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

"very disappointed"

"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"

"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"

"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"

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

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

"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"

"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 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"

"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"

"somehow after few months it stopped working"

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

"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"

"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"

"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"

"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"

"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"

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

"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"

"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"

"absolute waste of time"

"a complete waste of money"

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

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

"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"

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

"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"

"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"

"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"

"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"

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

"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"

"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"

"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"

"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"

"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!"

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

"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"

"when connected the ssid can then be hidden again"

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

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

"obviously no use for remote supervision of the premises"

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

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

"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"

"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"

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

"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!"

"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"

"many thanks miss k doore"

"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"

"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"

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

"the camera motor does have a lag"

"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"

"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"

"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"

"can always cancel after a month if there is no improvement"

"i don't have this problem with any other wifi device including my security cameras which are outside on the walls"

"our alarm recently went wrong and after getting a quote for £650 to have it fixed i thought i'd try some more modern security options"

"update: it's now 21st fen i can now view alerts but i am having alert notifications when there are no alerts"

"if they were to upgrade the software to give you the option to 24 7 record this would be a 5star product easily"

"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"

"there are a few minor downsides but definitely not enough to knock a star off the review"

"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"

"total waste of money”"

"very disappointed"

"my son has epilepsy and only has them in this sleep leaving him on his own at bedtimes is very difficult and i can’t relax and mostly don’t leave him so i’m in bed same time as him"

"they quickly helped me resolve a small issue i was having"

"on the whole i am very pleased with it my only gripe is the distortion when you speak through the microphone it is really quite bad"

"the only issue was that the motion alerts were not working"

"i would say that the cost seems to be one of the more expensive options compared to other camera makes"

"none of the offered glitch fixes really fit in with how the app doesn’t work"

"edit: camera developed a fault where it could not format the sd card and reported an error message on the app"

"the only problem i have experienced was on saturday the 11th january 2020 when there was no picture on my phone but sound detecting movement"

"one for my lounge facing my front door one for the back door & also the kids room we have very expensive computer equipment in there along with games consoles too • fast delivery well packaged & looks very smart modern"

"i figured that overall it was mostly positive and that maybe the people who gave it negative reviews were just not tech savvy or patient people millennial cockiness right there i know so anyhoo i decided to click the buy button"

"we have not used the cloud service yet but we do plan to take the free trial when we decide how we want to use the camera s with a view to expand our system to include additional indoor cameras and maybe an external"

"the only negative is that there is nothing to explain how the sd card works"

"it comes with a very long power cable is well packaged with comprehensive instructions which are well written and easy to follow"

"after a few days the cameras stopped working"

"i’ve had wansview for a few weeks now and i’ve not had one problem with it!"

"customer service was very quick and responsive so this problem was solved very quickly"

"there is a slight delay between what you are watching and what is happening it seems but very impressed considering the price"

"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"

"over all can not fault the camera"

"the câmera works as any cheap camera would"

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

"quite happy with my purchase for now i don’t appear to be having too many problems viewing with 4g and it is working for exactly the reasons i wanted it to"

"the camera was very easy to instal l and when i had a small problem with the wifi connection the support team were able to advise me very promptly"

"this is a simple camera that doesn't work with 3rd party software"

"once i had set up the on my phone i went on to the wansview website from my desktop and downloaded the pc software"

"extremely disappointed"

"i had a few problems with json errors when viewing clips on mobile data i found out this was due to vodafone blocking the site and a simple live chat asking vodafone to unblock restricted content solved this immediately"

"but you still worry"

"the spaniels i might add are really boring when i check and are just asleep"

"awful product"

"got first camera working then tried to add the second camera total night mare the quick delivery is the only positive thing i can add in fairness when it did work all for 10 mins the picture was really clear camera one then decided to switch itself off and on so i gave up also doesn’t link to alexa very well at all as described"

"night vision is the most importatant part for a camera because anything can be happen in the night and this awful camera has no night vision capability at all"

