wansview Outdoor Security Camera, 1080P Waterproof WiFi Home Security Surveillance Bullet Camera with Night Vision, Motion Detection and Remote View, Compatible with Alexa (Black)

I am a long time user of Wansview products and I purchased two of these W4s over the past couple of months, the first to test and the second because I was pretty happy with the first. Importantly, I am using them indoors so I can't speak to how they function outdoors. Setup was a breeze and takes less than 10 minutes. I'm running them via WiFi but they have ethernet ports so they can be hard wired as well. The picture quality is superb. I purchased these primarily for their motion detection which also functions perfectly. Notably, these cameras are operated from (in my case) an iOS application that's free and run on ones iPhone. Turning on motion detection is simple and I've tested this feature extensively and it works without a hitch. I have also purchased the 69.00 dollar package to allow for being able to store motion events in the cloud for a week and this works great. These events can be downloaded to the iPhone which is nice if you want to be able to store events that would scroll off after a week. The app took a little getting used to and I did contact support with a couple of questions and those questions were answered promptly. I use Blue Iris as a Windows application to drive my older Wansview cams and I haven't set the new ones up yet but other people have stated that Blue Iris will support them which is critical for me. I'll post another update when I do that and report back. All in all, for the money these are great cams and Wansview continues to deliver good product and these two W4s are now my 3rd and 4th cams I own and have purchased from Wansview.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the picture given the price of the camera. Usually security cameras with such a cheap price the price is reflected in the quality of video but not with this camera. Great price for reasonable quality for the price you pay. The only complaint I do have is that you have to pay a monthly subscription if you want to be able to have continuous recording and to be able to go back and look at the entire day of security footage if you needed to which is a huge deal for me in my case being a survivor of domestic violence and needing to have security cameras for my safety and to be able to actually go to sleep every night feeling safe and secure. I think that a basic free plan should come with 7 days continuous 24/7 recording and storage if wanted and anything more than that should be charged a fee because I understand that is a huge part of how these security camera companies make their money is the subscriptions and I understand that they need to get paid too! But anyway, yes, this is a great outdoor security camera. And I live in the Pacific Northwest near Seattle so it rains a lot and we can have some Bipolar weather here and this camera has withstood all the weather elements we have here with absolutely no issues at all. Very impressive once again given such a great price! I do want to upgrade and try this companies pan and tilt outdoor security camera after being very satisfied in the quality and price of this one. The night vision is also automatically turned on and has a great clear picture as well. And on a side note for those of you who are into looking/watching/hunting for extraterrestrial/ET paranormal/ghost, this camera does have infared and I have found some unexplainable caught on camera security footage "things" with this camera so this is a great camera for that specific hobby for those of you who are interested.

I have been wanting to purchase home security cameras for some time now., but I did not want to spend hundreds of dollars. I happened across this camera through "Today's Deals" and thought, why not for the price. I looked at the information provided by the company, read reviews, and looked at the images provided in the reviews. I am not disappointed. These were very easy to connect to the internet, set up in the app, and install. We have one set up in our basement to watch our cat at night and one for the backyard, mainly to see what for animals we get throughout the night/day. The night vision is pretty good. The center of the image/video is very bright as can be expected because it is the main focus area. I really enjoy being able to see my backyard at night without having to turn lights on. So far, we have caught bunnies, bugs, birds, and bats on camera. The motion detection works a little too well sometimes. There are set presets for the motion detection feature, but it is very easy to change in settings. The first night we had it, I woke up in the morning to 34 alerts of motion in the backyard. They were all flying insects going directly in front of the camera. I turned the sensitivity down, and we don't get quite as many insect alerts. When the camera detects motion, it captures about a 12-second clip for you to view. The picture quality is great for the price of the camera. I didn't expect Ultra HD or anything and you shouldn't either, but it is pretty good quality for both day and night vision. I have not tried out the company's cloud storage feature yet, but they do offer a free 1-month trial which is a nice bonus. Overall this camera gets 4/5 stars. It loses a star because it seems it cannot be connected to a third-party app or system to be able to record footage. If there is, I have not figured it out yet, but I am not the most computer savvy person. Definitely recommend this camera as I will likely purchase a couple more in the future.
