This camera is fantastic around the house! I own a property in Mexico, there I keep some of this cameras, I love that I can have a look of what is going on in there from my house in the US, it gives me so much peace of mind, this means you can place the camera anywhere and use it from any part in the world thru the app which is very friendly to use. Very easy to set up, just make sure the back of you QR code is white, I had a bit of trouble since I had my phone in night mode and the back of the code was black, the camera didn’t read it like that but once I figured this out everything went smoothly. I have alarms set up for movement inside the house, sometimes it gets triggered by the change in light at sunrise and sunset which I like to see and it reminds me to take a look at the house every day. For me this has been one of the best purchases I have made. Excellent image and sound quality, specially night vision, also the sound and speaker system work great! Totally recommend this camera!Esta cámara es fantástica para usarla dentro de casa! Tengo una propiedad en México, ahí tengo de estas cámaras, me encanta poder ver lo que está pasando allá, me da mucha tranquilidad, esto significa que puedes instalar la cámara en cualquier lugar y ver las imágenes desde cualquier lugar del mundo a través de la app. Muy fácil de instalar, solo recomiendo que el fondo del código QR sea blanco, yo batalle al principio porque tenía mi teléfono en modo nocturno y el fondo del código era negro, la cámara no lo leía, pero cuando me di cuenta de esto, la instalación fue inmediata. Puse que me enviara notificaciones cuando hubiera movimiento en la casa y a veces la alarma se activa con el cambio de la luz del amanecer y atardecer, lo cuales me gusta ver y me recuerda a echar un vistazo a la casa todos los días. Para mí ha sido una de las mejores compras que he hecho. Excelente imagen y sonido, especialmente la visión nocturna, también el sistema para oír y hablar a través de la app funciona muy bien. Totalmente recomendada esta cámara!

i bought this camera to check in on my 84 year old father while my Mother was away. It was so good I quickly bought a second camera. My father is pretty active but has some hearing loss and often doesn’t hear the phone. He’s also had 2 bad falls in the past few years. Although I live close by, these cameras allowed me to peek in while I was at work or when I hadn’t heard from him in a while. It also let my Mom peek in too while she was traveling. This gave her such a good piece of mind. The cameras are small and have a user friendly app. I like that I can change the view remotely. While a wireless camera would have been more discreet, for the price these are perfect. Very easy to set up with the remote app. Good picture clarity. Lots of good functions. I highly recommend!

I have many cameras using many apps. From my experience Wansview is one of the best brands for all around quality and capability. I mounted this camera up high so I could see multiple rooms and check in on my dogs. It came with an adjustable mounting bracket that you can mount on the wall or ceiling or you can just set on a table top. Whether I am in my office or away from home, I can quickly look at the video feed and PTZ around the room to see what my dogs are doing and where they are. The camera was easy to set up and the controls are smooth and responsive. The Wansview android app works great with all the settings you might need. You can also tell Alexa to show the camera on your appropriate device and it works.(*Alexa compatibility – all the Wansview Cameras work with Alexa Show devices, Firesticks, TvCubes, but not in the Alexa PC app or the live preview in the Android app. With the PC or Android app, you can still tell Alexa to show it on one of the other devices)This camera and all Wansview cameras also works with my Home automation software I use. With all PTZ cameras, when you use the PTZ you can hear the motors because the mic is located in the device, however you do not hear the motion of the camera when you are in the room with this camera.

We use this camera to check in on our puppy and to make sure our son is taking her out when we’re not home (camera hidden in the blocked off portion of her crate). We love it. The picture quality is great and helped us figure out if she’s up in the early mornings or if she only gets up when she hears us. Very satisfied.

This camera is fantastic for my house. My tiny pup is usually always with me. But at times I have to leave him home for short periods of time. I love that I can not only check in on him, but can listen if he is barking and can also talk to him with the microphone! As you can see in the attached photo, he’s on the couch waiting for me to get home ?Very easy to set up! Jennie at customer support was super helpful when I had a problem connecting to my wifi (problem on wifi end, not with camera). My second camera installed in less than ONE MINUTE!For me this has been one of the best purchases I have made. Excellent image and sound quality, specially night vision, also the sound and speaker system work great! The ability to pan the camera in all different directions is a total plus! (I didn’t have this option with the first doggie camera I purchased). I have seen and tried other cameras FAR MORE EXPENSIVE and this is by far the top one for only 30.00!I Totally recommend this camera!

