to know our guy is okay while we pop out which has helped us both with anxiety wondering if he was okay while allowing us abit more freedom .
Cant recommend this enough . This company has offered great customer service and Irecommend their products
Very good
Got this camera delivered very quickly. I had some issues getting this working since the camera wouldn’t connect to wifi. throgh speaking with the support team, we managed to get this working once it was connect to mobile data. Issue was the camera firmware and once updated it connected with no issues to wifi 🙂
Works Perfectly for Pet watch
Bought this Camera to keep an eye on our Dog, does exactly what we needed and more.
Couldn’t be happier with this product.
Excelle
Easy to set up, easy to use very good picture all round very good
Brilliant!
Really good quality camera, the pictures are clear day and night. The camera is easy to set up and the app is very easy to use.
The only thing I would say is the motion detection isn’t amazing. You can change the levels of sensitivity on the app but even when it’s on really low I find I get motion detection alerts/notifications on my phone every couple of minutes when the cameras plugged in.
Great little camera
I was looking for something to replace my clever dog camera. This works really well and is much more adjustable – I’ve actually got it mounted sideways at the top of my back door. Very happy with the quality of the view in the app, I’m actually looking to get one for my parents.
Great customer service
Had some problems with the product and the customer service sorted it out quick. Recommend.
Brilliant wee camera
We got this for our puppy to keep an eye on him overnight or when we go out and it has totally surpassed my expectations. The picture quality is very good and the night vision is great. For the price I didn’t expect it to be anything like as good as it is. Also works well away from home accessing the app and we even used it abroad to check in and watch him! Have recommended to many friends now.
Great Produc
I Already have a static Wansview IP camera covering the rear of my home and decided to add a second camera to monitor the front. Set up was simple. It’s a pity that products like these will not set up on 5ghz network so after disabling the 5ghz network on my eero mesh I had the camera up and running in no more than 10 minutes. Alexa had a problem linking this camera so I disabled the skill and then re enabled the skill and I’m pleased to say both my existing camera and this one were identified with no problems.
I’m not to fussed about motion detection. Picture quality is good and there’s no lag between using the app and viewing images. I do however have a very good mesh system that ensures excellent connectivity.
In summary well worth the money.
Good value for money and image quality.
Use out the window to keep an eye on car. Impressed with the image quality and ability to rotate it from my phone – loads of fun! Need separate accounts and sharing to view on multiple android devices (all free), not needed for pc version. When using with VLC, accessing via the Wansview app cut off the feeds and caused it to go down for a min, using with only 3rd party or Wansview is fine, plus the latter allows camera rotation. Good website with software downloads and guides. Happy with my purchase.
We bought the camera following glowing recommendation from a friend. We use it to keep tabs on our Newfoundland puppy who sleeps in the kitchen which the camera adequately and clearly covers.
Having had many months of trouble free use, last weekend it went offline and I could not reconnect it.
Being a 69 year old technophobe I dread problems such as this. I contacted Wansview by email and was assisted brilliantly by Judy there. Her responses were quick, clear and patient and her efforts enabled me to sort the problem out. Support such as this is refreshing and I won’t hesitate to recommend Wansview cameras to anyone who asks me about them. Keep up the good work Judy and Wansview.
Better than I expected!
I am totally impressed with this camera. It was very easy to set up and install. The picture from the camera on my phone is clear and there’s only a slight delay on the video feed. I have used the microphone and can be heard clearly. The features all work as they should and I have yet to find any flaws. Thank you from a very happy customer.
Perfect for the elusive pe
We purchased this camera before a holiday in Australia (from the UK) in the hope of keeping in contact with our pet. Needless to say, the night vision feature was tested thoroughly, as was the audio link. Both performed above and beyond our expectations. Setting up the camera was also easy. We would certainly recommend this camera and will be buying more in the future (to cover the numerous hiding places around the house).
Can be slow to position the camera based on network availability
I use my camera to keep an eye on my bunny in the day when I’m working and night. The picture quality can be changed and very hight quality. The only downside which not all customers may face are when you are in an area of slow WiFi and data oy takes a while to position the camera
Excellent produc
I Needed to be able to see elderly parents front and back doors. These cameras are excellent, picture quality is amazing even on night vision. Gives notifications when movement at doors. Like the fact that you can adjust them from the app. Mum knocked the front camera, I was able to put it back onto the front door without driving an hour to do it manually. I have the option to speak through them to see if mum is ok and there is an alarm you can press if you need too, all via the app.
Great little camera
I bought this camera in order to spy on my cat when I’m not home. As suspected, he sleeps A LOT!
I haven’t used motion detect or record as they’re not what I want. I found setting up for just viewing my home when I’m not there really easy and simple.
On night vision the screen goes blank from time to time but I don’t find that a problem – it’s only a little blip and then the image is back again.
For the price, it’s good quality and works well.
Very positive
Had a problem trying to connect one of my cameras,contacted customer services got Judy who was extremely helpful and after 2 or 3 emails of helpful information I got it back on line
Great camera
This is a great camera at a very reasonable price but unfortunately it developed a fault after 14 months and would not connect to the wifi despite all of the efforts of Judy at Wansview. I am extremely grateful for all she did in trying to resolve the issue which resulted in the camera being replaced thanks to he
Canera Only lasted 9 Months but replaced
Good camera until the WI-FI started dropping out after one year, losses WI-FI after 4 hours of being on you can resets by powering off and on but only lasts short time so now useless.
wanview contacted me about WIFI issue and replaced the camera with new, Thank you Wanview
EDIT – After my comments below were reviewed by the supplier, they contacted me and tried to resolve the issue. In the end they supplied a replacement camera. I must say the customer service was excellent, best I have ever experienced. Specifically a lady named Becky who was brilliant in her efforts to resolve. .Used it to keep an eye on the dogs. Every time I move the camera by the console it disconnects and needs fully re adding. No function option for the sd card any more. Just not appearing in the settings. Second one of these. First one lasted two years. Second a year. Garbage.
Best produc
Camera clarity very good,can install easily,best costumer services.quick resolves the queries.highly recommend.
Is good for the value of money
It works,no problems so far,no issues with conectivity,i think is worth the money for what it is.
Great produc
I wouldn’t be without this now. So useful for checking in on my puppy during the day and night!
Great to watch the dogs while I'm out and to talk to them too.
Simple to set up and operate. I was so happy to see the dogs sleeping peacefully while I was out.
