Good clear picture quality. Easy set up. Very good price for this quality security camera
Well impressed with this if I ever need more I will be back
Dead easy to install and use.
Very neat, very clever.
1s I got it to connect to the Internet it works grea
Couldn’t be more satisfied. Excellent product and by far the best customer service team! Quickly at responding to emails and very polite. I highly recommend!
These cameras are just amazing put a sd card in and it records I can watch it on my phone anywhere also you can move the camera, talk and sound alarm extremely good value for money
Incredible value for money the cameras record with perfect clarity and sound as well already caught a person trying to enter our property and footage given to police leading to a charge would not have had this success without my new cameras so a big thank you for this purchase Wansview I would recommend these cameras to all easy fitting easy set up all done within an hour or less including fittings to outside walls
I dont normally post reviews, but this camera has a really good quality picture, and I was surprised to see a review saying that it didnt connect to home assistant.
It does, but I needed to change the RTSP port to 554 from 1554, and also change the user name and password from the defaults set by the program. I used ‘generic camera’ integration in HA, and disabled ‘SSL verify’ and didnt select a transport protocol for my setup in HA.
For the price, I thought it was a really good buy for a RTSP device…
Brilliant camera for the money. Easy to link to the wi-fi and to your phone for viewing. Clear colour picture. Love the motion you can control from the phone as well. Nice extra security camera for the price
Had a problem with the 1st ones I ordered so had to return, but the next ones worked perfectly! Excellent quality and so easy to do !
For the price this camera is excellent.Plenty of good features and
very easy to set up. I did contact the seller with a small query and
their response was very quick and helpful. Would certainly recommend.
Like the camera but Wansview site for playback is hit and miss
Arrived quickly. Packaged well
Instructions were easy to follow
Set up was quick and easy.
Picture quality is very good and nighttime colour is excellent. Great features and functional app. Very good value for money.
It would be nice to have would be an option with a longer cable. But the one that came with camera is ok.
I used this product for home security. Easy to setup didn’t need to be 3 feet away from WiFi box.
The reason I put 4 star’s is because when I setup the camera the picture was nice and crisp then after about 10 minutes later picture was a little bit fuzzy. Does what it says on the box you can even keep the best position so you can push 1 or 2 buttons and the camera returns to set position.
Good valve for money, great picture quality day or night, easy to set up, definitely happy with purchase, the downside is the motion detection isn’t that great, rain triggers i
To view on the PC like I have shown in this image you need an Android emulate, I use the free BluStacks Player, which is excellent, you need to switch on virtualization in your PC BIOS to get full speed.
The camera sensitivity is a bit too high and motion detection will constantly switch the light on and off when there is something like a breach wobbling in the wind.
Any concerns above are minor when considering the price which is extraordinarily low for the quality you get.
I’ve had these cameras about a month and they have withstood some pretty atrocious weather. I will update this review should they fail in the future.
I have had this camera mounted outdoors in all weathers for 6 months now and it hasn’t missed a beat! Even during the heatwave and the rains lately it just keeps working. The quality of image is excellent and it is easy to control with the Wansview Cloud app. I have motion detection enabled and it’s fascinating to see foxes, badgers and squirrels scurrying around at night! It will also capture burglars but luckily I haven’t had any! All in all this camera does exactly what it says it will and at a very reasonable price considering the quality and features. Highly recommended
Pleased with purchase, it gave us the ability to check our garden and move across from one aspect to another.
The select position option allows easy and direct transition from one area to another.
Picture quality is good, even in the dark, yet diminishes as the level of zoom increases.
In all, this is a great camera for the money, it is easy to set up, and the app offers a variety of settings and functions.
Perfect. Easy to install and set up, brilliant picture quality, range is superb. Notifications are timely. App is easy to use. The siren and light are extremely useful. All round great value for money. You will need an sd card for longer than 30 secs recording after motion detector is activated.
Very easy to setup bought for our garden in our new house for security. Works well and very clear pictures day or night. Only down side wish it would only pick up people even a fly sets it off.
