"the motion detection on the camera is a complete waste of time and will just alert you every couple of minutes even when there is absolutely nothing there so i had this disabled the whole time i owned the camera which is a really big disadvantage!"

"i don't know how it would work in total darkness but for me it's fine"

"there is a time delay when watching on my phone but that is to be expected with all devices of this type"

"the only gripe i can think of is the thickness off the camera connections especially the internet one"

"initial setup is a little complicated but if you follow the instructions carefully then it works the only issue being that the cameras need a 2"

"using ethernet wired connection was not a major issue"

"i had issues setting up wifi connection but it turned out to be user error my end"

"once up the camera is easy to set up with the downloadable app qr code supplied and the images are as good as i have seen on some more expensive cameras"

"i put an sd card into it which it quickly used the memory on you should be able to clear the card from the app but that doesn’t seem to work it gives an error message every time"

"the only problem i had was that i had to position the camera very close to the router as the camera kept dropping out even though the wifi signal showed 57% and that this was a good signal"

"cloud storage lasts for a 14 day trial then it is a very expensive subscription per camera"

"so unless you mount the camera under an overhang which shelters the camera from rain or snow then you are going to get a lot of false alerts"

"when it's sunny and cloud cover comes across again it false alarms"

"i've got a major problem trying to figure out how to house these cables"

"we also pay around £1 a month so we continue to receive video recorded notifications after the free trial ends a tiny amount for piece of mind "

"my only negative is that it is quite big and obvious on the front of the house"

"i have been a long time user of another brand of wifi camera but kept having connection issues so i though i would give netvue a go prompted by other reviews and there very competitive price"

"i took another reviewers suggestion of putting all of the wires in a junction box outside as the cables are too bulky as a group to easily put through the wall so i just put the power cable through"

"feel free to waste your money you really would be better getting a wired unit with a centrally controlled hard drive all at home as that will run for years with no issues"

"i bought 2 of these cameras for my mum as she has had some unwelcome visitors looking around her property recently needless to say she hasn't received any problems since!"

"two way communication does work but has slight delay inevitable i guess "

"as i had already purchased a netvue wi fi doorbell and been very pleased with it buying the netvue vigil camera s was an obvious next step as they offer sd card recording and playback capability without needing to purchase cloud based storage it’s just a case of mounting the units out of easy reach"

"by comparison the cheap camera that i replaced kept buffering and losing connection constantly"

"i guess most of the time the video comes up but sometimes it times out trying to connect"

"i am just very disappointed i cannot return the other camera or even request a refund as i have no power adapter to set up the second camera which is now left redundant"

"the people with wifi issues either don't know what they are doing or have crap routers"

"it’s just incredibly frustrating"

"as soon as they do this i will be buying!"

"you would either have to get a memory card to record continuous but then in the event of it being stolen you have list all the footage or pay £8 a month for 24 7 recording to the cloud"

"the camera itself isn't bad by any means and especially for £40 however the biggest fault i have with it is the connection and even though i have a wifi extender literally less than 4 metres away from the camera really the connection is still garbage half the time it says the camera isn't on which is rubbish because i know it's on it's just the connection is so terrible"

"i still need to play with the settings much more to get it all right as i am getting alerts for every drop of rain that falls at the moment and that’s on the lowest sensitivity setting"

"i like that you can add a micro sd card in and it will record everything for you but setting these up can be tideious and frustrating"

"after lengthy and unsuccessful attempts to contact the company direct located in china with no apparent uk agent i was informed robotically via e mail chat that it only worked at 2"

"the only reason i give this 4 stars is because of the storage issue with multiple devices not being available"

"but it is not designed to be a high end 8 mega pixel camera with all the transmission and storage issues that you would come up against"

"the camera body is ok mostly plastic so will either fall apart or last until the next millennium"

"so we have power it's a standard dc connector and massive extension cables are cheaply available through amazon lan with an indicator led built in again a 25m run is easily purchased but even longer can be made cheaply and thirdly a weatherproof wifi reset button: i default away from wifi but recognise the brilliant innovation this option is just try getting up a ladder and removing the access plate to locate a tiny black button inside the body of the unit "

"honestly can't fault this especially as we got it when it was on offer"

"i got so fed up with various things going wrong such as the picture freezing that i thought i’ll sort it out tomorrow"

"setting up the wifi so as to use without the rj45 cable was my main gripe"

"months on still regular problems when it should just work it's unreliable bottom line in a product where reliability is critical we had an issue with car break inns and low and behold despite paying for the 24 7 service"

"seems good value for money but the costs to subscribe to cloud services are not clear at the outset so i guess the low product price is balanced with the annual fees to subscribe"

"not everybody realises you can make 3 or 4 adjacent holes to create a larger one it leaves me thankful that we share a world with folk like that because it means i still have a job"

"i thought the picture quality would be rubbish but it's really not"

"get the awful feeling that its spying on us"

"had this arrive today after looking around alot i found this on offer with an added amazon discount code it didnt work out to be cheapest but looked to be best value anyway when it arrived i opened it up and theres everything you need besides a drill and screwdriver to fit it actually included the corrected masonry drill bit for the plugs anyway about 10mins later it was installed setting up was very simple"

"even though i set it up with just one square area of motion detection it still picks up loud noises when cars go past"

"and some cameras do lose connection sometimes"

"i am just very disappointed i cannot return the other camera or even request a refund as i have no power adapter to set up the second camera which is now left redundant"

"the camera is ultimately a wi fi camera but there are three annoying wires which you can't easily hide"

"there are video tutorials if your unsure as you setup"

"slight issue with the large network cable as i had to drill a very large hole to get this mounted to the wall so that no cables were showing"

"this made installation harder than need be as the screw heads are so soft they stripped immediately"

"i have had several problems since and sadly they were all caused by me!"

"it becomes expensive at $70 per year per camera"

"obviously the only way you know the camera isnt connected to tour router is when you open the netvue app"

"the instructions which come with it are easy to follow but unfortunately only tell you about installing it & nothing about using it but i found this information on the web"

"only minor issue found so far is that one sd card of two wouldn't 'mount' meaning it required manually reformatting on my pc but was soon sorted and have had no further issues with it"

"we have a particularly awkward outdoor view and cannot see the gate or visitors without going outdoors and round the corner so i decided to be brave and try an outdoor camera although it did seem a bit sci fi and hi tech for our rather basic household"

"only let down is the motion detection it doesn't pick my 6ft frame up but does trigger with flies"

"it takes a lot to impress me and get a security device put into my smart home and this camera has ended a long painful search"

"i’ve only just found a busy electrician to fit my camera"

"i had some trouble connecting these cameras to my wi fi at 1st"

"so we had a spate of tyre damages to cars outside the house so decided to get a good quality night vision camera to use as a deterrent to further problems"

"i have positioned my camera to cover my front garden so i don't want false triggers from the road outside it was very simple to disable the image zones where i don't want a notification then the sensitivity was adjusted with a simple slider"

"easy enough to install but i’ve had constant problems with the cameras stopping functioning when the cards fills up you get no alert this has happened even though it’s supposed to reformat automatically"

"having a built in speaker on the camera is just a bit of fun so far"

"this is the first issue"

"the device is up to date and never gets unplugged"

"one slight negative is that the mounting screws provided were of a very poor quality"

"disgusting support!"

