WiFi IP Camera, 1080P Baby Camera K5, Pet Camera Monitor Wireless Home Security Camera with Motion Detection 2-Way Audio Night Vision, Works with Alexa (White)

When I ordered this camera I had one thing in mind: monitoring my cat when I'm away and to some extent keeping him company. He's been my bundle of joy since I got him in 2014. He's a house cat. I work from home which allows me to look after him. Unfortunately, he has developed separation anxiety. So when I do leave home, a camera like this is very useful! Like with most things there are some caveats, but I don't have a lot of experience with this yet, so I may update this review in the near future!First of all, the camera is well boxed, and it's very well built and looks great. The instruction manual is concise, making setting up a quicker process. Keep in mind, many UK routers or "hubs" provided by ISPs combine 2.4GHz and 5GHz into a single network. If that sounds confusing, it's quite easy to separate your Wi-Fi into two networks by finding guides on Google or calling your ISP. This is necessary because the camera does not support 5GHz. I'm with Virgin Media and it didn't take long to log into the SuperHub and make these changes. Setup is otherwise a doddle!I've propped it in a good position for my own purposes. It has speakers that can be set quite loud. (I wouldn't overdo it.) It also has its own microphone, so you can hear everything while using the app which IS on both Android and iPhone/iPad! The app is really easy to install and navigate! I just press an icon and I can talk to my cat and reassure him! (Sounds silly I know, but he moans when I'm in another room! I imagine he cries when I'm gone for the day.) It would also work well as a baby camera. Heck, from my experience it seems great as a general security camera too!Picture quality is really good. Full HD, 1080p. Do not be fooled by some of my screenshots. I sometimes zoom into where my cat sleeps. (I've also cropped images, so they don't do it justice. Just look at other customer images.) It still looks good, but it is a digital zoom so it isn't perfect. When viewing the whole picture, it looks surprisingly good. I know my photos aren't super-bright. This is Britain, after all. I wish it was a sunny day. (Don't we all.) Like I said, there are caveats...If they're fixed or I missed anything I'll update this. Rather than the camera recording you may manually record to your phone's or tablet's memory. It took me a while to figure this out, but it saves into a folder that isn't easy to find. I'd love it if the app allowed you to choose where it saves to. By default, manual pictures and videos wouldn't appear in my Gallery. You can use a MicroSD, or record to their cloud storage server. You get a 30-day free trial which is easy to cancel. (Very visible option in the app.) Afterwards, it's only a few quid a month, or you can save with longer options. It only records when there's motion. A sensitivity option in the app would be greatly appreciated. Sometimes it records to the MicroSD and sometimes to the cloud. I suppose if I disable MicroSD it will always choose the cloud? It's a bit confusing.I'd give it 4.5/5 if I could. If I can find solutions to the issues, I'm happy with my 5/5 rating.

I've bought this camera to use as a baby monitor at the grandparent's house.The camera itself is quite sturdy, can be attached to the wall and comes with a long cord. The instructions are very simple and clear, and the set up process is quick and quite painless. Only thing that's not specified is that your Wifi Password needs to be 31 characters or less, and can't contain the symbols " ( ). For common people (not nerds like me) it's not a problem, but I've had to change my router password to accomodate the use of the camera. No biggie.The camera's image is clear as day, and i was suprised of how clear is the night vision. You can even zoom in and the quality is still better than my Video Baby Monitor. The fact you can adjust the motion activated alert's sensibility is great, especially if you use it as a baby monitor. You can chose to subscribe to cloud storage or use a Micro SD card (not provided) to record your video alerts. The only thing that could be improved would be the addition of a sound detection alert, simply for baby monitor usage.For the price it has, it's definitely recommended.

I got one of these a few months ago, tested it out, easy to set up & download the app.Positives:• personally I found these so good for the price I ended up buying 3 of them. 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.• They’re very small & hardly noticeable, no one ever realises they’re there.• Night vision quality is very good, along with the sound also being very clear.• All in all I’m very happy with them hence having purchased 3 now.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.• 2nd neg - again, on the app, they don’t always have sound, I have to close the app and re open it again.• 3rd- The motion detection is great and you can set it up to whatever sensitivity you’d like, however, it only records 3 seconds... unless you purchase the cloud storage which is £69 a year or happen to have a memory card to put in the cameras. The recording of motion detection should be at least 10 seconds I think.• and lastly, The camera cannot be pointing outside because the reflection off the window picks up the infrared night vision lights and you can’t see a thing. 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.I would defo recommend these, so I’m hoping the manufacturers see this & tweak the Wansview App so the bugs are fixed.