The camera has good picture quality , easy to set up in the app ,and importantly connected to my phone every time ,when I’m away form home ,The app is easy to use save video ect,I like the ability to pan the camera in live view, definitely recommend.
Purchased two these for my property at a fraction of the price of having them installed by a company so easy to install and set up . The picture quality is brilliant day and night with the option of slightest motion detection which can be changed if needed . Can also rotate cameras just by using the app on your phone an also they have alarm siren if needed an two way speaker. These are that good I purchased more for my family members
Camera works ok for now there is a bit of a lag and quality is perfect. I would rate it much higher if they gave me one that wasn’t used and that was new. Edit: been offered a partial refund which is fair given its used condition. Good customer service
Good quality easy to set up camera with fantastic WiFi range and image quality.its basic features are great like the motion light and siren, picture quality is also very good. It does however require a subscription for its best features like intelligent tracking and the ability to change motion area. Great seller, will help with any queries. Is it Worth buying at the price with the features it has…I’d say yes
I have had this camera for a few weeks now. Setup was easy and quick. It is powered by usb cable. About 2.5m cable is provided but you really need a longer cable unless you have a power socket close by. I had to buy a long USB extension cable and drill hole through the wall to connect it to usb plug inside. The App has room for improvement though. It has quite a sensitive motion and sound detection but is missing Auto-tracking. The seller contacted me for a review so here we are. Since I bought it the price has increased so won’t purchase another one just yet.
Easy to connect up to WiFi and simple to fit. It does need a socket nearby to power it.
The app works ok, I haven’t bothered with any online storage or a memory card as it seems to store clips for a week.
Picture is fairly good with a decent zoom too. Night vision is ok as well
Good purchase for the price
After looking at a lot of cameras I chose this 1 and I’m so pleased I did. The picture quality is amazing along with the motion detection. There’s even a siren button to press should you see any intruders on your property. Also there’s a feature to chose your favourite position of the camera. I have nothing negative to say about this camera. I loved it so much I bought another 1 for the front of my house. I can’t recommend it enough. I have peace of mind when I go away now.
It is not as good as a professionally installed CCTV system but, at a fraction of the price, it is a good substitute. From the security point of view, it will obviously stop working in a power cut or wi-fi failure.
After installing the app I simply followed the instructions given (some on the app and some spoken on the camera). It couldn’t be easier. I then connected it to Alexa so I can view the camera from my Echo devices. All very easy.
It can be tilted and panned to from the app to get a view of exactly the area that you want to monitor. The motion detection works well but there are several false alarms by insects passing the camera (close up the camera must see a moth as the size of a distant human). There are less false alarms with the detection set to a smaller area.
At first I thought the memory card was not working, but it must have to record a bit before shows up in the app. I have it continuously recording and it fits around 2 weeks on a 128GB card. The camera resolution gives a great picture, even on a big screen, and the night vision is also clear.
I did have a problem with the camera after a few months but Judy in customer services sorted it quickly.
Got the camera and set it up find after fitting it to the wall witch as early anoth. The camer was slow and ahs a delay. Found out it was the wifi single was to week and in need a buster. After a got one of the the camer works grate and I am getting 2 more for me and my mum has asked me to get some how her as well.
Been looking at various camera’s for a while to cover the front of my property. Didn’t want to pay a fortune, and came across this. Being a ptz for the price made me question how good it would be but I cannot fault it. The daytime picture is clear, and the audio is good. The build seems solid, and plugging straight into a socket was so much more convenient. Night-time the picture isnt as good but i can’t take advantage of the built in lights as I have a streetlight outside my house, thought they are very bright. The siren works well and the 2 way audio is quality. I had some connections issues but got great help from Judy at wansview technical support, and had it working in no time. I’ve recommended this to a few people who want a decent camera without paying a fortune.
I Had a issue with the camera not updating the software and emailed their support team, Judy answered and was quick to help, took me through the troubleshoot system that didn t work so they sent me a new camera. Everything works fine and the camera is very good quality. 5/5
It’s is the easiest camera I’ve ever installed, connecting to the Wi-Fi on the first try it’s a must have to protect your family, home or business as I fully intend buying more for my new shop.