"to my phone gave me a lot of peice of mind but sadly 3 weeks after conecting the q5 the first and replaced k5 has again packed up and im in no mind the q5 will shortly fol low it so its not one that i could recomend spending money on unfortunately and i will cirtainly not waist anymore of my time with emails to the companey that may well send another replacement but i would rather save up and buy one i wont have to keep replaceing sorry but my view is dont buy one"

"they will only work with their proprietary "cloud" software which is buggy as hell and does not work most of the time"

"pointless and annoying"

"this camera performed perfectly"

"absolutely useless"

"i cannot recommenced this as the clips only viewable for less than two days unless by there cloud subscription pathetic so wouldn’t bought it if knew that"

"we had a minor issue at one point but we emailed the manafacturer and their service was amazing even with the current climate and lockdown we explained our issue and they sent out a new camera to us they even followed up to ensure it arrived which took only a couple of days i may add"

"i was slightly disappointed to discover that i can’t adjust the lens remotely via the app but it’s not a massive inconvenience as i’ve just played around with the camera to capture what i want and it’ll stay that way"

"for the price it's an absolute bargain i got them to see what the animals get up to while i'm out i cant fault the the quality of images great i confused my irritating mutt when he was barking like an idiot for no reason apart from the wind was blowing i set it for motion record when sleeping to catch"

"the only issue was that the motion alerts were not working"

"tried with different mobile same issue"

"27am apologising but advising it could be a wifi signal problem"

"every time showing error 5401 5403"

"the camera is small white and easily blends into the environment"

"i have spoken with wansview support a couple of times too and they are both polite and prompt with replies"

"it will work for 2 3 days then just totally crash again!"

"i currently have a neos smart camera but it is very laggy and the app constantly crashes so i want to replace it with something more stable and reliable"

"after reading the reviews of various comparable cameras i decided to buy a wansview camera as they were the only manufacturer that i couldn't find any evidence of them having had security flaws so i felt happy to give them a go the camera was quick and easy to set up the automatically generated qr code and audio cues' would be easy for anyone to follow"

"if i have to pick a small fault the sound lags the image by a fraction of a second but i'm guessing this can be fixed with an update"

"i was looking for a low cost wifi camera so that i could keep an eye on my mother at home as she has been unwell recently"

"also despite numerous updates in the 3 months i've had this camera the android app remains very buggy and erratic"

"the k5 device worked without a single issue for 2 months and suddenly stopped sending motion alerts and as with any device problems can arise but it is all about how these are resolved"

"avoid this"

"although this camera is alexa compatible with the wansview skill meaning you can view the camera on an alexa show device or with a firestick it does not support motion detection within alexa this means that you are unable to trigger any other routines this is an obvious flaw with the firmware rendering the device useless for me i was intending to use a sd card with the device but though i would use the cloud trial first however i did not wish to open a paypal account which seems to be required"

"had camera a few days now and it's worked perfectly until today with the stupid firmware update and how every time i close the app and go back into it no device ?"

"i had a few problems with json errors when viewing clips on mobile data i found out this was due to vodafone blocking the site and a simple live chat asking vodafone to unblock restricted content solved this immediately"

"phone app version allowes longer password than pc version so if you get username password error on computer"

"also keep getting a stupid amount of emails from the company"

"the ability to invite a friend family member to view the app is great but there is a small limitation in that the invited friend can't view recorded videos only the live feed"

"i had no luck in achieving a successful scan until after several failed attemps the setup help dialogue intervened and suggested making the qr image larger"

"the spaniels i might add are really boring when i check and are just asleep"

"i've taken a star off as i'm getting an annoying buzzing sound through the app but other than that it's perfect and i have recommended it to my friends as a cheap alternative to an external cctv system"

"there was a slight problem early on so i contacted the uk mail and they replied almost immediately they knew about the problem as it was with their server"

"i've taken a star off as i'm getting an annoying buzzing sound through the app but other than that it's perfect and i have recommended it to my friends as a cheap alternative to an external cctv system"

"one minor issue not a camera fault my mobile provider vodka honey blocks the manufacturers we stream as a default"

