1080p (1920 x 1080) | 350° pan, 80° tilt | Two-way talk | microSD up to 512GB | 2.4GHz Wi-Fi or Ethernet
Overview
The EZVIZ C8c 1080p is a wired outdoor pan-and-tilt camera that records 1080p (1920 x 1080) from a 1/2.8in sensor. Its 4mm F1.6 lens has an 84° horizontal and 100° diagonal view, and it pans 350° and tilts 80°. Night vision reaches 30 m. EZVIZ lists AI-powered human shape detection and motion detection, and two-way talk is supported. EZVIZ’s UK page lists it as model CS-C8c-R100-1K2WKFL, and EZVIZ’s datasheet for the same model code adds colour night vision and active defence with a siren and strobe light (the spotlights don’t flash when colour night vision mode is on).
It runs from a DC 12V 1A power adapter (maximum 12W) and connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only or an RJ45 Ethernet port. Storage is a microSD card of up to 512GB, or EZVIZ CloudPlay cloud storage. EZVIZ describes it as weatherproof but gives no IP number, and lists -30°C to 50°C. It is set up in the EZVIZ app. EZVIZ’s datasheet lists smart integration with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, and says Google isn’t available in every language and country.

Good to Know
EZVIZ’s UK site also lists an older C8C with a different model code (CS-C8C). This review covers the C8c 1080p, model CS-C8c-R100-1K2WKFL, so check the listing.
Setup & Installation
EZVIZ’s C8c user manual says to plug the camera in with the supplied adapter and wait for the light to flash blue quickly. For a wired connection, connect it to your router with an Ethernet cable (sold separately); a slow-flashing blue light means it is connected to the internet. For Wi-Fi, use the same 2.4GHz network as your phone.
In the EZVIZ app, tap + in the top-right corner to open Scan QR Code, scan the QR code on the Quick Start Guide cover or on the camera body, and follow the wizard. EZVIZ says holding the reset button for about 5 seconds while the camera is working restores all settings to default.

Who Should Buy It
Anyone who wants a wired outdoor pan-and-tilt camera with two-way talk, room for a 512GB microSD card and smart integration with Google Assistant or Alexa.
Verdict
The EZVIZ C8c 1080p pairs a 350° pan with two-way talk, microSD up to 512GB and AI human detection. The EZVIZ C8C Lite pans further, to 352° with a 95° tilt, but EZVIZ lists only a microphone for it and microSD up to 256GB.