The video quality is brilliant , the cam cam be controlled by phone rotate and chose several recorde positions. For the price is very good
The only low point is the cloud price is salted for my opinion but the cam works fine with SD card so you can ignore the cloud.
After my first camera had a fault got in touch and a lovely lady called Sophia kept in touch and helped me out .could not sort it so at their expense sent me a new camera which is great,their aftersales is Brilliant and would highly recommend.
Camera arrived very quickly and well packaged.
Very easy to fit up
Easy to set up only problem I had was the camera wouldn’t do the QR code from my phone, but on top of the camera is another link that worked straight away
Really pleased with the quality of the picture day and night, but after about 10 metres facial recognition starts getting a bit grainy.
Had to turn the motion sensor down to the minimum as my long leaved plants kept setting it off and alerting me.
Overall very pleased with these considering the cost which is excellent for the quality.
Only negative is once triggered it doesn’t tape for long, but this may change once SD card is fitted.
Had contact with the company as wanted to know what side SD card they recommend and they got straight back.
They also contacted me because they saw I tried to activate the warranty and couldn’t, so they sorted it and informed me it had been sorted – great customer service
Recieved a faulty camera ,got in touch with wansview and the had a very good response from Judy who is sending me a new replacement within the next couple of days ,she was polite and very efficient. Let’s hope the replacement works as it should . I have recieved the replacement camera and it work perfect, excellent after sales service Judy did a very good job resolving my problem.
Now fixed. Firmware got updated from galayou from email then downloaded to SD card then put it in the camera. Simply 5 minutes fix. Galayou were fantastic
Bought the galayou 2k security camera on 22nd July 2022 and its broke already 4 weeks l8r. Everything was brilliant and great then I couldn’t access it on the app went to check it and its fixed on a red led instead of red/blue flashing. Tried resetting but nothing works. Even with powering off and on the camera doesn’t move or make a noise now
I have a few cameras from this brand and they’ve definitely improved with the features with this one.
It looks sturdy, great visual deterrent, easy to set up and does exactly what I need it to do.
I have mine set up at the front of the house, it alerts me when it detects motion saving a few days worth of this on the app/cloud. It also has memory card storage for longer access, 32GB is about a week’s worth at full quality. The light comes on at night (can turn off if you wish) good night vision also, you can hear through it’s mic and speak back through the app also. You can tilt it via the app if needed.
The set up was so easy, just make sure you have location enabled and on the 2.5ghz wifi for the first set up.
The customer service from Wansview is second to none. I had an issue with my first camera, the firmware didn’t update and it froze and they resolved it really quickly.
So far this is a very good value remote control camera. I’m still learning more about the camera settings but it seems to work well at this stage. The build quality is good and visual detail too. I found the microphone does pick up wind noise, so bear this mind when mounting in a position that may suffer from this continuously. I’ve yet to experience this feedback in poor weather condition, so time will tell. However make sure you find the best wifi signal you can when looking to install. That said it would have been handy to of had an option to wire in a LAN cable for those that can.
A
Everything you need is In the box ….. its easy to fix up and set up and use ….its fantastic
This camera is branded GALAYOU but comes from Wansview and uses the Wansview software, which is useful as I have other Wansview cameras.
Wansview’s software has improved over the years although there is still no separate web interface so making fine adjustments to the camera, such as Image adjustments, is not possible.
Setup was easy via the app, and I was also able to easily add the H4 to my existing Blue Iris PC-based monitoring system, as it is ONVIF and RTSP compatible. Blue Iris provides its own monitoring and recording in addition to the in-camera capabilities. You don’t need to use the Wansview paid for cloud service if you insert an SD card. You can access and view recordings on the SD card via the phone app and download them to the phone if needed.
Image quality is good, on a par with the other 1080p CCTV cameras that I have.
Build quality seems very good, and the camera looks elegant and modern. Unfortunately the power connector on the Y4 camera is Micro-USB which, as everyone knows, is a fragile and unreliable connector. At least it means that you can use any micro-USB cable and power adapter though, and you can also power the camera with a power bank battery. There is also a bracket provided to mount the camera to a wall or ceiling.