"i would give this a zero rating but that was not possible"

"the app was very easy to install and getting it to do what it needs to waa mercilessly childs play"

"ended up returning this as the power kept turning on and off which kind of rendered it useless : i wanted a nice little camera for inside my porch as we are currently isolating and having lots of deliveries that are being left in the porch without signatures and after one delivery was 'delivered' but wasn't we needed a small cheap camera to keep an eye on things"

"one minor issue not a camera fault my mobile provider vodka honey blocks the manufacturers we stream as a default"

"s d card i used my w d cloud drive to record to also can me viewed from iphone 11 and alexa show i would highly recommend this product to anybody who needs cctv camera or security deterrent in the home or garden"

"although this camera is alexa compatible with the wansview skill meaning you can view the camera on an alexa show device or with a firestick it does not support motion detection within alexa this means that you are unable to trigger any other routines this is an obvious flaw with the firmware rendering the device useless for me i was intending to use a sd card with the device but though i would use the cloud trial first however i did not wish to open a paypal account which seems to be required"

"yes surprisingly so and have had no issues reconnecting after the camera has been unplugged and then plugged back into the mains is the wansview cloud app friendly?"

"the main difference was the picture & sound quality and lack of lagging time difference between the image taken and shown on a device with the other 2 cameras we tried one had a 15 45 second lag on video so for example we would be talking to one of our children downstairs but we could still see them playing upstairs on the camera"

"is seems installation is difficult and time consuming"

"i didn't try cloud features due to my own privacy concerns"

"is it possible to give 0 stars"

"on 3 occasions i wanted to see who has been dumping rubbish outside my house and on those 3 occasions it hadn't recorded anything to the sd card"

"never connects"

"they barked one and i spoke to them and they settled down again"

"they are much smaller and lighter than my old cameras"

"motion detection very sensitive had to set it at minimum to avoid neurosis"

"good bits: looks good really easy setup excellent image quality good microphone and speaker system didn't require an sd card to work bad bits: only really bad bit was due to our slow wifi meaning there was a slightly laggy image"

"i will order some more for other rooms but maybe not the same model!"

"software is a bit lacking especially on desktop"

"i bought this camera so that i can watch my pet whilst i'm at work as he has been slightly unwell"

"i moved my camera from its original location and left it disconnected for about 3 months by which time i had forgotten my password and couldn’t get onto the camera again when i plugged it back in"

"for security reasons the invites last 30 minutes and it's usually not enough time so you end up having to send repeated invitations"

"then it started turning off or freezing on long periods of time and dispite resetting and trying to solve the problem it keeps happening its becoming a joke!"

"the app is absolutely rubbish the camera is online then 5 minutes later offline"

"this item is rubbish it does not work will not connect to my phone "

"a couple of slight cons: 1 during set up the device needs to scan a qr code displayed on the smartphone screen"

"it will randomly stop recording"

"the biggest negative however for me is that the recorded videos are only 10 seconds long"

"we had no issues with wifi i wonder if people that are having issues have not entered the name of their wifi and left the generic there and just entered their passwords!"

"motion has been detected but there has been no motion within the view of the camera i would recommend no one buys this product due to the poor software and constant false notifications!"

"immediately afterwards i was despatched a new replacement without any further questions"

"negatives: • okay so first thing is they need to sort out the app it’s very slow takes ages to connect and sometimes it’ll kick me out of the app if i navigate too fast"

"we purchased this camera as a night time monitor for our 1 y o twins to replace a broken expensive one we had been given for our previous child"

"it took 30 mins to set up as the guide was poor and the the golden blow pay for a subscription"

"it's driving me nuts"

"i bought this camera to view my front door as i was having too many unexpected visitors"

"i even went onto the admin settings for my wifi and turned 5ghz off renamed each of them separately and set new passwords to make sure there was no possible way of getting it wrong but it still did not connect!"

"i would have given this 5 stars but one of my smart cameras keeps crashing!"

