EZVIZ Wired Video Doorbell Camera, Require Existing Wiring System, 2.4G/5GHz Wi-Fi, Support 256 GB SD Card, No Monthly Fee, Human Motion Detection, 5M IR Night Vision, 170° View, Hardwired (DB1C)

This video doorbell is requires a mains supply. It does not operate from a battery. If you already have a bell transformer this is a doddle to fit. If not, you'll need to install a transformer and run a wire to the unit. This is not difficult, but needs to be considered. Fitting the doorbell is really easy with all the necessary bits and pieces,even including a drill bit and screwdriver. You fit a bracket and then clip and secure the doorbell to the bracket. Configuring the doorbell to access your WiFi is also pretty straightforward once you have installed the ezviz app on your phone. Once configured, the doorbell can link to the ezviz door chime using the wireless network. Video from the doorbell can be seen on the phone app, stored in the (subscription) cloud, or locally on a micro SD memory card. It is also possible to use an existing CCTV video recorder to store video from the doorbell (conditions apply). In summary, a great choice if you don't want to keep changing batteries and don't want to pay a monthly subscription.

I've been involved in IT since it's earliest days so I'm not new when it comes to installing items such as EZVIZ door cam, but the guide provided for the installation of the EZVIZ DB1C is possibly the worse I've ever come across. You won't be surprised to discover that not a hint is provided that a £90 professional installation is strongly recommended before you've purchased the damn thing, it's only after purchase that you're made aware of this important fact. Not only is the brief installation and user manual supplied with the camera wholly inadequate, but what the manual tells you're supposed to see on the Ezviz app screen and what you actually see on the screen bear little relation to one another. When running the app, pages after page pop up without a hint of what you're supposed to do or write. For example, no mention is made is made in the manual about the fingerprint recognition system (which doesn't work) used for logging in. As a further example of slap-dash packaging, the security plate covering for the SD card slot is secured with two grub screws but no suitable screwdriver with the correct bit is provided to remove the cover to enable you to insert the SD card, and yet, for some bizarre reason, you're provided with a masonry drill complete with wall plugs and screws for fixing the camera to brickwork, when in fact, in the vast majority of cases the camera will be fixed to the front door. Most unsettling of all is that calls on my mobile are routed through the door cam. For what possible reason would I want my private calls to be heard on the device fixed outside on my front door!!!! This even happens when the cam is not connected to the power supply. Again, no mention anywhere at all in the user guide as to how to disable this function. You have been warned. Waste your money on this piece of rubbish and it'll end up languishing in the drawer.

Excellent

I bought this because I didn't want to be like every other home with a Ring door bell. Also having examined many Ring door bells they also seemed to miss things. I'll state now I've never owned a Ring door bell, but I have used a lot during my work. I saw this Ezviz unit reviewed on GeekStreet and was very interested in it - mainly because it can work with an existing door chime. So I went and bought one. It's not been that easy to install (as I needed a 12v transformer) but when I did get it running - I was very happy with the results. The doorbell works perfectly with my existing chime (in fact it sounds better than ever) and the CCTV element is excellent. Storing on the local SD card means I don't have to upload to the cloud and pay for storage. As it works with multiple types of Wifi it also works at the higher speeds so connection has never been an issue. A lot of visitors to my house have been impressed that I can monitor then using my mobile device anywhere. The call quality is also better I think compared when compared to the Ring door bell. Put simply this is a bit less user friendly to install but the results are probably better than others in the market. Overall I'm very pleased to have made an effort with it. Weeks after I set it up, it still works well.

Very pleased with this, I use it with a memory card because I don't want to subscribe to a cloud (don't use a cheap memory card , they are not compatible) . You can reduce or increase the motion sensitivity ( it can get a little annoying to be notified of every car that drives past on a road near a school...) The range and zoom is quite good too, I can see to the end of my front garden the pavement and both sides of the road and the front of the house right opposite (residential road that is three cars wide ) . My front door is inside a cove so I can't say what it's like in the rain as my lense has never had rain on it...but I am happy with this purchase. The audio works both ways and I was able to use this from abroad too ( providing you have good and consistent wifi ) . I've managed to share the link with two other people ( I don't know if there is any limitation on it )

Deluso dal ritardo nel ricevere la notifica e dalla ricezione del segnale wi fi

produit vendu avec une prise anglaise !!!! et ce n'est pas stipulé !!!
