Wansview is a camera-only system, so you won’t get features like sirens or entry sensors. We prefer systems with all these components, but these cams can work with your Amazon Echo smart speaker as a central hub to view footage and link them to other devices.

With a smart home, you’ll want to protect the privacy of your devices. Instead of sending your footage to an online portal that could be hacked, all four of the Wansview cameras have a slot for an SD card and an option to use secure cloud storage.

Wansview 1080p Q6

This pint-sized 1080p Q6 camera sports a wider range of motion than the Q5, but both can pan, tilt, and zoom in on anything you need to watch. The 1080p Q6 indoor camera can see 350° around and tilt up to 90°.

So, whether you’re tracking a speedy toddler around the room or keeping the dog out of trouble, your camera’s placement won’t hold you back from seeing everything. Plus, the price leaves room in your budget to spoil your kids.

We watched videos from customers testing the pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) features through screen recordings on their phone. Controls within the app use a roller ball feature that takes a little patience to learn.

The camera makes some sound in the app when it moves, but it isn’t especially loud in person. And, while there was a slight lag in the video, it was nothing out of the ordinary.

The 7.1 Pc Surround sound is excellent while the mic outputs both game sounds and chats. The cord is long enough, the volume controls and mic mute work but can at times be fussy. Besides, the headset requires a different USB adapter for Xbox consoles. That said, this is a great multipurpose headset for average use but you will get superior sound by investing more.

Wansview 1080p Q5

The 1080p Q5 has many of the same features as the 1080p Q6. It has the same strong night vision, Amazon Alexa compatibility, two-way talk, and local storage, but with a different look and slightly smaller field of vision.

The Q5 uses infrared lights. Both indoor cameras can see up to 16 feet in low light and completely dark conditions. Indoor cameras with these lights don’t emit a red glow at night that may disturb your kids’ naps or tip an intruder off to a camera’s presence.

Wansview 1080p W6

While the W6 and W4 outdoor security cameras have many similar features, the 1080p W6 has a little more to brag about. This outdoor camera has two-way talk, SD storage, and a slightly higher weatherproofing rating (IP66 versus IP65).

It costs $10 more than the W4, but that small price hike is worth the extra features. Two-way talk allows you to speak with anyone on the other side. You can tell intruders to take a hike, greet visitors, and speak to delivery folks when they drop off goodies.

Wansview 1080p W4

The Wansview 1080p W4 outdoor camera uses 24 powerful LED bulbs to see in the dark and detect motion night or day. And, while it doesn’t pan and tilt like the indoor cameras from Wansview, it has a wide 105° field of view to see your entire yard, sidewalk, or property. Not bad for an outdoor camera under $40.

If you’re looking for a camera to secure your property after a neighborhood break in or just want to add an extra layer of security, the 1080p W4 camera is a great budget choice for outdoor surveillance. But, if you want features like two-way talk or local storage, the W6 is a better option.

Like the indoor security cameras, Wansview’s outdoor cameras have a lot in common with each other. Both the Wansview W6 and W4 sport 1080p HD video with a 2 MP camera. You’ll get clear HD video sent straight to your phone or the cloud when you want to record a moment like the kids arriving home from school or a package delivery in progress.

They also use customizable real-time alerts when they pick up motion in view. And both have excellent IR night vision that can see up to 82 feet in the dark.

Both Wansview cameras are Alexa compatible and use 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connections to send footage to you. The company recommends setting up your outdoor camera up to 60 feet away from the router. If that isn’t ideal for your home, consider a range extender to stretch your home-network signal.
