- Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2024Style: H3c-2KVerified PurchaseI bought two of these security camera’s. The quality of the picture is amazing. Sound is great and so far working flawlessly. I love that I can use an sd card and not pay a yearly service fee! App is fantastic and user friendly as well. I have recommended this product to several neighbors, especially since we’ve had some shady characters hanging around.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2024Style: C3NVerified PurchaseThe camera's color resolution is great. It's easy to use, and the ability to use a micro memory card is a great feature. Happy with the purchase!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2021Style: C3NVerified PurchaseI 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2021Style: C3NVerified PurchaseThis is a really nice camera for home use. The camera it's self works great, but the documentation could be improved. I recently wanted to incorporate the camera into my home security system and I couldn't figure out why non of the NVR software programs would pick up on the camera. Come to find out there is a verification code it needed. Everything I read was you could find it on the tag on the camera. My cameras are installed in the celling 12 ft up and my days on a ladder have passed. So I wrote support and they got back to me the next business day and told me where I could find the code in the app. Once I had the code everything went fawlessly. This is why I think they could do a better job on documentation.
My other little complaint is that you have to use the app to arm and dearm the camera. It's a small issue but still kind of a pain.
All in all though with those two small issues it is a great camera. Easy setup and the app works quite well. At first I got a lot of false alerts but once I set the area of detection i haven't gotten any, until the other night and 2 spiders were fighting with one another if front of the camera. Pretty funny!
I would defiantly recommend the camera

- Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2022Style: C3NVerified PurchaseI 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.

Style: C3NVerified PurchaseThis is my 4th EZVIZ camera and they are just easy to use. I got it, used the provided template to pre-drill and install. Quickly hit the + in the app to add it to my network and works great. Will continue buying their products.
Philip RogersReviewed in Canada on May 8, 20225.0 out of 5 stars Great Value
Style: C3NVerified PurchaseThis is my third EZVIZ outdoor camera. You can’t beat the quality for the money. I live in Manitoba and these cameras survive our harsh winters (-35 C) and scorching summers (+35 C). I use an sd card in each for local recording. Very easy to set up and get on your network.
My only complaint: power cord is too short for most applications. Where possible, I use an extension cord, otherwise I extend the length of the dc cord with similar gauge speaker wire.

Style: C3NVerified PurchaseOnly 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.