TL:dr It’s a great product at an amazing price point which is easy to setup and use. It does more that you’d expect….Long version: Like others you might have looked at the reviews and wondered about the negative ones. I did too. Well it’s worth remembering that you don’t know anything about the skill level or anything else about the person writing the review. Hey, that’s applies to me too!Packaging: no complaints, it’s all there; power cube, cable, mounting bracket and screws.Setup: no complaints. Just install the app, create an account and follow the instructions on the app to connect. It will ONLY work on a 2.4G WiFi connection and you’ll need the password for your 2.4G network. Frankly those having difficulty connecting this product are likely to have difficulty with ANY similar camera as they ALL follow the same connection format.Usage: the online app provides everything that any reasonable person would need and it’s easy to use too. The desktop app isn’t anywhere near as developed as the phone app…. but the device wasn’t intended to be used from a PC.Picture Quality.It’s great. I can monitor my car at night without issue.Local storage:A (not supplied) 128G micro-sd will store about 14 days of my (fairly comprehensive) video. No issues.Cloud Storage: VERY reasonably priced, fully integrated into the app and works very well providing the instances where motion was detectedMotion Detection.All those complaining that “it doesn’t provide continuous monitoring” are missing the point and have unreasonable expectations. Here’s the deal; nobody wants to have a continuous recording of, say their baby sleeping, or their car parked on the street because those images aren’t interesting. What IS interesting and useful to have a recording and an alert when SOMETHING HAPPENS. Like baby moves. Or someone is close to your car. Or there is free pizza…. Now, if you really want to have as close to “continuous” recording as possible, just set the sensitivity level to max and it will record the slightest movement. You’ll probably turn the sensitivity level down when you find that recordings of “no movement” was caused by a moth flying by.In short, I have 4 and more are on the way. It’s less than $30 so buy some already. You have just spent more than $30 of your time reading these reviews.

Read through all the reviews and wanted something relatively easy to set up that did not require a monthly fee. It was simple to set up and get working right away. The sim card slot is out of the way, but once you realize where it is, it is not a big problem. I would love something similar that I could use outdoors. In the meantime I am trying to find a spot that I could place this one that would allow me to look either inside or outside through a window, but until I figure that out I love the location I have it right now since it gives me a great view of my whole downstairs. The picture is really clear for both day and night shots. I haven’t used any of the other options, like the talking, but I can hear the sounds in the house coming through the camera. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a camera.

Bought this camera on a whim to watch my dogs while we’re gone. One of the 4 was getting on the counter while we’re gone and we couldn’t identify the guilty party… Turns out, it was 2 of the 4 and I busted them thanks to this nifty gadget!I actually wasn’t expecting the movement. notification feature, which is excellent for sending you a notification on your phone when it sees movement.. I’ve used this regularly on my counter to catch the dogs in action. Better yet, it had a speaker so I can yell at them to get down in real time. The looks on their faces is priceless.The app is simple and intuitive and allows you watch watch remotely in real time in SD or HD, move the camera around, trigger alarms etc..If you’re looking for a nice little camera to monitor your house, or dogs in my case, you can’t go wrong with this one. Totally worth the money to me, no regrets. The laughs at my dogs alone are worth it.

I recently adopted a one-year old dog through a local rescue agency, and, very dishearteningly, I soon learned that the situation from which my dog had been pulled was an extremely abusive one, where most of the dogs were left to fend for themselves or kept in groups in cardboard boxes. At only five pounds, Lily, my new (and most wonderful) friend, has had a great deal of anxiety as a consequence of these early-life experiences. When I leave my house to run errands on which she cannot accompany me, I crate her, and I have been (out of my own dog-guardian anxiety!) worried about how she handles my absence during those periods. A colleague of mine suggested Wansview, and she could not have been more correct.Reviews of the application through which the Wansview camera works (I will discuss set-up momentarily) paint a curiously negative picture, some saying that recent changes in the application have made it difficult to sustain a connection with the camera. I downloaded the application, as the instructions requested, and I began the setup process. I thought I had done it properly and was thus surprised when the camera could not seem to establish an audiovisual connection between its recording lens and my cellphone. Here, two points must be noted, both of which will hopefully gesture toward the quality of the product and the excellent customer service Wansview offers.First, the error on my part–the instructions say clearly that a new user must wait to hear certain phrases emitted by the camera’s microphone to confirm that it is completely operational. Due to hasty reading on my part, I did not notice the final phrase for which one was supposed to wait, the content of which offered confirmation of a secure, steady Internet signal. Within about ten minutes of the camera having been installed, I received a notification to update my firmware to the latest version (this notification was not the consequence of any complaint I had registered; it was simply the application informing me that new firmware was available). I downloaded the firmware, and the feed began to work. Since then, I have never had a problem with accessing the feed, and I am able to check in on Lily while I am running errands. Never having owned a dog, I have had my fair share of first-dog anxiety, and I am now able to determine how long after my departure Lily whines (steadily decreasing and now only lasting a few minutes) and check in on her while she is in her crate to ensure that she is sleeping and safe. The relief of that knowledge alone makes the product worthwhile. The quality of the feed is also excellent, so much so that I play it in its SD variety (I haven’t needed to go the HD route because everything is already clear as crystal). The application is incredibly easy to use, and since the successful installation I have not had to do anything.Now, for the second point. Between my initial installation of the application and the ten to fifteen minutes it took for the firmwarm to update and for the camera to start working (during that time I could not maintain or open a connection between the camera’s feed and my cellphone), I sent an e-mail to Wansview’s customer service department. One of their agents, Melody, responded within 24 hours. Not only did she provide me with instructions on how to begin to assess what the potential issue might be and how she could help me address that, she explained that Wansview so stands by its products that if my camera proved defective I could return it at no charge or have it replaced. Because the camera was already working, I made a note to myself to reply to her e-mail later in the day.When, due to my own error, I forgot to reply to Melody’s message, confirming that the camera was indeed working, she followed up me with via e-mail to confirm that I had received her message and to ask what she could do to help ensure that the camera was working. I do not know if I have ever had a customer-service experience during which a company representative reached out to me a second time because I mistakenly failed to reply to their first message. In her second message, she reiterated her commitment to helping me ensure that the product worked properly and that Wansview’s ethic was one that stood behind the quality of its products and the quality of customers’ experiences with those products. I immediately replied, thanked her for her message, and explained how happy I was with the quality of the product.In short, even if you experience any issues with this camera during setup, it seems like Wansview takes very seriously its commitment to customer service. As someone not altogether fluent in techno-gadgetry, the abundant interest in helping to ensure that I could use the camera with use certainly marks out Wansview as unique in my experience. And, the price is a terribly affordable one. All in all, I would encourage anyone to consider buying this camera, and, if they choose to do so, to buy it with the ease of knowing that there is an active customer-service team happy to interface with you and help resolve any issues.

