Overview
The EZVIZ C8c 3K is a wired outdoor pan-and-tilt camera. EZVIZ’s UK page lists it as model CS-C8c-5MP, recording 3K (2880 x 1620) from a 1/3in sensor through a 4mm F1.6 lens with a 91° horizontal and 108° diagonal view. EZVIZ’s UK page for this model is headed “C8c 3K 2PK”, but its in-box list names a single C8c 3K camera. EZVIZ UK also lists a newer C8c 3K (R210), which is a different model with different specs. The C8c 3K covered here pans 350° and tilts 80°. EZVIZ’s UK spec table gives black and white night vision up to 30 m, and EZVIZ’s EU and global pages for the same model code (CS-C8c-5MP) add colour night vision, active defence with a siren and strobe light, and live view with 8x zoom. Detection covers AI-powered human shape detection, vehicle shape detection and motion detection, and two-way talk is supported.
It runs from a DC 12V 1A power adapter 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. EZVIZ’s datasheet lists smart integration with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, and says Google isn’t available in every language and country. EZVIZ’s general add-device steps use the EZVIZ app.

Setup & Installation
These are EZVIZ’s general add-device steps from its support pages. Download the EZVIZ app, register an EZVIZ account with your email or phone number and log in. Reset the camera by holding its reset button for about 10-15 seconds, then wait until the light flashes red and blue alternately or flashes blue quickly. EZVIZ says some cameras show no light change, and that’s fine: 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; EZVIZ says the label is on the back or bottom of the device. Then follow the app’s instructions to connect the camera to your Wi-Fi. Once it is added to your account, you can view the camera.
