Amazon's Top Selling IP Camera Wansview Tested
Wansview is one of Amazon's top selling IP cameras but how does it fare against low-cost Hikvision or Axis cameras and consumer cameras such as Wyze?
IPVM bought and tested the Wansview Q5 IP camera against HikvisionDS-2CD2523G2-IS, Axis 3085-V, and Wyze V3 Pro, examining:
- How well does it perform in various lighting conditions - full light (~200lx), low light (~2lx), and Dark/IR (~0.02lx) scenes?
- How does it perform in a WDR Scene?
- Can Wansview provide clear details during motion in low light (~2lx) and dark (~0.02lx) scenes?
- How well does the PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) function work?
- How well does the mobile app work?
- Is the mobile app user-friendly?
- Does it provide continuous recording or only motion recording?
Additionally, a companion report will be released later this week, detailing the cybersecurity of the Wansview Q5 camera.