In summary, the H4 is a decent PTZ camera especially considering the competitive price.
Worth the money, decent video quality, decent camera. i recommend for those who don’t want to spend a lot 😉
In the box you get the camera with slide-in mount, micro-USB cable and mains USB supply, plus fittings, warning labels and instructions. You just need install the Wansview app, power up a camera and follow the simple instructions to pair it to your Wi-Fi.
Once paired you can power down and reposition the camera. It’s got good reception and works as good if not better than my phone in receiving a signal (although video quality is a bit jerky with poor connectivity).
The app lets you rename cameras, move them around, set favourite positions (so at a touch of a button you can move the camera from one view to another), set areas to trigger motion alerts or alarms, turn the spotlight on and off, have two-way conversations, etc.
The devices take micro-SD memory cards and will continuously overwrite when they are full. They take 10s clips without cloud subscription, generally 5s before the trigger and 5s after, which is good enough for most people. Just as well, as the subscription gets costly the more cameras you add.
Image quality is really very good. Night vision is very clear and I suggest you try not using the spotlight function as it gives colour images but isn’t as far reaching as the infra-red LEDs, and the switch-over causes a second of video to be washed out.
You can have four cameras of your choice showing at one time and set up lots of groups. You can change trigger areas, set schedules to set alerts to your phone, etc. Very impressive.
I have had a couple of instances where moths set of the alerts, but you can lower the sensitivity. You don’t need all cameras to alert, they are set individually.
Overall a really competent camera. Had one issue with one of my 10 and had a replacement within days without having to return the failed one. Excellent customer service too!
Really good day/night know house is safe with this as you can replay aswell .
I purchased this due to the special offer & I’m very pleased as every feature is a big upgrade on the previous model. Being able to obtain colour images at night & the pan & tilt feature makes it very easy to position. Hooking the camera up to my existing Wansview app was child’s play and the hard wiring power connection takes away all the baggage that came with the previous version.
Just one minor issue that also affected the camera before is the software glitch in full screen mode, on an iPad the image is upside down, this is a known glitch that they’re working on and is due to the IOS version. In shared and minimised mode the image is correctly displayed. As I say it’s a minor niggle and doesn’t detract from the use ability to any great extent.
Highly recommended and a steal at this price point.
Quality: both cameras are the same in terms of quality, both good.
Picture: there’s a slight colour difference with the G2K one being slightly more realistic, but I did not notice a massive difference between the 1080p Yi and the 2K Galayou.
Field of view: this is noticeable, the Yi is 110 degrees whereas the G2K is 90 degrees. Depending on what you’re capturing however this might not be an issue.
Alarm: never tested, never wanted alarm set off erratically annoying everyone.
Alexa: never tested, only works with Echo Show which I don’t have.
Motion detection and alerts: both work but the Yi video seems to record slightly earlier in that if a car drives passed, the Yi video shows the car whereas the G2K occasionally didn’t. Not the end of the world in this instance but worth noting. Both are also incredibly sensitive to being alerted by insects and waving branches etc so I’d suggest limiting the sensitivity to limit unnecessary triggers etc.
Features: the Yi is fixed whereas the G2K can be easily repositioned. This is great if you want to check other viewing areas occasionally. Such a shame the G2K didn’t have motion tracking as this would have been a fantastic addition.
Generally speaking, both cameras and their apps are good but if cost is an issue then the G2K is slightly cheaper for a similar quality item with the added bonus of being movable. I had a few issues which were quickly and expertly resolved by the Galayou support team. If I had to choose between the two cameras/manufacturers I’d probably go with the Galayou option.