"only minor issue found so far is that one sd card of two wouldn't 'mount' meaning it required manually reformatting on my pc but was soon sorted and have had no further issues with it"

"downsides motion detection sensitivity in app is not great app could have better features but not the worst either no option to view on laptop pc the drill bit that came with it was really poor quality that broke in less then 10 seconds of using"

"you tighten up some grub screws after adjustment which holds the camera rock solid so there are no false motion detections due to camera wobble "

"i do understand that expecting the wifi to go through two outdoor brick walls is a big ask"

"looks like i was given a returned damaged item"

"this is my second netvue product after purchasing an indoor camera for our babies nursery and this product is just as if not more impressive"

"there is a delay in the live view on the echo comared to the app on galaxy note"

"as there have been a few dubious people around decided on this vigil camera to keep a check out"

"the motion detection issue is now with their research team and i am confident that they will come up with a solution to the sensitivity issue very quickly"

"our postman had a right scare when we suddenly spoke out from it"

"i wish the motion detection had daily settings for when its active and a greater number of squares to get a more defined area"

"after a while i worked out that the wireless mesh network in my house was a little adva ced for the wifi card in the camera"

"the second and more bothersome is that when i tried to access the sd files in my computer i figured that the video files are in a proprietary format!"

"installation outdoors was pretty easy and took a few small adjustments to get the perfect picture"

"firstly the power wire is woefully short limiting placement unless you add in extension cables"

"everything needed seems to be in the box even down to a masonary drill if you were mounting against brick"

"camera feels sturdy and solid has a built in mic to capture sound and also a speaker so you could even scare off unwanted visitors by talking into the app!"

"i would suggest that you carry most of step 4 with the included parts to weatherproof the ethernet connector unless i missed something "

"it was equally easy to pair it with alexa but the results are less satisfactory"

"my only quibble is that the aerial joint is not sufficiently stiff and the aerial flops around rather than standing upright"

"sound from the camera speaker is also good but useless for me as i have mounted the camera too high and cant hear it from the floor"

"installation to its location was easy and i only needed to use a small drill hole to feed the supplied power cable into an outdoor cable box where the power connection together with wifi and ethernet cable not being used in wifi set up and the camera was easily fitted into location a template was provided but i didn't use this"

"finally it’s not value for money and the motion detection when alerting gives a blank error which cannot be seen what it’s picked up"

"i will be buying a second camera 👍🏻 update after a few months: i left my previous review after the first week or so of having the camera after being bribed by netvue with 3 months free subscription to motion detection alerts"

"so this feature got turned off which is one of the reasons i wanted the camera it would notify that there was motion at my door i would ask alexa to show me the front door cam to see who it was then answer the door the whole process was to hit and miss and just takes too long by the time the video comes up the person would have left thinking there is nobody at home"

"the only shortcoming is the software which is limited for retrieving photos and videos from the sd card"

"slight issue with the large network cable as i had to drill a very large hole to get this mounted to the wall so that no cables were showing"

"the night vision is not very good but you still see so for me it’s awesome"

"having read previous reviews i thought very carefully about where i should position it to avoid a difficult installation"

"although a budget buy this camera does everything much more expensive cameras do and netvue appears responsive to customers in developing and improving its software"

"not normaly one who writes reviews however having purchased a number of alleged good external cameras all of which never came up to scratch as reviewed or advertised"

"don't waste your time"

"the camera does drop out of wifi so at times i cant see it on my phone but i've found that this doesn't mean it isn't working as the camera continues to record to the sd card when not connected to wifi so nothing is missed"

"it's younger sibling killed by the same update is going back on an amazon doa return"

"will definitely be buying netvue again if we need more"

"the support from netvue has recently been diabolical"

"i have used indoors netvue and they are great but i did not expect to be amazed by the quality of the outdoors one too"

"there’s also no web interface and support is definitely lacking"

"i have had cctv systems before that were far more expensive and was a little dubious about a camera at such a cheap price and thought that the quality would not be that good"

"by comparison the cheap camera that i replaced kept buffering and losing connection constantly"

"a real shame because when they first worked they were brilliant but they’ve clearly done something to the firmware that doesn’t play nice now"

"difficult to setup as it only works with 2"

"when this trial add on was removed from software the camera was completely disabled and had to return"

"best of all the power supply requirements are the same as my analogue system so they literally took minutes to swap over"

"but saying that think it would be the same or worse on any other camera"

"the picture quality with these is much better and i actually see the fact they don't record to a central box as a bonus no more hard drive failures!"

"i have had cctv systems before that were far more expensive and was a little dubious about a camera at such a cheap price and thought that the quality would not be that good"

"i have had a few videos which were unable to upload"

"and when it works it randomly goes into buffering every so often"

"have tried adjusting the sensitivity but can't get it to work properly but for a camera of this price i can't complain too much"

"the following reasons why i could not give it 5 stars: the speaker on the camera is very low level and even though it is installed just above head height you cannot be heard very clearly"

"bought this camera as i have a bad neighbour next to me who keeps damaging my property"

"i still need to play with the settings much more to get it all right as i am getting alerts for every drop of rain that falls at the moment and that’s on the lowest sensitivity setting"

"one subscription should cover more cameras not just one otherwise it gets too expensive"

"at night the problem was the opposite initially there was no motion detection as soon as it was dark although after a couple of weeks of emails back and forth to support they sent through new firmware which resolved this problem"

"which it really shouldn't be to be honest if i could be bothered to take the camera down and send it back i would but i really cant as it was a bit of a task getting it up"

"one thing i would like to say is that it would be nice to have a sealing plug if you are not going to hard wire the broadband side and just use the wifi as it leaves a tiny hole in the cable enterance"

"cover the camera in lens in something i taped a sock around it disconnect the end with the three mounting holes using the hex key provided hold the mount against the wall and drill three smaller holes with a 4mm drill bit take the mount away and open the holes up to fit the rawlplugs"

"you could fit a connection box outside instead of running cable through the wall"

"motion sensor is temperamental wont record our car parking pretty large subject image but will record endless hours of rain"

"the second and more bothersome is that when i tried to access the sd files in my computer i figured that the video files are in a proprietary format!"

