When I saw these features, I was excited. Two that come to mind is temperature and humidity alerts. In the category of you get what you pay for, there are several features that appears the software supports. An alert tells you of a motion event without any photo accompanying it nor the ability to go back in history since there isn’t any storage. Establishing motion alerts can be accomplished through the app. The Wansview Home Camera is good for watching a pet or checking in on a property.
A manual written specific to this camera model would have been appreciated. The online manual is re-purposed from another camera model with “not supported in this model” throughout. However, if you simply want a camera to peer in on what’s going on, you probably won’t need the manual as the software functionality for simple surveillance is intuitive to figure out on your own. If you want to do anything beyond basic monitoring, download it. Searching on the Wansview web site will uncover a more complete manual. A strange quirk.Īfter this, you might feel somewhat on your own as the included manual is lacking.
Looks like the defaults need to be used during setup with the ability to change it coming after the camera is identified to your network. A little trouble was encountered when changing the default admin userid and password during setup. Once the camera is recognized by the app, you can customize the installation. You will be prompted for the wireless network password. Just scan the UID code and the camera is recognized. Setup of the camera is accomplished through the smartphone app. This plugin is only useful on a computer that is on the same LAN and cannot work over the internet. The camera cannot be accessed from a web browser however there is a plugin that can be installed on a PC or Mac connected to the same network that will enable viewing on a computer. You can access the Wansview Home Camera through an iOS or Android device.
So let’s take a closer look at this camera. While it’s not for everyone, it might be best suited for someone on a budget that wants to occasionally peer in on what’s going on at home or the office. Not a bad choice for someone looking for a simple and quick solution for peering in on the action. The Wansview Home Camera is an entry level home security camera.
So what’s missing? Why would you want to consider this camera? Especially when compared to a camera like the Nest Cam or Arlo Pro HD. The Wansview Home Camera is our latest kick the tires candidate.