I bought one of these as a simple camera to help watch my front door while I’m away at work. I was so impressed I decided to buy 3 more to watch over the rest of my property. The app allows for monitoring of multiple cameras at once from your phone/tablet. Of course, at 30 bucks each you’re not going to get 4k camera quality, and there’s a second delay or so, but for the price I am happy with it. Great camera and qualify for a bid get price tag

Within about ten minutes of the camera having been installed, I received a notification to update my firmware to the latest version (this notification was not the consequence of any complaint I had registered; it was simply the application informing me that new firmware was available). I downloaded the firmware, and the feed began to work. Since then, I have never had a problem with accessing the feed, and I am able to check in on Lily while I am running errands. Never having owned a dog, I have had my fair share of first-dog anxiety, and I am now able to determine how long after my departure Lily whines (steadily decreasing and now only lasting a few minutes) and check in on her while she is in her crate to ensure that she is sleeping and safe. The relief of that knowledge alone makes the product worthwhile. The quality of the feed is also excellent, so much so that I play it in its SD variety (I haven’t needed to go the HD route because everything is already clear as crystal). The application is incredibly easy to use, and since the successful installation I have not had to do anything.Now, for the second point. Between my initial installation of the application and the ten to fifteen minutes it took for the firmwarm to update and for the camera to start working (during that time I could not maintain or open a connection between the camera’s feed and my cellphone), I sent an e-mail to Wansview’s customer service department. One of their agents, Melody, responded within 24 hours. Not only did she provide me with instructions on how to begin to assess what the potential issue might be and how she could help me address that, she explained that Wansview so stands by its products that if my camera proved defective I could return it at no charge or have it replaced. Because the camera was already working, I made a note to myself to reply to her e-mail later in the day.When, due to my own error, I forgot to reply to Melody’s message, confirming that the camera was indeed working, she followed up me with via e-mail to confirm that I had received her message and to ask what she could do to help ensure that the camera was working. I do not know if I have ever had a customer-service experience during which a company representative reached out to me a second time because I mistakenly failed to reply to their first message. In her second message, she reiterated her commitment to helping me ensure that the product worked properly and that Wansview’s ethic was one that stood behind the quality of its products and the quality of customers’ experiences with those products. I immediately replied, thanked her for her message, and explained how happy I was with the quality of the product.In short, even if you experience any issues with this camera during setup, it seems like Wansview takes very seriously its commitment to customer service. As someone not altogether fluent in techno-gadgetry, the abundant interest in helping to ensure that I could use the camera with use certainly marks out Wansview as unique in my experience. And, the price is a terribly affordable one. All in all, I would encourage anyone to consider buying this camera, and, if they choose to do so, to buy it with the ease of knowing that there is an active customer-service team happy to interface with you and help resolve any issues.
Justyn Gifford –
I bought one of these as a simple camera to help watch my front door while I’m away at work. I was so impressed I decided to buy 3 more to watch over the rest of my property. The app allows for monitoring of multiple cameras at once from your phone/tablet. Of course, at 30 bucks each you’re not going to get 4k camera quality, and there’s a second delay or so, but for the price I am happy with it. Great camera and qualify for a bid get price tag