"if you need a cost effective way to monitor your home minimal affect on the wifi check from anywhere and has a speaker for interactions with home for example asking someone to leave a parcel somewhere safe "

"installation is not straightforward because you will need a very large hole in wall to pass cable assembly through"

"my only quibble is that the aerial joint is not sufficiently stiff and the aerial flops around rather than standing upright"

"two minor issues though"

"i’ve recently bought several of these netvue 1080p outdoor security cameras as my existing ones from another maker were very unreliable and constantly dropped their wi fi connections"

"one slight negative is that the mounting screws provided were of a very poor quality"

"as soon as is possible this useless ornament will be taken down and replaced with something that actually works!"

"i got the outdoor camera because a number of dogs have gone missing out of peoples gardens and as my house has a dirt road at the side i’m always nervous that one of my fur babies might get stolen"

"already used footage for an incident i did have a problem where just after the time the firmware updates the camera failed i opened a chat at 8am and gave the problem to customer services who passed to technical services who by 9"

"i tried live chat and didn't get anywhere"

"have attached photo in this review"

"night vision is as about as good as ir can get and at this price point it's extremely hard to beat"

"you have to download a small player they made i found in netvue forum and it's awful!"

"killed by the update "

"i'm using a 128gb micro sd card playback is of a high quality and unbroken"

"i’m not using cloud but i am using the sd card the card formats while installed and for a couple of days i’m able to use the camera fine and watch back recordings but then i’m not able to view recordings unless i join cloud for a fee of course"

"for the price paid the camera is excellent i did look around and all the other camera's where more expensive so far i am very pleased the camera picture day or night is excellent and the piece of mind i get from seeing what is going on around my property is great i do live in a very remote area and therefore no traffic passes my house just the occasional rambler"

"cover the camera in lens in something i taped a sock around it disconnect the end with the three mounting holes using the hex key provided hold the mount against the wall and drill three smaller holes with a 4mm drill bit take the mount away and open the holes up to fit the rawlplugs"

"only issue advice is so mount it too high as the spiders are always making webs on the camera and this also can trigger off motion alerts if u have this set up"

"only issue advice is so mount it too high as the spiders are always making webs on the camera and this also can trigger off motion alerts if u have this set up"

"it does work without the cloud subscription but motion detection is rubbish all the time"

"the camera itself isn't bad by any means and especially for £40 however the biggest fault i have with it is the connection and even though i have a wifi extender literally less than 4 metres away from the camera really the connection is still garbage half the time it says the camera isn't on which is rubbish because i know it's on it's just the connection is so terrible"

"my only quibble is that the aerial joint is not sufficiently stiff and the aerial flops around rather than standing upright"

"the unit showed a solid green light so apparently all connected but the app said the camera is offline"

"but it is not designed to be a high end 8 mega pixel camera with all the transmission and storage issues that you would come up against"

"but the delay is so long"

"cannot fault this bullet cam"

"after a stream of emails to support i am now returning my dead original unit"

"for the price of this camera i would not hesitate to recommend it"

"i have had cctv systems before that were far more expensive and was a little dubious about a camera at such a cheap price and thought that the quality would not be that good"

"this really is just a case of trial and error and the app offers sensitivity adjustments so you can have it exactly as you want it"

"however there is no way to stop recording except by pulling out the power plug which seems a bit brutal the app should provide for this to prevent file corruption i did try disconnecting power the sd card seemed ok and successfully re mounted on restoring power"

"my only quibble it that the camera is not poe"

"are equally good in many ways but don't record continously"

"also to subscribe to the motion data as the camera doesn't always get a photo of the trigger but will record it!"

"unfortunately even after 2 months i didn't receive the free 64gb sd card as mentioned in the package i received after claiming even no reply to my 2 emails"

"compact camera but as this model has an ethernet plug on it you have to drill at least a 12mm hole to get the cable through the wall lots of teething problems but the online chat is instant and they always seem to fix the issues but i'd rather it just ran seamlessly than have any pro lems like dropped signal etc or a tf card that has worked perfectly well in the camera for 2 weeks suddenly is no longer recognised"

"well i've now set it up outside and had tried it on wi fi and on internet cable also as i have a fire stick and alex's i did link it to there account on a good note it works well with the app on a good but bad point as i did not adjust my settings but turned on motion detection it was cool for the first"

"i have unfortunately ended up with a lan connection to my router but as i said earlier this may be my internet supplier issues"

"a real shame because when they first worked they were brilliant but they’ve clearly done something to the firmware that doesn’t play nice now"

"however there is no way to stop recording except by pulling out the power plug which seems a bit brutal the app should provide for this to prevent file corruption i did try disconnecting power the sd card seemed ok and successfully re mounted on restoring power"

"months on still regular problems when it should just work it's unreliable bottom line in a product where reliability is critical we had an issue with car break inns and low and behold despite paying for the 24 7 service"

"one criticism would be the leads should be detachable to get through smaller holes"

"4ghz not 5ghz"

"well i've now set it up outside and had tried it on wi fi and on internet cable also as i have a fire stick and alex's i did link it to there account on a good note it works well with the app on a good but bad point as i did not adjust my settings but turned on motion detection it was cool for the first"

"every day i contact nevue to be told that their “engineers are working on a fix” but that’s been four days now with no progress so i’m sending these back for a refund"

"an sd card not included is required to store images video including motion detection although a paid cloud service is available"

"the motion detection issue is now with their research team and i am confident that they will come up with a solution to the sensitivity issue very quickly"

"but i went to my hubs user login on internet explorer and turned the 5g off so it could connect to the 2"

"had to go through the process twice but it didn’t take long"

"to get footage you need to get a ladder and climb the ladder to the camera unscrew it all to get to the memory card take the memory out put it into your pc get the footage you need then go back up the ladder put the memory card back in screw all the camera back together and as your doing all this your"

"however there is no way to stop recording except by pulling out the power plug which seems a bit brutal the app should provide for this to prevent file corruption i did try disconnecting power the sd card seemed ok and successfully re mounted on restoring power"

"can't really go wrong for the price"

"i recently brought the homecam indoor secuirty cam from the same seller last month and had a few problems with it and these got resolved really well and rapidly because of this i decided to buy a new camera for the outside secuirty of my house"

"my only real criticism is that i would like more control over scheduling the motion detection and they do not work with iftt"

