EZVIZ 3K Security Camera Outdoor No Monthly Fee, 512GB Local Storage SD Card Supports, 360° PT, Colour Night Vision, Human/Vehicle Detection, Auto-Track, Home Wifi CCTV System, Alexa/Google (C8c 5MP)

Fantastic CCTV camera. Thought we would get one for peace of mind and came across this camera for a very good price of £40 (on an offer). It was very easy to install and the picture quality is excellent, don’t need to pay for a subscription we bought a micro SD card to put into ours so have plenty of storage, connects to WiFi no bother.Nigh vision is great and the tracking is also excellent. Only thing I can’t seem to find though is how to reduce the range of its tracking, we got a ton of notifications whenever someone walks past the house but that’s the only thing I can’t seem to figure out

Ever happy with the product, came highly recommended by a friend. Good quality, ease to use and set up through your Wi-Fi network

This camera is fantastic and such good value. The features are incredible for something so cheap: pan, tilt & zoom, IR viewing, SIM card storage. The WiFi connectivity is very strong and I don’t find it dropping offline at all. Compared to my Google Nest outdoor camera which was 3x the price, the Enviz is far superior in terms of picture quality and functionality, plus you aren’t forced down the monthly subscription route. The software is great and app is easy to use. Only gripe is the microphone/ sound quality. Playback sounds very distorted, and if this was improved, it would easily be 5⭐️

EZVIZ-Model-CS-C8c 5MP camera is probably the worst video and picture quality for a 5mp, while using the pan and tilt the live feed is heavily pixelating and tends to go out of focus, the user manual recommend download and install the windows version to configure and correctly set up, that was the biggest issue, it would not install completely, it gets to 80% and just crashes, tried several times emailing through amazon messaging, it took 2 day for the first response with no advise or help, I was back and forth with them, but never getting any answers to questions, I also searched youtube and the web, that also never resolved the issues, in the end I had a camera in its box not doing anything, so I tried once more with no help, I gave up and have since sent it back, my opinion the company support team are useless and not interested and could not be bothered, good reddens I will never use this brand ever again.

value for money and great camera quality , so impressed I bought a second camera

I've just installed this 3k c8c camera replacing an older hikvision camera. I am in the UK and did not get paid to write this. Given I'm the first UK review this model seems to have only just been made available here. It was on offer when I bought it.First the bad. The quality of the case while ok is not the same quality if plastic of the old hikvision camera. The mounting bracket is just adequate if the camera is up high but if anyone can reach it it can be stolen in a second from the supplied quick release bracket.The good. Simplicity itself to setup. No web interface like the old hikvision all done in the app. No need to sign up to pay for cloud storage if you are happy installing an SD card. Human detection seems to work and it tracks me around. Keep in mind this is human detection though not face detection/recognition. Same for cars. Detects cars but doesn't record number plates as data.Picture quality is very good in daylight. At night it's about the same as my old high end hikvision (which had nicha LEDs). I leave it in smart mode overnight. It sits in IR mode and turns on it's (warm) white lights to record in colour when it detects Human/car.Camera has one way or two way sound and a reasonably loud alarm that can be set off on detection or manually triggered.Camera comes with waterproofing connector for an ethernet cable if required and comes with an extension cable for the barrel cable for the power. I assume you'd need to inject and split if you wanted POE but I don't need it in this location so not tried.It occasionally records the odd bug fly by even though it only has human/car AI and not area/line crossing detection enabled but far less than the hikvision did.

Have not installed the camera yet, but picture quality seems good. The main issue I have is that a waterproof housing is supplied for the ethernet connector, but no housing or seal for the power connection which is in the same position. Contacted the manufacturer and they have advised to place the power connector out of the rain, this is very difficult with such a short cable..... not a good start for an outdoor camera. Having to spend another £5 on amalgamating tape to seal this connector. Tapo provide a seal with their camera for the power cable, don't know why Ezviz can't do the same.Also, there is no way to seal the ethernet port if it is not being used, some serious flaws here.Update after 1 week:Lost another star as privacy areas can't be set. Camera detects movement, and follows the movement (bird, cat) over into the neighbour's yard. I now have a tracking camera with the tracking/panning disabled to avoid issues with my neighbour's.

I must say, especially for the money, I am pretty impressed with this so far. Like all these devices, you have to configure with 5ghz wifi disabled so you use 2ghz only but once you have done that you can re-enable 5ghz and it works really quite well. The app is functional and the infrared is bright.You are not paying £100's so there is a limit to how good it can be but I would say very good value and I will probably buy a couple more.