"2 due to slight security concerns i wanted to attach the device to my router guest access and while i was able to do that i couldn't then get the app to see it because as i found out later the whole poiint of guest access on my router is to allow guests access to email and the internet while preventing them from accessing any other devices in the same network"

"as it did not work for me i found my own modem had to be changed but the support was first class and i was offered a refund i have yet to fix it as my phone was also affected"

"update: after a month it stopped working so had to return it maybe it was just an 'off' one"

"i brought it as a ‘bunnycam’ so i could spy on my giant house rabbit when i was out as was intrigued as to what he gets up to home alone!"

"after that little complication which you are going to have to do one day because most non phone and computer devices only support 2"

"next morning i turned my phone on and saw i had numerous alerts the cam records a few second video every time there is movement so i watched these short clips and halfway through there she was caught in the act!"

"i’d never considered monitoring our dog in the kitchen before as i thought it would be really expensive and difficult the camera was such good value and easy!"

"none of the offered glitch fixes really fit in with how the app doesn’t work"

"nothing was too much trouble and they really helped us "

"received a message via the app on monday saying there was a motion sensor problem and they were working hard to fix it it's now wednesday and the camera has stopped working completely!"

"bit annoying can’t make clips longer 10 secs too"

"we have found that two of us cannot be logged into the app at the same time which we found a bit disappointing however it works perfectly fine being used one at a time"

"if i have to pick a small fault the sound lags the image by a fraction of a second but i'm guessing this can be fixed with an update"

"i had a few problems with json errors when viewing clips on mobile data i found out this was due to vodafone blocking the site and a simple live chat asking vodafone to unblock restricted content solved this immediately"

"very hard to connect at first once connected was really delayed in picture"

"they barked one and i spoke to them and they settled down again"

"if you’re looking for a great little camera at a great price don’t hesitate to purchase this one"

"also i do not need to be able to remotely move the camera pan tilt which is why i went for this basic static model"

"i shall definitely be setting one up for my female skunk so i can keep watch for babies in breeding season"

"wansview have practically stalked me asking me to remove my review which has felt really uncomfortable actually"

"rubbish not even 6hrs worked app crash can’t see any"

"the app install is very easy although the app has crashed my phone once all i had to so was restart my phone and it has worked fine ever since"

"also overheats so could be issues with it in future would not recommend"

"picture can be laggy at times but that is my internet"

"i can skip through the footage at the end of the day as any motion is detected and time stamped you can adjust the sensitivity "

"so absolutely nothing wrong with the camera but the app is shocking i got up and running with minimal effort but within 5 minutes something went down with the app and i could not get back online so sent it back got a refund shame really nothing wrong with the camera"

"the frustration is real with these camera's but if you are willing to follow all the steps and loose your mind in the process you will get there in the end"

"purchased for a friend as a gift as she has an elderly dog who has had some health issues so that she could check in on him when shes out"

"it took 30 mins to set up as the guide was poor and the the golden blow pay for a subscription"

"don’t waste a lot of money on these expensive cameras you won’t get better than this !"

"done every step and reset instruction given and nothing works"

"the picture freezes there’s no sound and when there is sound it’s distorted"

"i was met with a load of jargon that was beyond my simple capabilities of understanding you have to access the modem and switch off 5 ghz i tried this and then lost all internet"

"considering this camera was so cheap i honestly thought it would be junk"

"the reason why this function was a non negotiable is because of a spike in thefts and suspicious behaviour in our residential area and if there was a break in i would not have been able to share any footage with the police"

"i thought it could be my internet connection but it got worse and its completely out of order now but unable to return at this stage"

"but i have set it up in the corner of a room and not covers every angle i need to watch"

"i’d never considered monitoring our dog in the kitchen before as i thought it would be really expensive and difficult the camera was such good value and easy!"

"wouldn’t recommend"

"that was over £100 never worked very well and ceased working altogether in less than a month with no refund from the supplier"

"• they’re very small & hardly noticeable no one ever realises they’re there"

"received a message via the app on monday saying there was a motion sensor problem and they were working hard to fix it it's now wednesday and the camera has stopped working completely!"