Night vision very good
Picture quality superb
Motion detection brilliant
On the whole for the price good value for money
This item looked and felt good quality for such a low price. Camera is high quality and mic sound is a bit loud and tinny but does the job. There is an app for this to set up which takes seconds and the app looks amazing and easy to use with louds of functions for easy control of the actual camera. Unfortunately I had to reset it and put it in the box to return, this is due to it using a usb cable and plug to power it and must be continuously plugged in for the camera to work. This camera was for outdoor use in the back garden and powering it this way would be impossible or would cost.me a fortune for an electrician to rig up. I just wish it was hard wired to use outside effectively. I would highly recommend this item only con is the power outlet unless you have an external plug which you could plug it into which I imagine would bring its own problems. So needed an external camera to keep an eye on little one when he’s out playing. I’ll just keep looking
For the price this is a really good camera, great picture quality night and day.
Easy set up, will be buying a second one.
If your looking for a good wireless camrea this is for you easy set up took me less than 10 mins to set up and mount it great night vision light is good I would definitely recommend for cctv
was a little tricky to set up but i got great help from them and all was good. will be buying another one soo
It’s a good camera, the wire is quite long and it’s easy to install.
It was difficult at the start having to unattached it because it disconnected but once back o to the WiFi. Not had a problem since. The picture quality is good and you can speak to who ever comes to your door. The motion light works great and lights up a large area. Really recommend.
The camer is crystal clear in both day and night vision and it also has 4 super bright leds around the camera lens which illuminate via movement sensor it also has a loud alarm siren which can also be activated by movement. The unit takes a sod card or for ease I just subscribe to store my footage to the cloud so it there if I need it – I have it linked to my phone so I can talk to any delivery drivers also liked to Amazon Alexa so I can watch it on Alexa show or turn on the light via Alexa – the camera can pan and tilt also revolve almost 360
The only downside there is to it is moving the camera via the app takes a bit of time to master it tends to be a bit slow to react to you moving it so you tend to over shoot the angle you want but don’t let that put you off – amazing bit of kit 10 out 10 from me
Very easy to setup, app is easy to navigate. Would recommend to my family and friends
I am totally impressed with the quality of picture as I play it back the camera is absolutely amazing and so easy to set up, I would definitely recommend this item for home security.
Outstanding product had it connected in less than a minute easy use would recommend to to everyone A+
Good camera.
I managed to mount it on a circular box using two screws.
Not the best fit for the circular box (available elsewhere) might be worth considering how it attaches to the house as am not a fan of drilling holes into my house. That said the picture quality is good. If the pic quality is not good then simply check the cables for connection quality as mine just needed reseating.
This camera can be remotely controlled and has a security light on it too to track movement (motion detection)
If it had a better usb connection it would have been 5 stars. A better usb connectin would be one that is internal to the wall like their W5 camera. However this camera is better than the w5 due to its remote control swivel, wifi connection plus light.
So before buying this make sure you have a “junction box” strategy to deal with holes in the wall. They arent expensive.
Excellent product would recommend to buy who’s everything it says and very easy to fi
Haven’t used all the functions yet. However picture quality and 360 pan view is excellent. Set is was simple two minutes that’s it. Very good would recommend. I like the alarm function. Scare anyone mooching about at night.
I like the fact it supports the Wansview Cloud app out of the box, setup takes minutes to complete and is very easy.
The app allows you to setup various motion detection schedules, live view the camera, get motion notification and will automatically record a 10 second clip of any motion detected.
The camera its self is very good, it uses a silicone gasket to assist on sealing in the micro USB connector (the centre of the silicone flap has a centre section that pops out to reveal a small tight fitting opening for the cable connector to fit into).
The movement function works very well, it is a tad sensitive but after a few minutes you will get used to this.
The image is crisp and responsive, it doesn’t have any blur and the colour balance is good.
The light function works very well, it had 4 high power LED lights in the from of the camera, these provide sufficient light for an area roughly 10m square, the light can also be setup to automatically turn on when motion is detected.
The alarm function can be useful, the camera can automatically sound an alarm when motion is detected, or it can be manually turned on in the app, it isn’t the loudest of alarms, but would act as a deterrent if the camera was located well above easy access. The downside to this is it will draw attention to the cameras location so could make it a target.
