Not waterproof! Trips circuit breaker!
Update after 3 months:After 3 months my Ezviz light/camera started to trip my circuit breaker every time it rains. Even though I sealed all around the outside of the unit where the light’s housing meets the bricks, water still got in. Unfortunately, there are many ways water can penetrate this light/camera: through the lens, microphone, speaker, motion sensor, SD card slot, or the 2 lights.After removing the light I found the leak was coming from where the camera is connected to the body of the unit. So I completely removed this light and installed a standard LED.Amazon was great with the return. I rang them and explained what happened and they sent me a prepaid postage label. Apparently Amazon handles the guarantee for ezviz products rather than ezviz themselves. So I bought an ezviz battery operated doorbell camera instead. This way the camera cannot trip my circuit breaker if it develops a leak!Original review:The best thing about Ezviz is that they don’t force you to buy cloud storage. If you’re happy to install an SD card inside the camera and store the videos in the camera, then the only cost is the camera and the SD card. The app is free.You can adjust the brightness of the lights, which affects both when you turn on the lights and for when the motion detection is triggered (there are not independent settings for each mode). Also, you can link the light motion detection to the camera so the camera starts recording and sends you a notification (if enabled) if motion is detected. You can adjust the distance of the motion detection, but, unlike other Ezviz models, there is NO “intelligent detection” (this camera cannot tell the difference between a person, animal, car, etc) and you CANNOT set “detection zones”. The only motion detection setting is a choice from 0 to 6.You must use the app to turn on the light. At full power the lights are very bright! I was worried about disturbing my neighbours if the motion detection went off at night, so I set my lights to 50%.As for the camera, it’s amazing. Please note this model is 1080p, not 4k, but still plenty good. It has a wide angled lens which allows you to see a lot and the night vision is fantastic. You can use your phone from anywhere in the world to view the recordings or watch the live feed (provided your phone’s internet connection is fast enough).Some reviewers said the light’s motion detection cannot be linked to the camera, but I can confirm you can link it under the “Light settings”. My guess is that Ezviz updated the app and/or firmware to make this possible. Also, the app and firmware could be updated at some point to add more features and improve the interface, but that’s certainly not guaranteed.Installation was easy. Remove the old light, but before you disconnect the wires, take a photo so you can note which colour wires from your house get connected to the camera. My house has 4 cables going to the outdoor light but only 3 were used. Then I filled the old mounting holes with plumber’s epoxy, then used the back of the light to mark the location of the 2 new holes, then used a masonry drill bit to make new holes, inserted the anchors, connected the power cables, then screwed on the light. My only complaint is that the light’s base cannot hold much cable, so you may have to shorten the lead.

Camear & Light
I would recommend this ,Quality-Clear image during day and night,Functionality- Mostly from the appStorage- Build in 32g and cloud, which is on a subscription.Value for money- Got a good deal as it was in the sale.A few Negative pointsCamear is only moved manually by hand .When installing there’s only two screw holes in the bracket but you get four screws, so you’ll need to drill the other two holes. Please see pictureWhere the mains cable goes between the bracket is very small, so you’ll need a thin mains cable. Please see pictureMake sure you upload the app first then scan the QR code on the hosing off the camera. Then you can complete the install after your power up the camera. Please see pictureThe light bulb cannot be changed according to the support team from Ezviz

Dont update the firmware
This camera unit fit the bill for me on the face of it. My first one worked for24 hours, then the firmware update ruined it. After waiting for a reply from ezviz technical, NO REPLY, i returned the unit as faulty for a replacement. The nee one arrived thanks to Amazon. The unit works as it should, but the night vision gives a totally washed out image of anyone up close. So, limited use. It wont read a number plate at night either or have any proper detail at the bottom of my one car long driveway. So, if you are expecting a full hd image dont buy this one. But for a general cctv, ok. Dont rely on the ezviz support as they are hopeless.

Absolute Rubbish
Had this for a month now and everything about it sucks! There is no apparent way of setting recording time unless you want it on all the time? The lights activate no matter what the setting is – it only takes a fly to set them off. I’ve fitted it now and it’s too much trouble to send back so I’m hoping potential intruders don’t realise how useless it is!

Sicher und praktisch zugleichDie Lichtkamera für die Haustür funktioniert einwandfrei. Die Bildqualität ist sehr gut, auch bei Dunkelheit. Die Bewegungserkennung reagiert zuverlässig, und das Licht geht automatisch an. So fühlt man sich direkt sicherer. Installation war unkompliziert – klare Kaufempfehlung!

SUPER BUY.
