wansview Security Indoor Pet Camera, 2K Dog Camera with APP, WiFi CCTV Camera House Security for Baby Monitor, Real-time Alert 2-Way Audio Night Vision Pan/Tilt, TF Card Storage, Works with Alexa Q5

This is a great little gadget and I’d highly recommend. I wanted it as a camera trap to capture wildlife activity in my garden. The video was taken of a fox in the middle of the night. The key points I found were: 1) It costs £25 for the unit but to get the most out of it, you will need to pay a £5 per month subscription for cloud storage. This allows you to play back longer recordings at higher quality. I hadn’t picked this up from other reviews. 2) Set up was remarkably easy. Instructions guided you through the app download and installation. I control and view via my phone. 3) It is USB powered. I use a rechargeable power bank which over comes restrictions of needing to be near a plugin power source 4) Although It’s designed for indoor use, I use it outside and it has survived light rain showers. Anything wetter would need protection. 5) Motion detection is good and sensitivity and alert settings can be changed in the app. The app is fairly intuitive, including playback and video download. 6) Picture quality is good rather than exceptional, but at this price much better than expected. 7) Switch between day and night / infrared is automatic and works very well. Overall, well worth the money - just remember the cost of cloud subscription.

Great product with high resolution picture and good features including movement detection. High quality and bargain price. Very easy to set up too.

This is my second Wansview camera, but the first time I have received an item free for writing a review. All my reviews are honest so I will give the good and not so good. My first Wansview camera is the W5 outdoor camera. Just like that camera the build quality, image quality and motion detection are superb. You can adjust the sensitivity of the motion detection. To remotely control the direction the camera points in, you download the Wansview app to your phone. Using this you can move the lens up, down and side to side and get a live view. This is very easy indeed. I'm using a micro sd card to store when movement is detected. You then use the app to scroll back through information. There is a pull down calendar so you can go back to images stored earlier. There is a timeline bar showing at what time recordings took place. You can scroll through this to find recording and then play them back. At the moment this camera points through my downstairs window, to capture any blind spots the outdoor camera misses. At night it uses LED lights to give night time images. I have turned this off inside the app, so the LED lights don't reflect off the window. I get excellent images using the street light. Setting up the camera was much easier than previously with the outdoor camera, simply because I learnt a lot from doing it the first time. Nevertheless, set up was still not easy. For some reason, on set up, their cameras seem to struggle to pick up the router, even if the camera is right next to it. I checked my WiFi password each time, but it took 5 attempts for it to connect. However, once it is connected, it stays connected. All setting up is done via the app. Scanning the QR code on my phone with the camera was easy. If you don't want to store images on an sd card, you also have the option of using the subscription cloud service. It comes with a free trial. The camera comes with a basic instruction booklet. A more detailed one can be downloaded from their website. Areas that Wansview can improve on are as follows: - it would be good to zoom in on the timeline scroll bar so that you can get better placement of the clip you want to see. - when playing a clip it would be better if a bar comes up as on most videos so you can scroll back to something you have seen, even when the image is paused. At the moment you have to replay the clip. - at the moment you can only take a picture if the video is playing. It would be better if you can pause the video at exactly the point at which you want to take the picture. - downloading images and video clips is the most frustrating thing about these cameras for me. With the other camera it took me a long time to find out where the clips were being saved. In fact, they are saved withing the app. When you first go into the app there is a menu and you select 'Me'. If you then want to download this to your phone, you need to select download on the images. Also you need to do this one at a time. You cannot select all the images you want to download. What I would like Wansview to do is create a folder 'Wansview' in the phone's Gallery so that images and videos are downloaded to this immediately when finding clips. - to download images from your phone to your pc is not too straightforward. If you use a usb to connect your phone, you need to find the WansviewPlus folder. This has subfolders . You will have to look through these subfolders to find the images. I couldn't find all the images I downloaded, but this may have been because my phone is short of memory. The main issues are with the app, which I'm sure they can improve. The cameras are excellent, and I won't have any hesitation in buying another one in the future.

Easily the best feature of this camera is the setup process. The cameras speaker gives you feedback over the process. The App uses a QR Code to pair with the camera, so hold your phone in front of the camera and seconds later the pairing is completed and speaker tells you. I also used the WiFi Setup Option, with this, you connect your phone to the camera WiFi and Then follow the on screen prompts, for me it was 2 clicks and the camera set it self up. You can save Positions almost like short cuts so you can easily move the camera pan and tilt position into a previous favourite spot at the touch of a button. Would be nice if you could set it to move through these positions at an interval. Maybe a future update will have this. The night vision mode is really impressive and clear, takes maybe a second to switch from IR to normal mode. The speaker is prob 7/10, but the microphone is insane. It was picking up the clicking of my gaming keyboard from 4 meters away. This can lead to feedback if you use the phone too close to the camera to view it. I haven't used the bracket / clamp that came with the camera, but it comes with a camera tripod size wall bracket, so you can mount it. You can also fix the camera so other things like a camera tripod too. The only negative I can find is, the inbuilt microphone picks up the sound of the motor when you are panning or tilting,but that's purely down to the small size and price of the device. Ultra Sonic motors are expensive, and sound deadening is bulky. For under £20 you cannot get better. I have now put an SD card in, on 24/7 record (it only records when there's motion) it uses around 2.2gb on busy day, and around 1.4gb on a slow day. So the 128gb card I put in, should manage about 2 months. Update: The memory card didn't used to be able to connect to remotely, this has now changed, the main account holder can access the memory card remotely. For the price, and ease of setup, and features you really can't find any better.
