   Reliable camera with no hidden fees – love it!
   I’ve been using EZVIZ cameras for a while now, and I keep coming back to them for one main reason: you don’t need to pay for cloud storage if you don’t want to. Just throw in a microSD card, set your recording preferences, and it saves everything locally. No monthly fees, no surprises—just peace of mind.Before switching to EZVIZ, I tried other brands where you had to subscribe to access or save any footage, which honestly got annoying fast. With EZVIZ, I get full functionality right out of the box, and I appreciate having the option to use the cloud or not.The app is super user-friendly, too. I can check live feeds or recorded videos from anywhere, whether I’m at home or traveling. The camera is easy to set up, and the quality is solid. It’s also nice that I can manage both my security cameras and the doorbell in the same app—makes things really convenient.Overall, EZVIZ makes solid, dependable cameras that give you full control without forcing you into a subscription. I always check their lineup first when I need new security gear.

   EZ setup for the EZVIZ camera.
   I have owned EZVIZ cameras in the past and they have always been good to me. So I stick with it.

   NO DOCUMENTATION! But, great for monitoring bird nest and critters on deck if you get it going
   I have not used this camera for long. I just got it set up, and it works. Good picture quality. The sound seemed not to work at first, but it seemed to fix itself. The sound now works. NOTE: the user must first go into the settings to enable the sound + video, which is not stated anywhere in the instructions.I also installed a 64GB micro memory card, just to see if I could record. Yes — it now records, and is set to record only when motion is detected. You can switch between Live camera and previously-recorded video. You can view images anywhere along the timeline. BUT — I do not see any means of fast-forwarding the saved video. Maybe there is a way to do this, but it is not obvious and there are no instructions.The camera seems to be very good. But, I have to say, the instructions are HORRIBLE. So, I can’t, in good conscience, give a 5-star review to something that is so difficult to set up. I spent several hours trying to get it set up. I used a combination of Amazon Q&A for the product, and Google. Finally, I was so thrilled when it worked.Manufacturer’s support: This is the first big big weak point. If there was good manufacturer support, including documentation, I would give this camera 5 stars. There is NO CHAT available on the website. You can submit a question via email or via filling out a form. But, from my experience, you will NOT receive any answer for several weeks. In my case, I asked how to get the sound working, and gave the settings that I had, etc. I DID NOT HEAR BACK FROM EZVIZ for about 4 weeks. By then, the issue had resolved itself.The lack of documentation is the 2nd (and most important) big weak-point of this product. Unfortunate — because the company could easily prepare the documentation for their software. In my search for documentation, I came across a useful youtube review from a British guy. Just google “video review of EZVIZ C3N”. This is a fairly comprehensive review – including reviews of the cell phone app and the pc app, etc. He points out the complete lack of documentation, and the frustration that this brings. I had thought that I was the only one! He points out that the pc app is much better than the cell phone app and recommends the pc app as the primary control. The two apps have different settings and are not consistent between the two apps. This is another big failure for this product. But, it is something that the manufacturer can easily fix.FYI: I did not intend to use this camera with my cell phone. I just wanted it to connect to my laptop pc. I wanted to use the camera for monitoring a bird nest (Eastern phoebes) next year and I did not want to have to change batteries in the camera when the camera is only 6 ” away from the active nest.Here are the pitfalls that I encountered with setup:1) No info in the instructions re: simple connection to a pc (via ethernet or via WIFI). In fact, the description on Amazon would make you think that this camera only works with a cell phone.2) I relied on info in the Amazon Q&A that said to go to the EZVIZ website and download the pc software. This worked. The download takes a while, and it was not clear to me that it was being downloaded. (My Windows 10 Firefox screen has recently changed how it shows what is going on with downloads. It now shows a little circle with a 1/4 section lit up, showing download in progress. Never saw this before.) It is NOT necessary to use a QR reader on a cell phone to set up the camera. You would never know this from the instructions included with the camera.3) The setup kept asking me for a “Device Verification Code” . There is NO MENTION of this in the instruction manual. I couldn’t go any farther in the setup without inputting the correct verification code. Google suggested that there was a default user name of admin. That didn’t work. It also said there was a default PW of 12345. That didn’t work. The PW and user name that I had already created during setup didn’t work. Next, I looked at a Youtube video. It was not very clear, but it seemed to show the base of the camera with its QR code and some other info. It was difficult to read (due to poor imaging), but it did seem to show a “Verification Code”. So, I looked on my camera base, and found the label. The printing is VERY TINY. The label has a QR code but also has other info (serial #, etc). The printing is so tiny, that I had to use a magnifying glass to read it. Anyway: the device verification code is located on that label, and I got the software to register my camera. Finally!4) I set up the camera at first using a direct ethernet connection. I got video on my pc. This proved it was working.5) But WIFI would not work. I spent another hour trying to look at my interface and see where I could set controls, etc. After simply fooling around with the menu for awhile, I found a section that had WIFI info. So, I clicked the Search button in that section, and clicked on my WIFI signal that it found. It fills in stuff automatically, then you hit Apply. There is no info about this in the instructions.6) I logged out, then logged back in to the program. This time, it automatically found my camera, and was using WIFI.7) So, it took me awhile, and it would have been so much easier if EZVIZ had provided instructions.8) Installing the micro memory card was easy — but, the “slot” is extremely small and the card goes in very loosely. It is deceptive, and you are not sure that it is inserted properly until you try it out. You must use the software program to format the card. Then you must set the motion parameters, etc — none of which are explained. It is all trial by error.

