Overview

The EZVIZ C6CN is a plug-in pan-tilt camera for indoors. EZVIZ’s UK page lists 1080p (1920 x 1080) from a 1/3in sensor and a 4mm F1.6 lens with a 94° diagonal view (81° horizontal, 42° vertical). It pans 340° and tilts 120°, and has up to 8x zoom. Infrared night vision reaches 10 m, and EZVIZ lists 0 lux minimum illumination with IR. It has AI person detection, and two-way talk with a 5 m microphone pickup.

It runs from a DC 5V/1A supply, and the box includes a power adapter, a 3 m power cable, a base, a screw kit and a drill template. Recordings can go to a microSD card of up to 256GB or to EZVIZ Cloud Storage. It connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) or a 10/100 Ethernet port, and it is set up in the EZVIZ app. EZVIZ’s page calls it “Smart Home Enabled” but doesn’t name a platform, and neither the UK page nor the datasheet mentions Alexa or Google Assistant.

Setup & Installation

These are EZVIZ’s general steps for adding a device, from its support FAQ. Install the EZVIZ app from the App Store or Google Play, then register an EZVIZ account with your email address or phone number and log in. EZVIZ then says to reset the camera by holding the reset button for about 10-15 seconds, and to wait until the light flashes red and blue alternately or blue quickly. Some cameras show no light change; in that case EZVIZ says to just wait about a minute.

Connect your phone to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only. Tap + on the app’s home page and scan the QR code on the device label, which is usually on the back or bottom, then follow the app’s instructions to connect the camera to your Wi-Fi. EZVIZ says the verification code is normally printed on the device label too.
