Overview

The EZVIZ CB2 is a battery camera for indoors that measures 50.5 x 39.1 x 39.1 mm and weighs 86.8 g. EZVIZ’s UK page lists 1080p (1920 x 1080) at 15 frames per second from a 1/2.8in 2MP sensor and a 4mm F1.6 lens. Live view has 8x zoom, and infrared night vision reaches up to 5 m. It has smart human motion detection and two-way talk, and a magnetic base comes in the box.

It runs on a 2,000mAh rechargeable battery that EZVIZ says lasts up to 50 days, based on its lab test at 5 minutes of use a day. The box includes a power cable, but the DC 5V/1A adapter is sold separately. Storage is a microSD card of up to 512GB or EZVIZ CloudPlay, which needs a subscription. It connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, is set up in the EZVIZ app, and EZVIZ’s UK page lists smart integration with Google Assistant and Alexa. The UK page shows a two-year warranty.

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. To charge the camera you need a DC 5V/1A adapter, which is sold separately.