"i figured that overall it was mostly positive and that maybe the people who gave it negative reviews were just not tech savvy or patient people millennial cockiness right there i know so anyhoo i decided to click the buy button"

"there is also a small speaker through which you can talk to using the app"

"on the whole i am very pleased with it my only gripe is the distortion when you speak through the microphone it is really quite bad"

"however there is no function option to simply switch off the camera"

"wainsview customer service worked hard to resolve the issue and promised a refund if it didnt recover"

"to my phone gave me a lot of peice of mind but sadly 3 weeks after conecting the q5 the first and replaced k5 has again packed up and im in no mind the q5 will shortly fol low it so its not one that i could recomend spending money on unfortunately and i will cirtainly not waist anymore of my time with emails to the companey that may well send another replacement but i would rather save up and buy one i wont have to keep replaceing sorry but my view is dont buy one"

"motion has been detected but there has been no motion within the view of the camera i would recommend no one buys this product due to the poor software and constant false notifications!"

"i’ve gotten used to it now as it’s roughly the same time of day as the sun sets but seems rather silly that it gets set off by that rather than actual motion"

"it isn't too bad for the price and i might be a little picky but i got the camera to use whilst im at work and it just doesn't do it seemlessly"

"you can be sure to receive outstanding customer service in the event of a query or a problem"

"clear picture alerts by email not got on 'the cloud' as yet but quite satisfied with what we have for the time being"

"slight grievance in that when it gets darker in the evening and as it switches to night vision it always sends me an alert"

"the night picture quality i found blurry but it might be my placement"

"i had been wanting a ring doorbell for a while now and i came across this instead with a much nicer price tag"

"i also used it to discreetly observe him at night to ensure he was not wandering while everyone else was asleep and the night vision and sensitive motion activation were excellent in this regard"

"“alexa show cam1” or “alexa hide cam1”"

"or please send me another power cord if you think is within warranty"

"i actually lost my patience with it and i was shamefully a bit rude and offensive in the e mail i sent to wansview support"

"once set up it is a cool bit of kit for keeping an eye on a room where the dog gets up to mischief"

"i was a bit unsure about this product after so many bad reviews but i have been so impressed for the price"

"after 3 other models all failing miserably to connect to my phone this one was incredibly easy in comparison"

"it sometimes detects things not there"

"i even went onto the admin settings for my wifi and turned 5ghz off renamed each of them separately and set new passwords to make sure there was no possible way of getting it wrong but it still did not connect!"

"see my photo attached of how i have my backdoor camera angled away from the window so i don’t have a glare at night i will be purchasing an outside one eventually"

"lengthy cable to power up"

"but unless you subscribe for the cloud storage service the options for local storage and retrieval of video clips triggered by motion alerts are limited"

"i shall definitely be setting one up for my female skunk so i can keep watch for babies in breeding season"

"alarm recordings are available almost immediately and i have convinced myself that hindsight recording is incorporated in the app"

"had alternate products and work seamlessly this product does not"

"you can choose whether to pay for cloud storage or use a memory card or just watch it live with no recording facility"

"ended up returning this as the power kept turning on and off which kind of rendered it useless : i wanted a nice little camera for inside my porch as we are currently isolating and having lots of deliveries that are being left in the porch without signatures and after one delivery was 'delivered' but wasn't we needed a small cheap camera to keep an eye on things"

"negatives: • okay so first thing is they need to sort out the app it’s very slow takes ages to connect and sometimes it’ll kick me out of the app if i navigate too fast"

"i have trouble logging onto the app when i’m out and the app will only give me motion detection if i press the button when i’m at home with the camera"

"to my phone gave me a lot of peice of mind but sadly 3 weeks after conecting the q5 the first and replaced k5 has again packed up and im in no mind the q5 will shortly fol low it so its not one that i could recomend spending money on unfortunately and i will cirtainly not waist anymore of my time with emails to the companey that may well send another replacement but i would rather save up and buy one i wont have to keep replaceing sorry but my view is dont buy one"

"this camera is rubbish"