"i was looking for a easy install camera for a while now that would not brake the bank and then my friend showed me the netvue he has i was shocked when he told me how much he payed and all the features the camera qualty is amzing with the movement notafication sent to your phone so you know where ever"

"compact camera but as this model has an ethernet plug on it you have to drill at least a 12mm hole to get the cable through the wall lots of teething problems but the online chat is instant and they always seem to fix the issues but i'd rather it just ran seamlessly than have any pro lems like dropped signal etc or a tf card that has worked perfectly well in the camera for 2 weeks suddenly is no longer recognised"

"you can view the cameras live without signing up to any storage or buying an sd card from the app but you wont be able to record the footage so bare this in mind"

"i wanted this to monitor our back garden as we've had some items "removed" recently and i am delighted with how easy it was to setup and use"

"if the 12v power cord is cut then that's the end of your camera security as there is no battery back up"

"having being a victim of crime and searching the internet for a good but reasonably priced outdoor camera i can honesty say i am pleased with this product"

"bought this camera as i have a bad neighbour next to me who keeps damaging my property"

"so we had a spate of tyre damages to cars outside the house so decided to get a good quality night vision camera to use as a deterrent to further problems"

"what i did not like about it was the setup"

"but now the camera is pointless constantly showing off line constantly needing to format the sd card do not buy this camera!"

"so long as your cameras will be close to your router then it should be fine"

"i had some doing work in my garage while i was away in another country and i was able to view and speak clearly with the"

"the camera whilst working was a fairly good product for the price paid the problem & the reason of the low rating is due to the customer support while the support for set up alone was good the issue with support for returning a faulty unit is a complete nightmare"

"no instructions with the camera at all but good website and it appears they have good customer service but i haven't needed it yet!"

"the only slight frustration is that there is large bunch of cables out of the camera body which are redundant if you are using as a wireless device"

"i was sceptical of the signal and thought i'd have issues with the wifi signal dropping out"

"no matter which ever way i tried it would just not stay connected"

"what i did find good that the camera came with all screws wall plugs a masonry drill bit and a hex key to adjust the direction of the camera"

"however there is no way to stop recording except by pulling out the power plug which seems a bit brutal the app should provide for this to prevent file corruption i did try disconnecting power the sd card seemed ok and successfully re mounted on restoring power"

"only hicup is with the alexa app i could not get it to add the skill but when i logged in via netvue on the computer and logged in via a password password reset and not facebook it logged it in and now all working"

"live view works fine which makes it even more disappointing"

"i thought the picture quality would be rubbish but it's really not"

"not sure on cloud and motion upgrade costs as seems a bit excessive but haven’t looked in to this yet"

"you can however scroll back in time and record for whatever period you want as long as you do it before it is overwritten"

"i'm not using motion detection yet because i wanted this primarily to be able to see who is at the front door so i cannot comment on that"

"whatever had blocked the camera reporting in was fixed by the reboot and the camera went live it was also a lot more responsive through the app so my router was the problem here"

"cloud service don’t work as described gives me 100+ notifications that my cat is running around but can’t detect no humans see pictures no marker for humans"

"get in seconds a warning on my iphone and can see what is happening"

"good product and no need for expensive subscriptions either :"

"so this feature got turned off which is one of the reasons i wanted the camera it would notify that there was motion at my door i would ask alexa to show me the front door cam to see who it was then answer the door the whole process was to hit and miss and just takes too long by the time the video comes up the person would have left thinking there is nobody at home"

"i don't need the ethernet option but would be useful to those with weak wifi signal great addition!"

"without the costly addons the camera is rubbish in my opinion"

"u still get motion alerts while not subscribing"

"you can zoom into the image on te phone app but the resolution falls off pretty fast as this is only 1080"

"not good not good at all"

"first problem: it seems that each video file is 10 minutes long but there are some space between them some seconds that don't get recorded at all"

"i was delighted after i replaced a defective similar unit from another brand because this device behaved exactly as advertised"

"using the app each stage of the set up is clearly explained and supported by a short demonstration video"

"my only issue is the three cables hanging out of the back of it makes it a little more difficult to install"

"you tighten up some grub screws after adjustment which holds the camera rock solid so there are no false motion detections due to camera wobble "

"i really wanted it to film across my whole driveway but that's more down to me putting the camera in the wrong place"

"connecting to router bt hub was a little frustrating but i expected that as bt is dual banded"

"it has been having trouble loading the live feed but i sure it is a blip and am going to contact customer support if the problem persists"

"pretty easy to set up and worked well for a couple of weeks and then following a firmware update the cameras have been completely useless"

"camera isn't perfect though and a few things could be better might even be the app and not the camera to be honest"

"i made the mistake of cutting the network plug off to help feed the wire through thinking i wouldn't need it as i was using wireless"

"have tried contacting their customer service but received no reply so will try and get a refund somehow"

"actual time attaching camera and cables was minutes only"

"easily hear the birds from back of the house"

"as to the camera once initial issues sorted probably due wifi dropping off without me knowing it is excellent"

"bit of a con showing the camera fitted flush against the wall with no wires showing"

"so therefore i returned it"

"i don't often write reviews but i am quite impressed with this camera"

"i got this one for my back way as there have been some crimes in some other back ways so just like the fact its keeping a eye on my home while i go to work pros easy to set up and helpful app cons just can cut out some times for no reson and picture can be a bit hard to see sometimes but that could be times of the day would get other one for my front way aswell"

"i did have one fail on me recently after 6 months"

"cons: large holes required for installation"

"4ghz wireless not a 5"

"support says that 128gb cards no longer work"

"it is the ethernet socket that determins the size!"

"quite why they didn't do this in the first place i will never know"

"showing 97% signal in the app with no buffering"

"despite what anyone says it will not necessarily be easy to fit"

"4ghz if you don't do this it may be difficult to connect you can switch 5ghz back on after its connected"

"picked up car headlights even though in “blocked” area"

"i've been searching a long time for home security camera's with two way audio to replace my outside ip camera's that don't have audio"

"but cloud storage solves this issue"

"our postman had a right scare when we suddenly spoke out from it"

"without the costly addons the camera is rubbish in my opinion"

"you can view anywhere not just when you are on the same local network"

"lots of choices in settings i haven't explored yet"

"this bullet style camera is approx £75 cheaper than my hikvision!"

"please don’t change "

"set up on these cameras couldn't be easier"

"however using the camera to monitor outside motion is hit and miss and certainly not effective with the infra red camera as the light reflects off the windows at night"

"it is beyond frustrating especially when something has been stolen off your driveway which has happened this morning only to find nothing was recorded!"