This brings me onto the mounting mechanism, the camera slides onto a wall mountable plate and clips into position, although this makes installation fast and easy, it also means the camera could be easily knocked off with a long stick, again if it was well out of reach the chances of it being knocked off are slim as its lightly the persons in question wouldn’t be aware it can easily be knocked off.
overall I’m impressed, it isn’t perfect but for the price I cant really argue the quality and functionality, would I buy a 2nd? yes, is the Wansview app good? yes, I have 4 cameras setup on it and its worked great for 4 years now. if you looking for a cheap but very well thought out and reliable camera, this will certainly meet all the criteria you require.
Very good price and works very well will buy again for over side of house
Worked great straight out of the box, very simple to set up, works well on my existing Wansview app along with my other Wansview cameras.
The only negative for me is how it is mounted, it would need to be mounted out of reach
I think the video quality is really good , and the sound too ,
Clear instructions
Very easy to fit ,
App is user friendly,
Would definitely purchase again for the front of house next time
The camera was easy to set up, with clear instructions. I used the QR code method although I didn’t read the instructions slowly enough as (my mistake) I confused the power supply light, with the light on the front of the camera lens body and couldn’t work out why it wasn’t flashing intermittent red/blue! Once I’d re-read the instructions it took seconds to connect and get going.
The tilt and turn mechanism to move the lens has an excellent range and moves nice and smoothly controlled by the App and as far as I could see on my phone, the image from the camera was crisp with life like colours.
The App is easy to use and there are a variety of storage options from which to choose at what I think are reasonable annual fees.
Mounting the camera on a wall should prove easy. A template and screws and plugs are all provided and the mount easily separates form the camera body, securely clicking back into place to hold the camera secure.
The power cable is approx 180cm long, so may need extending, but the diameter of the smaller plug on the cable is 1cm so you won’t need to drill a massive hole in your wall to feed it through.
The camera looks well waterproofed and the design has been well thought through. For example the rubber bung protecting the power socket and light has a further bung in it the size of the plug, providing a snug fit to keep out water and insects.
Overall, this looks an impressive camera for the money. Nicely designed, easy to install and operate recording good quality images. Should things change once I have installed it and used it for a while, I will update my review, but for the time being I’m very happy with my purchase.
Picture quality reasonably good for general use but identification of unknown persons would not be very easy.
Works very well with the SD card and playback is straightforward.
No problem with WiFi signal from my Virginmedia hub 3 which is downstairs at rear of house and the camera is about 35ft away just under the eaves on the front.
Motion detection is a bit haphazard, particularly during the dark. False notifications occur even on the very low sensitivity settings. Reducing the area of detection has little effect.
Even so for such a relatively low price it can be recommended as an initial introduction to the subject to help in deciding if an expensive set up could be justified.
Its very presence would act as a deterrent to would be felons or mischief makers.
Fantastic easy to use has a alarm mode and flashing light you can speak to your intruders through it and you can move the camera to look around well worth it picture quality is fab and fits into my existing camera app Wansview
This camera is very easy to set-up and easy to use. The picture quality is perfect and night vision so clear it’s amazing. I am really happy with this purchase and would highly recommend this CCTV camera to anyone, I’ve already bought another for a friend, great bit of kit.
Placed on my shed to cover the garden, great picture night or day. cant believe how cheap cameras are now.
Have previously installed other units but have to admit this is the new generation. Crystal clear image with clear sound. For the price it’s a steal. First Class!
Build quality is good, image quality is very good and colour night vision works well, I also found that saving camera facing directions as favourites is very handy to quickly jump to a preferred view of your property, works well in the Wansview app and was very easy to set up and use.
This camera came good overall, easy to setup and get running. Still in the early days, but nothing spectacularly bad to say right now, just impressed. Will update later when ive used for a while
I have used Wansview cameras for a good number of years and have always been very happy with them
This new model is a massive upgrade.
The build quality is excellent the design is very well thought out.
In the app, there is even a diagnostic facility.
I do wish the font used in the instructions was larger and easier to read.
The quality of the camera is really good. Both day and night. I like how I can adjust where I want cover with the ability to move the camera from my phone. I like the new features as I had a older model. The light/siren are the new features and are really good to add extra protection. Very easy to install and set up. Well worth the money
Brilliant camera, has such good features for the money such as illuminated lamp with motion detection
Clear 2 way audio
Really clear camera and integrates with my other wansview cameras on the app giving me great security around the house
Really happy with this product!
