Gents,
I am looking for info on how Sighthound might be configured to show/record video from the Wansview W3 camera. The sticker says it's a model W3 (X Series). This does not show up in the Wansview camera list. Is it too new?
Any info appreciated.

Re: Wansview W3 IP Camera
Hello,
Are you unable to see your camera in the dropdown when adding a new camera? It does look like we do support this camera. If you do not see your camera in the initial dropdown, you will have to manually set it up. You can find directions on how to do this below:
https://www.sighthound.com/support/manu ... mera-setup
If you give us the actual Model of your camera, we can look up what the Protocol, Port and Stream path should be for you. You can also find that information in the user manual.
Does that help? Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns, thank you!
Regards,
Kevin

Hello Kevin,
Thanks for the quick reply... I posted the model number in my last post... W3. According to the user manual it is a W3(720p). There is also a model W2(1080p) available. Amazingly, the android app works flawlessly with the unit, even on wifi. However, my PC's are having difficulties.
OMG! I just found a section in the user manual on how to add to Sighthound.. Amazing. Will try this and report back.
Regards

Hey CCR,
We actually have a W3 in-house, and we usually connect to it via ONVIF. Camera shows up in the list of ONVIF devices (just like the manual says -- thanks for that pointer!), but it looks like "Unknown -- 192.168.0.115", so you'd need to select it by IP.

Re: Wansview W3 IP Camera
Finally,,,
I reset the camera back to factory defaults and rebooted the camera, router and my pc. Seems to be working now. Used the instructions that came in the owners manual using the tcp method. It also shows how to connect using RTSP. That method worked in the wizard (video was visible), but after saving, nothing. Another issue there?
Thanks for the tips,
CCR

Hey,
Glad to hear that you got the camera setup. Can you please elaborate what you mean by nothing? The camera itself didn't save? Videos are not being saved? If that is true, have you setup any rules for that camera?
We will be standing by for your reply, thank you!