"even a drill bit for drilling the holes for mounting the camera"

"another desireable feature of the netvue software is that it allows ‘sharing’ this enables me to share all the camera features with my wife and as such she also can manage the settings and receive notifications from the motion alarm"

"i’d like to connect this to my own nas drive or eyespy software but ip address access is not allowed"

"4ghz was better did have trouble connecting to a wifi extender did away with that so eliminated the problem"

"the camera connection has 3 quite bulky wires which would need a really big hole to bring inside"

"this means you only have to drill a small hole through the wall for the power cable and into the back of the junction box"

"at first these seem great but as time wears on they become more and more unreliable"

"i thought the microphone and speaker were going to be a waste of time but i can clearly hear anyone talking at my front door"

"as it wasn't connecting for me they sent a solution to get an update through but still wasn't working"

"a complete waste of money"

"picture attached is taken in total darkness so very good night vision"

"very disappointed"

"there seems to be a time delay this is a wee bit frustrating"

"i have been using it for over a month now and it works fine no problems at all it is a very good camera but my only gripe with it is you have to use it with the phone app so you can't link it to another security camera system such as onvif"

"my only issue is that you cannot control the camera movement via alexa however you simply just have to open the app and there you go"

"i would like to see a free cloud service like some others offer but it again is not a major issue when local recording can take place anyway"

"on all occasions it was user error and they helped me understand what i needed to do"

"this one is as good as any of the other more expensive ones with the added bonus of working off a usb power pack if needed"

"later on the only problem i had was with the timer"

"i've only had one connection issue and that was on its first day re did connection and had 24 7 cover and streaming since"

"it doesn't pick motion up very well the cloud storage with wansview is very expensive compared to others and its night vision is atrocious"

"this is done on the wansview servers and so far i have not had any false alarms even though it is pointed at our front door with a large glass window beside it so after checking other cameras on amazon i decided to invest in another wansview this time the q5 which is at a very good price"

"i like the motion detector and also like to have a different brand from my alarm system so i can rely on two different systems to be sure there are no false alerts"

"i’d like to see a smoother pan on the camera which is very choppy but this can be rectified until a fix is released by setting up the 4 favourite positions which then fixes this issue so for me it’s not a major problem and of course doesn’t stop the normal pan tilt action"

"i can’t afford the cloud storage so i haven't tried the free trial only to have it disappear at the end of the trial period"

"the only negative is that i haven't been able to find a way of sending the recordings onto someone else"

"ive not had any connection issues and the picture is clear and solid and night vision works well"

"the nice long power cable and various sets of fixings meant that i could ceiling mount it and the app has a feature whereby you can then flip the picture so that it is the right way up"

"don't waste your money on alarm systems that no one takes notice of"

"should there be any unwelcome visitors their images will be captured remotely to my phone"

"there is also a slight delay when adjusting camera positioning manually but again that's expectable and acceptable"

"i have not used the sd card recording or subscribed to the cloud service"

"the ip camera works as it should has a mobile app and various functions like many modern ip there is a cloud option etc etc this camera was quite a cheap camera so i didn't expect much but i was pleasantly surprised out of all of the cameras i got this is the only one not going to the bin"

"the wansview picture showed up on screen with 3 dots showing it was trying to connect"

"i’ve tried endlessly but could not get this camera up and running very disappointed even signed up for the monthly plan but made no difference i’m going to return as it’s completely useless"

"absolute waste of time"

"device was a total waste of money and i would not recommend it to anyone"

"absolute garbage i have tried contacting customer service twice now with no success"

"first normal then infrared and the last is through a glass window note: it's raining so looks quite dull"

"i find this quite annoying as i have been using other cameras without problems in the contacam software for several years!"

"i've used other brands previously and had an awful experience"

"i must be really unlucky compared to all the other reviewers"

"this is a terrible camera"

"the video lags behind by several seconds not a problem for baby monitor but if you use the 2 way talk it gets difficult because of the lag"

"personally my dog just looks around and then gets bored"

"my old wired foscam has an ip address a built in webserver and sends emails albeit using old protocols which will eventually make it inaccessible externally "

"the video quality is very bad and worst"

"i would recommend that potential buyers think carefully as to whether thes cameras fullfill their requirements"

"when it works it's quite good with a good picture though using the voice part or moving it makes it immediately run really slow and its already quite slow"

"ok not to worry cancel storage but wait checked email and have been charged for a years worth of storage non refundable"

"i have deleted the camera off the app and attempted to reset and reconnect but it seems the reset button doesnt work either"

"i receive so many false error alarms each day i'm going crazy"

"however after a few days i kept getting error messages and the camera wouldn’t connect"

"i’d like to firstly say it was not obvious that there is a memory card slot that is under the lens and instructions were not clear"

"the only problem i had was that the camera has a closed rtsp port so i cannot use it with the hardware provided by my existing camera recording service provider however for £20 this camera will still come in use and i will also trial the wansview cloud service to see how it compares to my existing provider"

"another issue i’ve encountered using an iphone 8 is when using the app to view the camera image the app freezes and it is very difficult to close the app"

"only small issue i experienced was the initial setup as there were some issues with the conpanion app and wifi"

"that one took me less than 90 seconds to setup as i was familiar with the process can't really fault them so far!"

"i initially bought this camera to monitor my pets as mysterious scratches were appearing on the dining room table reading wansview website they said their cameras were onvif compliant so would work with blueiris which i already have with outside cameras so no need for their cloud storage and all cameras in one place"

"i wanted a webcam for my computer this is some ridiculous service which takes an age to set up and after youve done it makes you agree to sign up for some service what service?"

"there is only a second or 2 difference between the camera and your phone viewing so absolutely fine though the sound on mine isn't great you can understand what is being said so it's not a massive problem and it seems to be intermittent so may be some kind of interference from something electrical in my home or next door on the camera side"

"● cost = 10 10 ● set up = 10 10 dose not need a good fantastic wifi signal but dose need a fair signal like all wifi products ● fixing fitting product to areas = 10 10 all fixings come with each camera only need a screw driver and power socket close by there is an approximately 1"

"then it suddenly freezes and it pings back to a few hours before to footage i’ve already viewed it’s so annoying i couldn’t believe it"

"ad states q5 has a microsd slot: false advertising!"