"i had not realised the picture would be so poor i have limited street lighting so it can't pick anything up"

"excellent quality video for live stream i have not yet used the playback or save function this requires an external memory card which is not included "

"the biggest negative however for me is that the recorded videos are only 10 seconds long"

"got first camera working then tried to add the second camera total night mare the quick delivery is the only positive thing i can add in fairness when it did work all for 10 mins the picture was really clear camera one then decided to switch itself off and on so i gave up also doesn’t link to alexa very well at all as described"

"customers services advised me how to do it i already knew how but they didn't seem to grasp that it didn't work"

"i would give this a zero rating but that was not possible"

"we have found that two of us cannot be logged into the app at the same time which we found a bit disappointing however it works perfectly fine being used one at a time"

"good bits: looks good really easy setup excellent image quality good microphone and speaker system didn't require an sd card to work bad bits: only really bad bit was due to our slow wifi meaning there was a slightly laggy image"

"i have ring floodlights and am used to immediate pick up of motion"

"broke not long after purchase slow audio and video"

"in the cloud version i didn’t get a email to authorise despite adding to whitelist and many attempts"

"motion has been detected but there has been no motion within the view of the camera i would recommend no one buys this product due to the poor software and constant false notifications!"

"we have 2 shitz shu’s that according to an annoying neighbour bark constantly these are proof that they don’t"

"we wanted a camera upstairs not as a security camera but for keeping an eye on the kids etc though the echo show mobile while cooking & cleaning downstairs without having to keep stopping and checking on them after every loud noise"

"with wansview that is not possible"

"only thing that's not specified is that your wifi password needs to be 31 characters or less and can't contain the symbols " "

"it turned out the problem was with my router which i rebooted"

"how can it miss not record someone dumping a kitchen sink they're quite large!"

"i sent it back as faulty as it was within the 30 day return period"

"i needed a small camera to go behind a venetian blind in a window adjacent to my front porch"

"so my expectations were very low"

"it only triggers when a bus or lorry drives past"

"these are deliberately restricted to 10 seconds !"

"we have 2 shitz shu’s that according to an annoying neighbour bark constantly these are proof that they don’t"

"easy to set up and records 12 second motion activity while not viewing"

"you expect the camera to be on when you are away from home only to find out it has stopped working"

"picture quality is great and motion alert delay is fairly negligible"

"so now it’s useless"

"the camera was used to catch our little dog getting up to mischief and once setup it works perfectly with good picture quality"

"i've tried everything recommended on the q&a page of the app but it still remains 'offline' for this reason i can't mark it more than a 1 star which is a pity"

"4ghz and not the 5ghz"

"for security reasons the invites last 30 minutes and it's usually not enough time so you end up having to send repeated invitations"

"unfortunately the software was very poor indeed"

"if the night vision ir is on then you get glare from the reflection but if you switch it off and have motion activated lights then it is excellent at recording detail although the proper outdoors security camera would be more appropriate"

"i had to return it next day as it simply would not finalise set up"

"you can change your settings to make it less sensitive and you can remove the notifications if you wanted to"

"the camera is set up to monitor an empty property so i want to receive alerts and a video clip if there is any movement"

"i do find though the the speak isn’t very clear when not in the property but i do not use this feature"

"i have contacted customer service and they confirmed that there is no way to change this"

"the only problem i have experienced was on saturday the 11th january 2020 when there was no picture on my phone but sound detecting movement"

"nothing wrong with my reception either"

"negatives: • okay so first thing is they need to sort out the app it’s very slow takes ages to connect and sometimes it’ll kick me out of the app if i navigate too fast"

"no reason to suspect it won't be just as great as this little camera is"

"no we are using sd storage card so don't need the cloud"

"i’m not decided the faulty ones just put me off a little and i need something reliable because of my seizures but if your using it for general keeping an eye on the house or pets then it’s spot on : would have had 5 stars if it wasn’t for the one not working right"

"this is my second camera first one not wansview this one was much easier to get set up and working"

"it took no more than 5 minutes and every worked perfectly"

"i took it out of the box downloaded the app and 4 minutes later i was looking at my puppy in his cage by way of high definition video!"