   Camera with floodlight, stores video inside card
   I have three brands of security cameras in my house: four Arlo, one Simplisafe, and seven EZ-Viz. Two of the EZ-viz cameras have the night floodlight and I use those for my driveway. Together, they light up the driveway quite well and I get good color video even at night.The EZ-viz stores the video on an SD-card, and cloud-backup is optional. With Arlo, once you go beyond five cameras, cloud-backup is mandatory. I like the fact that with the EZ-viz I have a choice. When I travel with the family in about a month I plan to get the cloud-storage for 3-4 of my most strategically located outdoor EZ-Viz cameras. Sometimes when I’m away from home I can see my kids on the indoor cameras and talk to them through the camera audio function which is fun. Good quality cameras at a good price, I’ve never had any problems with any of them and I’ve had them for about two years now.

   L’abonnement annuel est raisonnable pour une excellente qualité d’images. La mise en route est assez simple. Se commande vraiment à distance une fois branché sur la wifi (assurez-vous d’avoir un internet 2.4 Ghz, mais je crois qu’il fonctionne aussi sur le 5 ghz).Pensez à garder la boîte avec le code barre, si vous deviez réinitialiser un jour.Facile à désactiver et réactiver.Ce modèle fonctionne sur le secteur, il n’est pas à piles/batteries. Et c’est un modèle fixe, il ne suit pas les mouvements. Mais son rayon d’enregistrement est très large. Le son est bon.La nuit, sa lumière reste constamment allumée (à moins que je n’ai pas tout compris): si on veut éteindre la lumière, il faut désactiver la caméra. La lumière est très puissante et pourrait gêner un voisin trop proche.Mais la qualité est vraiment excellente et l’interface bien faite.

   Only had this camera for a short time, seems to work very well. Picture is clear and night vision is good.I have other Ezviz cameras and all work good, they keep on working in -30C weather.

   Great security camera. Bought to cover the front and back of my house, as people have been lurking. Being able to record to an SD card is great. No subscriptions required (cloud storage subscription is available). Easy installation and set up. The app makes checking and saving the footage easy. The different night vision options are great as well. If you’re a first time buyer I definitely recommend getting these or their battery operated version if there are no outlets close by.

    Update Dec.1/23. Camera still works but needs to be rebooted regularly. Smart night vision is useless as its very slow to respond. Support is useless as they will just give you the runaround to avoid a warranty claim. No more ezviz for me. I’ve moved on to cheap F …. d cams that work a charm .Update Apr.11/23 Camera(C3N) keeps going offline out of the blue. Had to reset and disconnections have stopped.Good build quality. Easy to setup and hookup to my hidden wifi. Excellent video. Very bright spot light. Ifttt works well with this cam and responds quickly to send an email. From there I have a text sent to my phone.My complaints:Motion detection runs all the time – you can’t turn it off. I have notifications set for overnight so motion detected during the day doesn’t bother me. It fills up my sd card though.You can’t delete clips from the sd card. You need to format the card which is not a big deal I guess.I wanted it to detect people only but nope, all motion is detected.The smart night vision is slow to respond. The spotlight needs to come on to get a colour clip but there’s quite a lag. Could be the cooler weather affecting it. Night vision is qood though.This almost had me stumped. You can not set a time for notifications over night. You can go from 9pm to midnight. Then make a new time from 12:01am to 6am. I’m used to wyze and telus cams and they don’t do that.I can’t comment on weather resistance. Mine is outside but under a cover so is always dry.The app is ok once you get used to it. At least they don’t hound you to buy something like wyze does. I’m hoping for app and software improvements down the line.