Great to use on the corner of the house and use app to move camera position what you want to look at (it’s quick to move too with saved favourite positions). Includes light, speaker, siren, night vision and recording onto sd-card or (paid) cloud service. Good quality camera too.
This is a great camera for the money. The provided mounting template and separate bracket made it easy to get mounted. The picture is sharp and night vision clear; the included light also helps in the dark.
I have a few wifi cameras and of them all this is by far the most stable on the network so another plus.
Simply perfect, stunning quality picture day and night. Simple to set up and view within the app. The build quality far surpasses its price i mounted this on a piece of wood for quickness and ease to get it up and running and to play with. A nice feature on this is a light that you can turn on or off via the app or set for activation via the camera itself as you can with the siren feature. However with the amount of birds we get in our garden i decided not to do this. The pan tilt function is excellent and you can set favourite positions so you can view them with just one touch.
To sum up, if you want a quality pan tilt camera for night or day with the added feature of a light on it at a truly bargain price, then buy this. I will eventually replace all my cameras with this type.
As said brilliant little camera that is excellent value for money with good supporting app.
Cracking camera for the price, super easy to install, security light seems nice and bright. Nice smoth movement. Camera is not too big and obtrusive, only downside I can see is the power cable is not a solid fixing.
This is a great model.Excellent visual. Good looking and a sound piece of equipment. ~Also big enough for prospective intruders to see, and hopefully be deterred.
I love this security camera , the images are very clear , you can insert a memory card as well , you also have the choice of infrared or full colour when it’s dark.
My favourite feature on the app is the control allowing the user to change direction of wiew of the camera.
Great all rounder.
The position sometimes randomly would change. And the saved positions so not work at all. Other than that good camera. Quality really nice. The sensor light that turns on isn’t too bright. And it’s easy to set up.
Yes the camera did arrive and within an hour it was up on the corner of the rear of our house. It’s fantastic to be able to control it remotely. The fact that it has white lights which enable you to view at night in colour is also an advantage. Its really good quality picture resolution at reasonable price.

Setup under 2 minutes with the Wansview iPhone app. Easy to connect externally as only required a usb type charger cable connection supplied. I adjusted and saved several viewing positions in the app for easy smooth repositioning. I record locally on a 128gb micro memory card but am considering subscribing to the cloud service for extended viewing. Alerts are sent to my Iphone app remotely and I can easily view live or recorded footage also listen or speak through the camera when away from home.
I was looking for a gimballed camera that would be able to sit outside using low voltage power (5v DC) and this camera ticked all the boxes.
The image quality is excellent, and the gimbal motors are exceptionally quiet,.
I am using the Android and Windows desktop apps and the Android app in particular is very full featured with lots of configurable settings.
The microphone and speaker on the camera are both good quality and overall I wouldn’t have any problem with leaving this camera mounted outside long term.
I already have existing cameras from the same manufacturer and this one was as easy to setup as the others, you use a QR code that the camera sees to configure it on the Wifi network, in all it took less that 10 minutes to set up.
Well worth the money.
Excellent camera could not get it to connect to internet at first found out later it was a password error on the hub. Brilliant customer service from wansview.
I’ve tried a lot of different wifi cameras each have their own advantages and disadvantages but often there’s not much between them, most these days have a pretty common set of features – but this one has two that I personally found very useful.
The first feature is the mounting bracket – a nice simple device that the camera slots easily onto. The one thing I would say is that the camera is not secured to the mount so you will need to mount it somewhere out of reach!
The second feature that I really like is the power cable. At first I was surprised – as I’ve not seen a camera like this with a detachable micro-usb cable for the power supply. In my situation though, it’s actually an improvement . With the micro-usb connector being pretty small, the hole that I need to drill is signficantly smaller than for other camera power supplies (with some even having a great big ethernet jack attached).
All the other features seem good so far, and the colour night vision looks great.