"another disappointing factor is you can only change the position of the camera from the app and not from amazon echo show"

"once the app had been downloaded it was all plain sailing"

"if you are experiencing problems with earlier versions of the android app i recommend deleting it and loading the latest app version"

"plugged back in and reset the camera to factory settings and continued to set it up again and it was working fine for a few hours and then the internet drops again"

"the instructions are misleading you do not have to use the cloud but the micro sd card will only work for a limited time then wont be recognised and wont let you format it so that function is totally useless"

"i was concerned when i read about the fake reviews but was attracted by the price and knew i could always send it back if it's rubbish"

"i had a foscam indoor camera a few years ago which was a nightmare to set up and it crashed frequently"

"customer support has been in touch for updates after a slow start their response has been good"

"footage we found video it from a diff device of device app is on works well also another issues we found when playing footage back and camera is being moved on video it’s very noisy but would def but again def worth the money"

"get notifications on my mobile of motion can be helpful but sometimes the delay is too long if it was security issue"

"the phone app is very good but the win10 pc app really doesn't work"

"they have passed on suggestion for location based activation of alerts and also ability to snooze alerts to the development team for the money this camera is a no brainer and i plan to buy more for my house"

"you can't view these with a web browser or third party software such as ispyconnect"

"i have two older wansview cameras which are very reliable and never drop off the network and when a camera of a different make failed recently i bought the q5"

"i had little problem with paypal payments i’m not really using it often "

"i also cannot view when i’m not connected to the same internet as the camera any tips for this as the instructions were seriously lacking 🤦‍♀️"

"the two way communication is pretty useful for catching little rascals who are up to mischief"

"the micro sd card slot is very discreet and hidden meaning that it would be hard for a potential burglar to take out there are however some minor flaws: the microphone sounds rather poor"

"i had little problem with paypal payments i’m not really using it often "

"when i installed them i found that they were unreliable prompting me to read the amazon reviews varying from totally useless listing the problems i was experiencing to absolutely brilliant"

"i have set it on the lowest alert setting and it still detects small motions when i am sat using my computer on my desk"

"i cannot recommend this product it seems very outdated compared to my old motorola i had a couple of years ago which was of similar price as this one"

"these then sit on your phone till you delete them"

"only slight annoying thing is the clicking sound when night vision turns on off at dusk apart from that brilliant"

"another issue i’ve encountered using an iphone 8 is when using the app to view the camera image the app freezes and it is very difficult to close the app"

"all in all pretty useless even with cloud storage this is the same"

"i can't find fault with anything"

"went through all trouble shooting and stil can't get it to connect back to my wi fi"

"this will save me many unnecessary visits to the hall"

"dislikes : app is dreadful read reviews as to why on the app store motion detection only captures 10 seconds of video unless you pay monthly camera only works from its own app"

"i must say that i was quite worried about the negative reviews and the positive ones were too good to be true however since it was the cheaper that specified to meet my requirements i went for it"

"i have bought the wansview camera so that i can monitor the boiler from home and see that it has not gone into fault mode"

"clunky interface for moving camera"

"if i could give this zero stars i would but there is no option"

"the cable was too short & caused a fault"

"had a minor technical problem with one of the cameras but customer support were really quick to reply and quickly resolved my issue"

"very functional app and control"

"the app is difficult to use to find a recording due to an innovative timeline scroll which responds very slow"

"the app is very simplistic but still has everything you need you can also take photos of the live feed via the app"

"all that for this price is just plain crazy"

"i do have some niggles which i will describe here"

"i pleased to dash i haven’t experienced any crashes or bugs in the application so am happy with that"

"why the hell is it so bloody difficult to just set them up"

"even the pan–tilt–zoom function is laggy & inaccurate"

"the main problem i've found is with the software"

"like the exterior cameras i struggled to install using the qr code but to be honest the manual setup is so easy it doesn't matter"

"wish i never wasted my money!"

"but most of the time this is irrelevant because it wont connect"

"viewing inside the house would not cause problems"

"notifications are quiet intrusive but can be silenced"

"you can schedule when you want to receive 'alerts' i do this 11:00pm 6:00am so that when i wake up i can see if anything has happened but if you don't want alerts you can just go into the app and see if theres been any movement recently"

"when we had a problem with motion alerts sandra at customer service was very quick to reply to emails and kept me informed every step of the way"

"the micro sd card slot is very discreet and hidden meaning that it would be hard for a potential burglar to take out there are however some minor flaws: the microphone sounds rather poor"

"when it arrived it never worked"

"generally it is good but sometimes it loses connection usually at a time you need it most"

"i returned this"

"i am the manager of a community building which has an unreliable boiler"

"the zoom on the video and photos are great too zoom on video only works while video is playing but the photo zoom would definitely be court room evidence quality"

"had a little trouble at first but they do sort problems out quickly and send upgrades for the system"

"the video lags behind by several seconds not a problem for baby monitor but if you use the 2 way talk it gets difficult because of the lag"

"this happens seamlessly as long as you have a wi fi connection to the camera if this is lost for some reason it does not record if a firmware upgrade was possible to resolve this it would make the camera even better so this is really the only negative point i have overall for the price i don’t think this camera can be beaten or at least i haven’t found one so far!"

"this is crazy it's only been under 2 months and it's playing up already"

"wanted this camera to keep an eye in my toddler's room using the new echo show5"

"since the camera has a direct connection to your network you don’t have to worry about security risks"

"you can pan tilt remotely but recommend muting the app first as the motor makes a very loud noise"

"had inition instilation issue!"

"so now i have no reliable connection to camera which loses wifi all the time i have been charged for storage i do not need and could not cancel and have purchased 2 sd cards and a wifi extender"

"screenshot and zoom in case you’re interested i think i’ll end up repositioning the camera to get the best view of the space but the picture quality and camera operation are great"

"restart via app would not work"

"although the onboard micro sd is discretely hidden away the camera could be subject to destruction or theft"

"once i had set it up and downloaded the wansview app it soon became clear that it wasn't for me"

"sending back do not even bother to order this rubbish exploitation"

"i have had this camera for over a month now and i use this to keep an eye on my two recently purchased bull terrier puppies"

"there are not many options you can modify but then if you want to be able to tweak this that and the other then you'll be needing to buy a much higher spec camera at a much higher price"

"another feature i like is the setup of preset positions showing a little thumbnail of where you set it up clicking on the thumbnail takes the camera straight to that position"

"great little gadget"

"i’ve thrown out the box as cake on bin day or would be returning"

"however when i then signed out of the app it would not allow me back in as my email and password ‘were not consistent’"

"i had high hopes for this camera after reading the reviews but after countless problems and it constantly restarting my internet connection every few minutes i had to plug it out and do some troubleshooting"

"unfortunately although the picture quality and zoom was excellent i'm afraid the motion capture didn't quite reach"

"to insert just pan the lens ball upwards to review the sd card slot and push in with the contacts downwards until it clicks and holds the card inside"

"they are silent in operation so can be used without disturbing anyone"

"when connected the ssid can then be hidden again"

"i cancelled all my future prescriptions payments and will be returning the camera"

"i've been through about 4 cameras some cheaper some more expensive but they all seem to remove the capability to use the ip camera for sharing on devices like splitcam for those wanting to use it on streaming sites"

"nicely built tricky to connect but just follow the instructions and it works"

"amazon you need to tighten up on questionable reviews!"