"however the cloud issue upset me so much i didn't use the camera in the end its lying in a bin somewhere!"

"i sent it back as faulty as it was within the 30 day return period"

"so now i have a camera that won’t film anything"

"not tried night vision so can't comment on this"

"i've had an ip camera before so i wasn't expecting much"

"it doesn’t pan or tilt but it isn’t really required when positioned in the corner of my room and it provides 120 degree angle of viewing"

"4ghz no idea how at last the cam connected and was ready to go it had taken me 4 hours!"

"however the cloud issue upset me so much i didn't use the camera in the end its lying in a bin somewhere!"

"only criticism is that the speaker could be better"

"handy when i'm upstairs and don't hear the door"

"we have our property and garage alarmed but are always concerned about security"

"it can also be set to send notifications to your phone whenever motion is detected and the motion events are also saved as small clips on your phone or in the cloud"

"a couple more points to consider when buying this camera it produces a crystal clear 1080p hd video stream but the zoom is digital so video perfectionists will be disappointed"

"also not wireless at all"

"the setup is easy the app walks you through it and it literally takes no more than 2 minutes"

"if you are thinking of buying this camera but are unsure of its quality due to the price don’t delay buy it!"

"we purchased this camera as a night time monitor for our 1 y o twins to replace a broken expensive one we had been given for our previous child"

"not very good at night if facing outdoors as reflection on glass but works when outside light is triggered"

"no need for concern"

"however in order to use it to look out a window at night it is quite poor as you have to switch off the leds"

"no online chat help from their website only from cloud app which isn't dowloading"

"the worst ever camera"

"it asks for your email and password then just buffers and doesn’t do anything else cheap chinese product wish i’d bought something else!"

"the advisor then asked me to send a video showing me using the correct procedure for downloading footage which i did and then i did not recieve a reply"

"i will admit that i never read the disription and was disappointed that i couldn't move the picture with the app"

"on the non cloud version it wouldn’t connect to wifi"

"the wansview team quickly rectified this issue and i’ve had no issues since"

"then once set up on my phone i asked alexa to find devices and that set itself up with no further input from me"

"first here are the pros: easy setup great picture quality great motion detection well priced sturdy build quality long cable easily viewing on the app automatic night vision well packaged cons other family members can be invited to view the camera but they can only see stills and not videos motion detection cannot be adjusted to your preferences video clips are usually no longer than 30 seconds and cannot be adjusted to your preferences you have to purchase cloud storage in order to view footage that is older than 2 days and it's quite expensive for a largely unknown company"

"for such a small cost i am so impressed with these little bulb like cameras"

"i purchased both the wansview q5 & k5 after a recently burglary of my neighbours property and i can thoroughly recommend these affordable cameras"

"bit pricey for the year but if you're using 3 camera's then worth it"

"99 we were dubious at the quality we were likely to receive but for such little money it felt worth the risk"

"i've got a nest cam and don't get me wrong it's fine"

"i downloaded the app and tried to register using a second email address in desperation but never got an email back"

"it couldn't be easier"

"weird how i've given it an over all awful review but the things are 5 star"

"can access the camera from anywhere with the app on my phone can even talk through the camera if you press and hold the microphone button in the app whilst speaking"

"while syncing i got distracted and started doing house chores and forgot about the camera"

"brought this for an elderly lady to give her peace of mind when leaving her husband at home easy to set up app downloaded straight away onto her iphone now she can check her husband is behaving if she has to pop out she now knows if he gets up so can check he hasn't had a fall and if he has she can get the onsite care team to attend him straight away he has his lifeline etc but she needed the peace of mind knowing she can check that someone has attended to him"

"with some use i have to say the image quality isn't brilliant in some lighting conditions hence the 3 star rating original review: so it has the potential to be a great product at its price point but as it stands you are unable to view the camera when out of house through 4g due to a current firmware issue due to be solved by start of september i've been told"
