I acquired a WZ500 / I51CK camera equipped with a remarkable 20x zoom capability to aid in the provision of evidence regarding instances of Anti-Social behaviour to the police. This camera boasts exceptional image clarity and an impressive zoom function.

The installation process of the camera was relatively straightforward. To optimize its placement, I supplemented my purchase with a 10m DC Power extension cord, allowing me to route it through the Loft/Attic to my desired location. Configuring the camera within the ANNKE Smart app on my iPhone was also a relatively uncomplicated task. As long as you follow the provided instructions, a seamless setup experience is ensured. It is worth mentioning, however, that the "Sites" option within the app, designed for convenient access to stored points of interest, exhibits some flaws. The camera tends to confuse and misdirect, leading it to incorrect points of interest.

Additionally, I have availed myself of the Web Portal, which necessitates the use of ActiveX and IE11 mode in modern browsers due to its antiquated interface. The portal provides access to a wider range of functionalities, such as the "Preset" feature, enabling the camera to memorize specific scenes or points. This facilitates manual monitoring of areas of interest. Regrettably, this feature is plagued by technical issues. The presets consistently become disordered, failing to direct the camera to the designated points upon request. Another noteworthy functionality is the Auto-Tour mode, presumed to pan and tilt the camera to surveil previously saved presets. Sadly, this impressive feature also falls short of expectations.

Despite the aforementioned shortcomings in these two areas, I would not discourage potential buyers from considering this camera. Its exceptional clarity, outstanding people tracking capabilities, and remarkable zoom and image quality outweigh the drawbacks. Should ANNKE address the issues with presets and auto-tour functions, this camera would undoubtedly set a new standard in its class.
