Setup & Installation

EZVIZ’s BC2 user manual says to download and install the EZVIZ app from the App Store or Google Play. If the camera is switched off, hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn it on. Then, on the app’s Home screen, tap + in the upper-right corner to open Scan QR Code and scan the QR code to add the camera.

If the battery runs out, the manual says to charge the camera from a socket with a 5V 2A power adapter, which is sold separately. It also says not to charge it when the temperature is above 45 degrees or below 0 degrees. To start again, press and hold the reset button for 4 seconds to restart the camera and set everything back to default.

Who Should Buy It

Anyone who wants an indoor battery camera with a magnetic base and Alexa or Google Assistant support, for a spot without a socket.

Verdict

The EZVIZ BC2 pairs a 2,000mAh battery rated at up to 50 days (about 5 minutes of use a day) with 1080p video, smart human motion detection and a magnetic base. On EZVIZ’s UK pages, the CB2 takes larger microSD cards (up to 512GB) and charges from a 5V/1A adapter rather than 5V/2A.
