LaView vs Amcrest or other

[Bboy486]

I was looking at LaView 1080P HD IP Wi-Fi Wireless as a replacement for two old Foscams that died on me

What are your thoughts on LaView? I thought I wanted pan and zoom but the field of view is actually better for what I need it for.

avoid wifi whenever possible.

If indoor, as Fenderman points out, this one is well liked
ANNKE I61DR 2MP (Hikvision Cube Clone)

I know you want hardwired. My LaView is hardwired via an extender. Not ideal but is more solid that other cameras. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of cat running in my house.

The only reason I was looking at LaView is that it is on sale right now. The Annke has a shallower DOF but I trust all of your recommendations.

Hi Bboy -

$40 from newegg - LaView 2MP 1080P HD Fisheye Wi-Fi Security Camera with 185 Degree Viewing Angle, 2-Way Audio, Free 3-day Cloud Storage and Motion Detection (LV-PWF80216-W) – NeweggFlash.com

ID distance is super short due to super wide FOV - and the image will be distorted due to the fisheye lens.
LaView 2MP 1080p fisheye WiFi camera LV-PWF80216-W 1080p at 185 degrees: 5.95 feet { 57.13 sq feet covered }

I think that camera works well in very few locations ( example by frontdoor of an apartment - sort of like a peephole lens ), I think you'd be better off with the Hikvision OEM cube for most locations.

the spec indicates that it is NOT onvif conformant and does not mention rtsp compatibility...simply that it works with laview TVI units..you likely cannot use it with a third party vms.

I went with the Hikvision clone.
