1080p (1920 x 1080) | 352° pan, 95° tilt | 30 m night vision | AI human detection | 2.4GHz Wi-Fi or Ethernet
Overview
The EZVIZ C8C Lite is a wired outdoor pan-and-tilt camera that records 1080p (1920 x 1080) from a 1/2.7in sensor. It pans 352° and tilts 95°, and its spec table gives a 4mm F1.6 lens with an 87° horizontal and 105° diagonal view. Night vision reaches 30 m, and AI-powered human shape detection is built in. For audio, EZVIZ lists a microphone. EZVIZ’s UK page doesn’t list a siren, colour night vision or two-way talk for this model.
It runs from a DC 12V 1A power adapter (maximum 6W, according to EZVIZ’s datasheet) and connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only or an RJ45 Ethernet port. Storage is a microSD card of up to 256GB, or EZVIZ CloudPlay storage, which EZVIZ says is offered only in certain markets. EZVIZ describes it as weatherproof but gives no IP number, and lists an operating range of -30°C to 60°C. The box includes a power adapter, screw kit, waterproof kit and drill template. EZVIZ’s general add-device steps use the EZVIZ app.

Cons
Good to Know
EZVIZ’s spec table lists two lens lines, 4mm and 6mm, without saying whether they are two lenses or two versions. The view angles in this review are for the 4mm line.
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.

Who Should Buy It
Anyone who wants a 1080p wired outdoor camera that pans 352° and picks out people with AI human shape detection.
Verdict
The EZVIZ C8C Lite covers the basics: 1080p, a 352° pan, 30 m night vision and AI human shape detection. If you want a siren, spotlights and two-way talk with the same pan and tilt range, the EZVIZ C8W lists all three and records at 2K+.
