About the WiZ Indoor Camera

As you can see, there is some information that cannot be obtained via the WiZ website or on the box. However, that does not prevent us from having to take a closer look at the camera and test it through. Indoor Camera from WiZ is, as the name indicates, an indoor camera, but it still has an IP20 certification, where the first number indicates that it has protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm, but it cannot withstand water. Although it is not stated how many megapixels the camera uses, the resolution is in Full HD, and Night Vision is in 5M.

If we look at the accessories, a micro USB to USB-A, manuals, screws for mounting and brackets are included. You have to go out and get an adapter yourself if it needs to be plugged in via a socket.

The camera is white, with a black front. On the front, it is equipped with System LED, and we have the WiZ logo at the bottom.

On the back we have some information, including the model name, MAC address and serial number, and this is also where the entrance to the micro USB is located. On the side there is an entry for Micro SD card.

The base can be unscrewed if it is to be mounted on a wall, where the foot is attached, and the camera is then mounted on the foot.

Software

The Tapo C320WS is part of TP-Link's eco system, and for that they have their tapo APP.

WiZ for Android

WiZ for iOS

First, we need to have created a "Home".

Subsequently, it is possible to create the various WiZ products for the home.

Subsequently, the camera is made ready for pairing, where the phone generates a QR code, which the camera uses to connect.

Price

I have found the Indoor Camera from WiZ at a price of  120$.

Test & Conclusion

I have deliberately chosen to drop the test part for itself, and will here as a conclusion combine test and conclusion.

Personally, I found the WiZ APP very simple to work with, and has some good features built in. If you choose to have gone the WiZ route, the camera also opens up multifunction, where it is not only a camera, but it is also possible to use it as a motion sensor. Here I see several advantages with that function, both in terms of saving on electricity, but also if there is a break-in, the light will come on, you will get a clear picture of the unwanted guest, and hopefully the person will be scared away.

The picture quality itself is full HD, with a wide angle, which gives a nice picture and a good overview, especially if you want to cover a larger area in the home, such as a living room.

The camera has the option of internal memory, which is clearly an advantage if you don't want to use a cloud service, which costs money. However, I miss many of this type of camera, an easy option to be able to quickly set up a NAS, to be able to store your data there instead of having a small memory card or having to pay for a cloud service.

The cord that comes with it seems to be a bit short in my opinion, and especially if you want to plug it in and store the cord away, besides that, no adapter is included, which adds an extra cost here.

As the last thing, we have the price. There weren't many stores I could find it at during the test, and a price of 120$ is, in my opinion, high. If we give on the American website, we are down around 50$, so we can hope that we will also get closer to that price on the Danish market, when more stores start to have it at home.

I end the test by giving the Indoor Camera from WiZ a score of 8 out of 10. Here, it is especially the price that I think puts an end to the fun, and probably makes many people want to find an alternative. What can justify choosing this camera is especially if you use other products from WiZ, where you get the opportunity to integrate it in the same APP, together with the possibility of using the camera as a motion sensor, which makes your everyday life significantly easier.
