1080p (1920 x 1080) | Colour night vision to 15 m | 5,200mAh battery | microSD up to 256GB | 2.4GHz Wi-Fi
Overview
The EZVIZ CB3 is a battery-powered camera, and EZVIZ’s UK page lists 1080p (1920 x 1080) video from a 1/2.9in 2MP sensor. The 2.8mm F2.0 lens gives a 128° diagonal and 108° horizontal view, and both infrared and colour night vision reach 15 m. Smart human motion detection combines a PIR sensor with a person-shape algorithm. It also has a siren and strobe light, customisable voice alerts and two-way audio.
The 5,200mAh battery lasts up to 120 days, according to EZVIZ lab tests based on 5 minutes of use a day. It charges at DC 5V 2A, and EZVIZ’s manual says both the 5V 2A power adapter and the solar panel need to be bought separately. Video goes to a microSD card of up to 256GB or to EZVIZ CloudPlay, which needs a subscription. It connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, is set up in the EZVIZ app, and EZVIZ lists Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. EZVIZ describes it as weatherproof but gives no IP number.

Setup & Installation
Charge the camera first if needed, using a 5V 2A adapter (EZVIZ’s manual says it is sold separately). If it is switched off, hold the RESET button for 2 seconds to power it on, then hold RESET for 4 seconds until the light flashes blue quickly, which means it is ready for Wi-Fi setup. Log in to the EZVIZ app, tap + in the top right to open Scan QR Code, scan the QR code on the Quick Start Guide cover or on the camera body, and follow the app wizard to finish Wi-Fi setup.
In the manual’s light guide, slow-flashing blue means the camera is working properly, slow-flashing green means charging and solid green means fully charged. To switch it off, short-press the button three times within one second.