"i would never recommend this and i am bitterly disappointed and would suggest to others to really research what you are paying for"

"obviously no use for remote supervision of the premises"

"somehow after few months it stopped working"

"one minor limitation on only 4 accounts can access it"

"wansview camera really just rating the purchasing and returning experience as unfortunately the camera i received didn't work!"

"this is not something i am not complaining however as it reassures you to know what when it comes to an event which you want surveillance of it will definitely capture the footage"

"i had many issues in the beginning and had to install and reinstall a few times"

"after reading some clearly fake reviews and some negative ones i still decided to buy this product as one thing i did not see was a negative review on network security"

"it doesn't want to stay connected and sometimes i have to manually restart for it to comeback on line again : this device is clunky the panning around the room is a joke it either zooms around and just doesn't connect with the fingertip control"

"drips off all the time"

"i haven't signed up for the storage as the motion detection and the app gives you a couple of days anyway and if you view it via the app you can save it forever on your phone but if you are going away and wont be using your phone and app a tech free holiday if such a thing exists then you can have that added option when signing up knowing that the images are stored ready for when you get back"

"there have been a few occasions when the camera has missed motion and therefore i have been unable to view what happened during this period"

"there was a small delay in the device recognising the qr code from my mobile device when syncing but that was probably due the privacy screen on my iphone"

"it will be 2:30pm but i will get an alert for 6:26am but there is nothing there i am also now unable to save any of the alert videos to my phone it just doesn't save it and if it does it tells me there is no video to view"

"the app is brilliant and opens almost instantly to view via the cloud which this camera uses"

"wansview camera really just rating the purchasing and returning experience as unfortunately the camera i received didn't work!"

"the wansview g5 ticked all the boxes: wifi connectivity local and or cloud storage remote viewing via the app or a website motorised remote control of the field of view microphone and speaker so i can scare anyone aboard excellent picture quality"

"loses a little quality but you can still make out what's happening"

"i think the positive reviews for this product could be fake"

"connecting to the camera from the app can take up to 10 seconds and video sound feed is delayed around 8 seconds"

"dont buy this camera!"

"i’d like to see a smoother pan on the camera which is very choppy but this can be rectified until a fix is released by setting up the 4 favourite positions which then fixes this issue so for me it’s not a major problem and of course doesn’t stop the normal pan tilt action"

"pan tilt control with dual motors 360 degree panorama viewing angle night vision function two way audio with internal microphone and speaker"

"either because he moves and alerts me or i'm just being nosey and wondering why he isnt moving"

"when i installed them i found that they were unreliable prompting me to read the amazon reviews varying from totally useless listing the problems i was experiencing to absolutely brilliant"

"we only use the camera for real time viewing and an occasional of photo or video"

"i also aren't keen on the colour during the day grass shows as pink but this isn't too much of a concern"

"giving me the answer i needed and reporting the issue which resulted in a firmware update within 2 days fixing the problem"

"no issues logging into the camera when remote"

"i really dislike this product"

"my friend bought one as well and has the same problems"

"i have two older wansview cameras which are very reliable and never drop off the network and when a camera of a different make failed recently i bought the q5"

"these are minor gripes indeed"

"the support via email was great and it just required some updating after contacting them to unlock the rtsp function so it might take a couple of days if this is what you need make sure you install the camera and it is online for them to access it and upgrade the camera software but despite not being standard this option is there where other companies just fobbed me off this camera they were very helpful"

"disappointed with this"

"the video lags behind by several seconds not a problem for baby monitor but if you use the 2 way talk it gets difficult because of the lag"

"sometimes it takes a little patience for the wifi connection to take place but once set up there should be no further hassle and you can keep track of the camera via any ios or android device with the app installed"

"i’ve tried endlessly but could not get this camera up and running very disappointed even signed up for the monthly plan but made no difference i’m going to return as it’s completely useless"

"i think the term "wireless" should be removed from the title since it does need to be plugged in to work so isn't actually wireless"

"now free storage not accessible user name and password on wansview site different from camera login and also different from storage login"

"i was concerned when i read about the fake reviews but was attracted by the price and knew i could always send it back if it's rubbish"

"connected and then lost signal"

"went back onto mine and my phone was no longer listed "

"cons: the video can be a big laggy sometimes"

"after a slight hiccup getting the q5 connected to the wifi as i'd mislaid the instructions and hadn't left the q5 pointing at the qr code long enough during which wansview's customer services were very attentive everything is working fine"

"the lens adjustment on the app can take a bit to respond but it makes this cute creaky noise when it does lol"

"contrary to some reviews here there is an sd card slot it’s on the vertical axis of the lens so tilt the lens upwards and you will find the slot"

"there is nothing at all i can fault and this camera gives us confidence when going out and watching what the puppy is up too : thank you"

"installation was very easy i installed 3 separate cameras in her flat in around 15 mins"

"they send convoluted link to cancel storage which is well hidden on the website and storage sites these are two different sites b the way "

"the camera is pointing at my gate it also doesn’t record properly don’t know if that’s to do with a faulty sd card?"

"more come if nobody is there to scare them off and it works well for that"

"can't comment on the android app as it will not run on my 5 yr old android phone previously an lg flagship model not a cheap clone "

"38 am when both me and my partner were asleep"

"i cannot fault these cameras"

"my only gripe is that the connection is often laggy but that could be due to my network"

"the camera appears to be cheap but you will need to subscribe to cloud at £60 yr to use this camera"

"you want to end up with something that you can get additional charge of £65 for using it this is the right product for you!"

