Review on πŸ“· Black Wansview Outdoor Security Camera, 1080P Pan-Tilt Surveillance Waterproof WiFi Cameras, Night Vision, Two-Way Audio, Motion Detection, Remote Access, Alexa Compatible - W9 by David Barit

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A decent PTZ camera for the money.

Very similar to other wansview cameras. There is no web interface configurator. Only very limited configuration options can be configured in the Android app. These Wansview cameras appear to be set up for people interested in subscription cloud services and aren't really optimized for people looking to run their own RTSP cam server software. It connects and works with rtsp, but these wansview cameras are pretty unreliable in rtsp and have no basic configuration settings. The power supply setting is not optimal for the outdoor camera. The power source was a 5VDC 1A USB cell phone wall charger with a long non-detachable direct USB cable from the camera. As a result, this model is not compatible with most camera power supplies that operate on 12V DC barrel connectors. USB sockets are not suitable for outdoor use. This camera seems too bad for indoor use due to the PTZ, but it is not really suitable for permanent outdoor use. Not sure how long that will last in Florida with heat, humidity and daily thunderstorms. I will continue, but the solution to charge a mobile phone via USB is not trustworthy.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Not sure
