I've had a number of different brands of surveillance cameras but had never tried Wansview. They looked interesting so I thought I’d try a couple to see how they would work.
The camera consists of the camera itself, a screw-on WiFi antenna, the plug-in power supply and mounting hardware. There is a single cable that comes out of the mounting base that splits into 3 separate cables: one for power; one for an Ethernet (RJ-45) cable, and one for a reset button. The Ethernet cable also has a separate has 2 small status LED’s, one green and one yellow. They indicate everything from power, connection status and firmware upgrading. That makes it very easy to know what’s going on if any connection issues arise. These cameras do not operate on batteries. The quality of the construction appears to be a very sturdy metal case and made for harsh weather usage, and are rated for a spec called IP66.
The next step was to was to set up an account on my cell phone using the Wansview app. The app is easy to use and seems well thought out. There is a Quick Installation Guide as well as a User Manual. To make sure that one of the cameras would connect to WiFi, I decided to temporarily mount one in place first to make sure that it would work properly where I wanted it to be located. I really wanted to hard wire the camera to the internet since there is a jack for it, but there was no way I could do that, so I had to settle for a WiFi connection.
The next step was to add the W4 camera to the account once the camera was powered up and the antenna was installed. Make sure your cell phone WiFi is set for 2.4GHz, as the camera only works on 2.4GHz. Follow the directions in the Quick Installation Guide. It will involve identifying your 2.4GHz SSID (which is the network name you have given to your 2.4GHz WiFi on your router) and holding the QR code shown on the cell phone app to the lens of the W4 camera. When you connect, the camera will announce that you have paired to your router and you can start using the camera. It’s just that simple. The status LED’s will also indicate success when it turns steady green. I also decided to see what happens if you disconnect power from the camera and then a few minutes later reconnect power. The camera goes thru a re-connection process by itself, and will pair to WiFi on its own and reconnect. That was good to see. Once finding out how easy it was to connect, I proceeded to mount the camera on the wall of my wrap-around porch and connected it to an electrical outlet. The WiFi antenna is adjustable such that it can be positioned most any way, once it’s screwed on to the camera.
The other camera I was going to mount under my detached garage roof eave. The app allows me to flip the image 180 degrees for just such a mounting. After I checked out the WiFi signal going to that camera, I found that I had a very weak signal because of the distance from my router in the house to the back of my garage. So, I decided to install a very inexpensive WiFi extender, and WOW, what a difference that made! The camera worked perfect. I then decided to mount the camera to the back wall of the garage by drilling a hole in the wall and the camera cable went through it connecting it to an electrical outlet in the garage now that the WiFi signal was perfect. I recommend anyone with a weak WiFi signal to consider using an extender, it too is totally wireless.
The image quality of both cameras is outstanding, truly, high definition. Sharp as can be as well as the videos. I couldn’t be happier. The lens is a bit of what is called a “fish eye”, a wide angle 105 degree lens, and covers a very large and wide area. The closer anyone comes to the cameras the larger they get in the view, very similar to doorbell cameras so common these days, with incredible detail, and videos can be triggered by motion detection, at reasonable distances as well. An excellent combination. Another feature is a 4X digital zoom when viewing the camera’s images on your cell phone. Very nice and easy to do. This camera does not utilize a micro SD card for local storage, but videos and alerts can be downloaded to your cell phone. Alert messages can also be sent to you to check out what set it off. Night vision switches to black and white as most all surveillance cameras do, and does throw a reasonable amount of light, said to be about 20 meters or 65 feet. This camera is waterproof, and amazingly, it works with Alexa as well. It really does!
I think for all of its capability, it’s a great value for an outdoor camera that not only works, but takes great pictures and videos to in full HD to boot. The camera tends to be somewhat invisible as the white color blends it into the background where mounted. Of course, that can be dependent on many things, so YMMV as they say. I think it’s an excellent value for what it does after looking at its competition.