"the ability to save recorded files both locally via micro sd and also a cloud option is a plus too where a lot of other cameras have only cloud options and at a hefty monthly cost"

"3 there is no option to make the motion alerts active inactive based on your location this would be a neat feature as although you can schedule hours of operation these can change based on your day to day routines i emailed their support re points 2 and 3 and was impressed to get a very prompt answer"

"cheap chinese rubbish i'm afraid"

"more expensive did not mean better i had a more expensive one and it had the most limited functions of all of them"

"you can hang it upside down and the settings let you flip the image so everything works great"

"i wasn't expecting amazing quality as it was just to watch over the dog crate but i can't recommend a product that refuses to work"

"with the registration problem sorted the software simply works and does what it needs to do"

"cons night time image is poor however this is to do with aiming the camera out of a window it suffers with ir glare however if there is a light source outside still functions well enough"

"i’m getting very reliable motion detection can play back from the sd card set up camera with pan and tilt and set the viewing position to a favourite so if i pan tilt just hit favourite and it will return to your favourite position i haven’t tried using camera with alexa i’ve set it up but haven’t found a reason to try it yet so can’t comment on if it’s good or not at the moment i can’t fault the camera or app"

"many thanks miss k doore"

"after reading some clearly fake reviews and some negative ones i still decided to buy this product as one thing i did not see was a negative review on network security"

"the one minor hurdle to installing the camera was that i needed to switch my mobile phone over to the 2"

"the software is sufficient for monitoring your home at times the camera movements can be a little sluggish in terms of response to your gestures but simply tapping in the direction you wish to move seems to work better than holding your finger on the arrow"

"it was really a very bad experience to buy this product"

"would not recomend"

"there's a windows and a mac viewer software on the wansview website i've not managed to get the mac one to work unfortunately but the windows one seems ok my only criticisms are that if you log in on the desktop software it then logs you out of the phone app and vice versa"

"i asked to return because i was sick and delay 1 days and not allowed to return it is unfair"

"the only thing i don’t get along with rather than dislike is that on the app when you rotate the camera the lag can be annoying or maybe it’s too sensitive?"

"microphone and speaker output was very clear"

"you can turn the night vision off so you don’t get the infra red glare on your window if you’re using it on a window ledge looking out onto your garden it’s relatively easy to set up"

"many problems with customer services befor so none of the cameras worked as described and they had a very long delay time feature that made them inseficiant to the sellers claim i would never purchase one from the companny again"

"you can't view your memory card recordings unless you are viewing from the same internet connection so you can't view recordings away from home on your phone like i can with my other camera"

"keep going offline and not working making it useless"

"footage we found video it from a diff device of device app is on works well also another issues we found when playing footage back and camera is being moved on video it’s very noisy but would def but again def worth the money"

"i was more than a bit dubious about the purchase of the wansview q5"

"i’ve seen some negative reviews but they are wrong"

"brought this just to monitor my autistic child at night and olaying with his older brother as he needs constant to protecting from harming himself and his brother"

"the app gave good instructions during setup and after a few weeks of operation haven’t had any issues with the software"

"the software is sufficient for monitoring your home at times the camera movements can be a little sluggish in terms of response to your gestures but simply tapping in the direction you wish to move seems to work better than holding your finger on the arrow"

"installed wansview phone app and camera worked fine but delay in image meant real time detection was lagging"

"there is a speaker to allow two way communication but the quality of the speaker isn't great but definitely not an issue"

"as money is generally tight i’m now left with this piece of equipment i’m going to have to sell on"

"many problems with customer services befor so none of the cameras worked as described and they had a very long delay time feature that made them inseficiant to the sellers claim i would never purchase one from the companny again"

"if you are thinking in the same way you might be wrong as well"

"night vision is in real time colour and you can turn off the light to stop the glare"

"i’d like to see a smoother pan on the camera which is very choppy but this can be rectified until a fix is released by setting up the 4 favourite positions which then fixes this issue so for me it’s not a major problem and of course doesn’t stop the normal pan tilt action"

"my other wansview cameras have the ability to nominate an area to respond to the motion detection and ignore the rest but i have not been able to find out how to do this with this camera so not even sure if its possible"

"these drop outs can last from a few minutes to a few days"

"images are grainy and the audio is very tinny"

"working with wansview support they identified and corrected several issues and the latest version of the app v1"

"it also isn't made clear that there is no alternative to configuring the camera via the ios android app there is no way of configuring via a pc or direct via a web interface even though the camera presents a local wifi network and allows devices to connect and appears to have a web server which simply replys "403 forbidden" "

"ok i get up in the morning and my garden gate is always open someone is opening it i don’t know why or if they’re coming onto my property or what they’re doing and it’s annoying and worrying me"

"put in your wifi password blah de blah de blah"

"instructions were limited and basic and not too hard to work out no option for uk so go with the dublin choice for set up"

"this is a flippin' joke"

"the actual camera only moves when you move it manually on your phone and does not naturally track movement"

"it seems to be very accurate maybe too accurate"

"personally i will not invest in this companies products again as i did not find it reliable"

"now free storage not accessible user name and password on wansview site different from camera login and also different from storage login"

"wansview not only met my needs as a truck driver that’s able to monitor my vulnerable mum miles away i also take my mum to dementia clinics and have recommended these cameras to all the other concerned family members of other going through the same anxieties as our family was but no more thanks wansview"

"i haven’t used the night vision or motion detection in this application so can’t rate them but i am intending to buy at least one q5 for my own home and i want to trial the outdoor w4 camera down at the hall to monitor the car park area"

"it's a scam"

"my advice to those that have had a bad experience is to try again and follow the setup instructions to the letter"

"the camera motor does have a lag"

"4 ghz any other frequency was not possible to connect"

"keep it bloody simple"

"cons night time image is poor however this is to do with aiming the camera out of a window it suffers with ir glare however if there is a light source outside still functions well enough"

"i set mine so that outdoor events like car headlights birds and waving trees did not alert"

"the app is simple to control and full of useful features the one thing i have a nag about is family members are not able to view video clips that are saved just screenshots but apart from that it’s"

"there's a windows and a mac viewer software on the wansview website i've not managed to get the mac one to work unfortunately but the windows one seems ok my only criticisms are that if you log in on the desktop software it then logs you out of the phone app and vice versa"

"after a faulty camera which was sent back i was sent a replacement camera and contacted by their customer service by email they did really want to assist or so i thought!"

"camera is getting a bit warm after some timw of usage but it doesn't make it inoperable"

"it’s a relaxing image to have on the tv when we’re in the room and not using it for programmes and the picture quality is very good the only small problem being slight reflection from the glass as it is viewing outside from inside the house"

"for me it loses a couple of stars because of that 10 sec recording issue"

"android app refuses to launch without location & local storage permissions"

"posted a question about this that was not answered"

"the camera works really well if i'm sat in the other room but as soon as i try to access the console through the app nothing happens"

"many problems with customer services befor so none of the cameras worked as described and they had a very long delay time feature that made them inseficiant to the sellers claim i would never purchase one from the companny again"

"my final point is the quality very impressed with both daytime & nighttime images with ability to disable the infra red at night too"

"one down side to the camera is the limited wifi range"
