EZViz Cameras Reviewed

The EZViz camera line-up includes indoor and outdoor security cameras, floodlight cameras, and a video doorbell. We like pan-and-tilt C6CN and C8C best. Other camera brands are more affordable in terms of up-front costs, but EZViz cams offer some unique features:

• microSD card slots on all cameras
• Ethernet ports on some models
• Free mobile app

The only hidden fee is the cloud subscription cost, which is totally optional.

What to expect with EZViz cameras

• You want local video storage vs. cloud storage.
• You have an unreliable Wi-Fi connection and prefer to use an Ethernet cable.
• You don’t want to pay a monthly fee just to use the camera’s app.

EZViz cameras also have good picture quality in all light conditions thanks to infrared night vision and digital noise reduction (DNR). Most retail for under $100 and can be used without a monthly subscription plan.

You’ll need to subscribe to the CloudPlay standard plan ($3.99 a month) or premium plan ($5.99 a month) to get cloud storage, but that’s totally optional thanks to microSD card slot on each camera. You can also store data on an NVR or DVR.

What you’ll need

All EZViz cameras work with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. A 2 Mbps uploading speed is recommended. You can choose to use an Ethernet cable with some models, like the C6CN or C8C, if your Wi-Fi signal is weak or spotty.

Other than that, you’ll need a wall outlet to plug in the power adapter, which is included with each camera. You may also need a screwdriver to mount the cameras to a wall. The mounting hardware is included in the box.

You’ll also need an Android or iOS device so you can download the EZViz app to your mobile device for remote control or to check the live view. We were happy to see that the app was highly rated in both the Apple App Store and Google Play store.

EZViz camera reviews

1. EZViz C6CN: Best indoor camera

The EZViz C6CN is a pan-and-tilt indoor camera that rotates 340° horizontally and tilts 105° up and 15° down. When you view the live footage, you can control the rotation and tilt to see a complete view of the room.

As a motion sensor camera, the C6CN will also start recording when it detects movement, and it pans or tilts to track that movement around the room.

We like that the C6CN sits on a table or mounts to a wall or ceiling. We’re also fans of the C6CN’s privacy shutter, which lets you cover the lens and make sure no one peeks in through the app. It’s a nice feature for families who share app access.

2. EZViz C1C: Best for budgets

The C1C is an affordable (around $40) indoor camera that securely mounts to any shelf via a magnet or clamp. Just make sure it’s about 10 feet away from a plug, since that’s the length of the USB cord/power adapter that’s included in the box.

A new 1080p version replaces the old 720p model. The 1080p C1C boasts a wider viewing angle (130°) and records in 20 fps. You can set up activity zones so that the camera only starts recording when movement is detected in a specific location, such as near a toy box or doggy door.

Wi-Fi connection is required and tricky

We read multiple reviews mentioning difficulty in setting up the C1C’s Wi-Fi connection. Restarting the camera and/or router may help.

Unfortunately, if you can’t get this camera to connect to Wi-Fi, there’s no Ethernet port to use as a Plan B. You might have to call customer service and cross your fingers for an easy fix.

3. EZViz C8C: Best outdoor security camera

EZViz offers several outdoor security cameras, but we like the new C8C best because it includes two spotlights and records at 30 fps for smoother footage.

And who doesn’t love pan-and-tilt technology for full coverage? The lens rotates 95° vertically and 352° horizontally.

Smart features for robust security

The C8C also offers these features:

• Optional color night vision
• Person detection
• Noise-canceling microphone
• Ethernet port
• microSD card slot (up to 256 GB)

4. EZViz DB1: Best doorbell camera

The DB1 EZViz video doorbell includes a microSD slot for local storage—a rare feature among doorbell cameras. You can also access clips on the cloud for free within three hours of the recording. If you want to store clips on the cloud for longer periods of time (which is helpful if anything occurs while you’re asleep, for example), you’ll need to pay a monthly fee.

Smart features

The DB1 has a 180° vertical field of view that allows you to see people from head to toe, even if they stand close to the door. But this wide angle distorts the image slightly. Its horizontal field of view is 105°.

Like other EZViz cameras, the DB1 video doorbell has a very sensitive motion sensor. Reviewers have noted that insects may trigger false alarms.

Other features include two-way talk and night vision that illuminates activity up to 16 feet away.
