Ok, let’s see how the camera performed functionality-wise. The rest of the package was fairly straightforward - an antenna, power cables (including POE) and some screws to mount the device.
It’s not too bulky like most outdoor bullet cams - frankly most outdoor cameras I’ve seen tend to be quite large. The Wanscam JW0016 is an exception - it has a sturdy outdoor housing and the size of the camera is great. Most inexpensive IP cameras come with fairly low quality housing. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and feel of the camera hardware. I’ll review the camera’s Hardware, Basic Setup, Video Quality, and Monitoring Features. Many customers are looking for outdoor cameras so I think it’s a good approach for Wanscam to offer a range of options. I was eager to try this camera to see how it stacks-up against other low-cost outdoor cameras. What I find interesting about Wanscam is they have a pretty good selection of cost-effective outdoor cameras, some for as low as $60-$70 on. Wanscam is one of the growing number of low-cost IP camera manufacturers competing for your attention. Hopefully this will help customers pick the camera that’s right for them.įor this post I will review the Wanscam JW0016. The reviews focus on cameras that work with Camcloud’s IP camera cloud services. This is part of our continuing series of IP camera reviews.
