Wansview Security Camera Indoor, 360 Degree WiFi Home Security Cameras for Pet/Dog/Nanny, 2 Way Audio Night Vision, Works with Alexa, with TF Card Slot and Cloud, 2.4Ghz, Q5 (Black, 3MP)

UPDATE: My review stands, I love these cameras. However, I wanted to add a little note. My dog can hear when this camera comes on. She is very clever and she now hides from the camera when it comes on. Whenever I go into the app to watch her she begins whining and crying and then will go where the camera can't see. I don't need to move the camera, I just need to launch the app and go to the camera to view it and she can hear it. It must make some kind of sound when it connects to the app. This isn't an issue, and not a problem with the product, just something I wanted people to be aware of.I've never had a home security camera before, so I didn't know what to expect. I got this so I could watch my pup while I'm at work.Set up took no time at all, I had it up and running within 15 minutes, including downloading and connecting the app, and attaching the camera to the wall with the provided mount.The cord is nice and long, so I had plenty of slack to run and tuck it out of sight to an outlet. Paring it with the app was simple, and the app is simple and intuitive itself. I set it up to send me alerts when it detects movement at night, and within 5 minutes of going up to bed I got an alert when my cat came out of hiding.The night vision is excellent. I live out in the middle of nowhere, in a very very rural neighborhood that is mostly woods and has no street lights or anything, so when I shut off the lights in my house at night it is pitch black. You can see from the pictures how good the night vision is.So far I have noticed only two cons that I consider very very minor.The first is that sometimes it loses connection. I don't think that's the cameras fault, I'm pretty sure it's more the fault of my internet, it is DSL and not that great. I switched the feed to SD and that helps a little, and the quality difference between HD and SD is minor, there really isn't much lost by watching in SD. The issue is my abysmal upload speeds, and no fault of the camera, honestly.The second is that sometimes the sounds the camera makes moving are extremely loud, and once or twice through my phone its made a very high pitched sound. I'm guessing its some kind of feedback, but it's not a big deal, I just mute it in the app and problem solved.All in all this is an excellent camera and a great price point, and I fully intend on getting a second one of these, as well as the great priced 2-pack of outdoor cameras to go with it. I'm also getting an Alexa Show. I am very pleased with this purchase, and barring any strange mishaps I'm sure you will be too, so stop reading reviews and get it :)

This is a great camera! It works great and easy to use. I can install the app in multiple devices and we can check at the same time. The quality of picture is great and the great value for the price!

So I got this camera to monitor a stray with a severely fractured pelvis that I am fostering. It’s in a 30” kennel mounted in the top corner that’s covered by a sheet often. It’s always what we be considered “low light” so probably the least ideal conditions and I still love it. I have not one ounce of regret. Could it be better? Sure, but I have a feeling most of my cons are addressed in the higher tier items so I’m not complaining at all.Pros1 it just works! I didn’t have to fuss and fight with it, didn’t really even read the manual aside from what app to download. I had to try a few times to scan the QR code on my phone, it still only took 3 or 4 minutes.2 the clarity of the picture in normal & IR mode. It’s gives a nice defined image from close like I have it or across my apartment like when setting it up. it will work great when he’s all healed to maybe catch some fun cat antics in my apartment.3 on that point the connectivity on the wifi and cellular is fantastic!!! I haven’t had a single issue with it not connecting or behaving improperly once connected. It even warns on cellular that it may use alot of data. Take notes Wyze I think I could go on vacation and actually connect to this camera, I have been converted!4 It is great in low light, especially if you use the IR light in pitch black situations! I don’t because although the internet says cats can’t see infrared light my kitten disagrees when he tries to hide from the camera when I turn the IR on.5 the included mounting stuff works great. I may have made a frankenstein out of it now, but once it’s not in the cage that hardware will work great.6 it does well at all the normal camera stuff it should like adjusting focus, adjusting lighting, moving without binding, taking pictures and videos from the app, reviewing footage… all the normal stuff.Cons, they are slight and if I used it like a normal camera all but one wouldn’t be an issue.1 when you move the camera with the app the camera itself can make a very slight sound. Through the app, it’s a pretty loud sound. It wouldn’t be a problem if it wasn’t 16 inches or less from a hurt/scared kitty… it doesn’t surprise him after 2 days but he notices. Again it’s really barely noticeable.2 it sometimes makes a slight “clickity clack” when adjusting the focus when say I reach my hand in the cage. This might not be a thing if mounted more than 2 feet from something. It also may be switching to the non IR night vision (B&W). Again not real loud unless you’re right there, still not a problem.3 this one is the app, but again it’s probably because of the small kennel it’s in. I wish the motion detection could be less sensitive than it can currently be. Again when 1/3 of the image moves there’s not much you can do.4 this one isn’t specific to my situation, but I just wish the degrees of rotation for every camera movement up or down/side to side wasn’t so drastic. Not a complaint as the slightly higher priced offerings from WansView probably have finer rotation, I’m just cheap 😁In conclusion this is a great camera! I will recommend it to anyone that wants a camera to monitor something whether that’s property, pets, people, nature or the inside of a small kennel. It’s just great. Not just good for the price just good. 10/10 I would buy again