I am big fan on Wansview cameras and I decided to add this one to add to my collection. For a small cost I am amazed how much this camera packs in. Its has a far better clearer image than my other cameras and I love the ability to do 24hr recording to the SD card whilst still highlighting the motion events and not forcing you to subscribe to a wifi data hungry web service. Another significant improvement (over the W9) is the addition of a light which can be set to activate when motion is sensed. I recommend this camera!
I really like Wansview products, they are affordable but they do the job. This camera is easy to install and the screen quality is great. I was impressed that there was a light installed, and you can switch it on manually, have it set to motion triggered, or scheduled on. I am really pleased with this product and I would recommend.
For me, simplicity is the key word. A template to help mount the camera, a simple slide and go mounting, one power cable (micro USB) and straightforward linking to my Wansview app that I use for two existing Wansview cameras. Manual clear and easy to follow, if you even need it.
Picture clarity is good and, whilst a little too sensitive sometimes, the onscreen remote Pan/Tilt function is really useful. As is the facility to store up to four “favourite” positions, which the camera will return to as you select them.
SD card storage is waterproof and the build quality fells very good. Have tested the lights function and the four LEDS give enough light for me to get colour night vision if required – the standard infra red in black and white is perfectly adequate though. I didn’t test the siren function yet as it is not something I will be setting.
My one observation, which has been mentioned elsewhere is that the USB power cable is a little too short, but I have simply bought a 3m cable, so the mains supply is now well in reach.
Obviously I can’t speak for longevity as I have only just got the camera, but as I said it seems solidly built, no rough edges and operates silently. Therefore I have no reason to believe that I won’t have it for a long time
I would expect to have to pay more than 40 for a camera with matching functionality
Over the last few years I have been gently adding cameras to our home. I found that when we are away it brings a lot of peace being able to have a quick squint at home from afar. The new camera is easy set up with clear step instructions and is a step ahead technologically from the HD offerings I have been using, Installation was quick and easy, a small hole for power and a couple of screws for installation and there is was, a handy view down from my porch covering the area around the front door.
I will enjoy this extra view the next time I stay away from home. I now have 4 cameras working, the first of which is at least two years old and never once has there been a problem.
a very good camera for the price extremely easy to set up
just scanned the QR code and away to go
picture quality is very good and i love the fact that you can tilt
and pan the camera
it has all the features of a more expensive camera
i would definitely recommend to anyone
I got this camera to work alongside my other Wansview cameras as it shares the same wansview cloud software. Have to say really easy to set up out of the box and has a great picture.
The PTZ and light features also work really well and you can add motion sensitive lighting which is great for additional security.
Really like this security camera. Well built, easy to set up, and love the fact it has lights and an alarm!. Works with my Wansview app and can view it on the Echo Show. Going to install it properly when I finish the garden. Top buy, especially at this price. Recommended.
Very pleased with this excellent camera. It is so easy to install and connect to the network and it works excellently. You can pan and tilt to choose what you are focusing on. As with all security cameras, a lot depends on the app that it works with. This one uses the Wansview Cloud app, which works so much better than other I have tried. I now have three cameras on the app on a Samsung phone. Each makes an easy connection, so you can monitor your home wherever you are. Highly recommended.
Great security camera – I have installed it outside my front door, and provides great quality images and peace of mind for rhe whole family. 5 star product and service.
Love this camera, the quality is the best I’ve used/seen yet. Easy to install and use with the app, the ability to pan/tilt is superb.
Crystal clear video and images, with night vision, light system, and two-way comms.
This camera is a great device to have outsode your home it’s easy to install. It is powered by a USB socket and has lasted quite a while for me. The images are clear and it has optional cloud storage through the app. I found the price was very reasonable for the camera and it was easy to use (which is always the challenge for me !)
What can I say this camera is a wonder. You can set up favorite positions. Watch in live view and move the image as you like. Communicate with 2 way speaker and microphone capability. It has night vision,a built in security light and motion detection. There is a subscription service available for cloud storage too. It was ultra simple to setup via 2.4gz wifi once the wansview app had been downloaded to my phone and scanning the QR on the camera. Grab one you’d be mad not too.
