1080p  |  340° pan, 55° tilt  |  Colour night vision up to 5 m  |  Human shape detection  |  microSD up to 512GB

Overview

The EZVIZ CP1 Pro is a plug-in pan-tilt camera for indoors. EZVIZ’s UK page lists 1080p (1920 x 1080) from a 1/3in sensor and a 4mm F1.6 lens with a 90° diagonal view (80° horizontal, 43° vertical). It pans 340° and tilts 55°, and live view has 8x zoom. EZVIZ lists colour night vision up to 5 m and infrared night vision up to 10 m. Detection covers motion, human shapes, loud noise and patrol mode, and it has auto-tracking and two-way calling.

It runs from a DC 5V/1A supply over USB-C (5W max), and the box includes a power adapter, a power cable, a mounting plate, a screw kit and a drill template. Storage options are a microSD card of up to 512GB and EZVIZ CloudPlay cloud storage, which EZVIZ says is offered only in certain markets. It connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, the only band EZVIZ lists, and has no Ethernet port. It is set up in the EZVIZ app. The UK page doesn’t name Alexa or Google Assistant, but EZVIZ’s English user manual for this camera has a general section on using EZVIZ devices with both.

Setup & Installation

EZVIZ’s English user manual for the CP1 Pro (CP1-R105) says to download and install the EZVIZ app from the App Store or Google Play first. Plug the power cable into the camera, then plug the power adapter into a socket. When the light flashes blue quickly, the camera is ready for Wi-Fi setup: add it in the app by tapping + and scanning the QR code.

If you use a microSD card, the manual recommends Class 10 with a maximum of 512GB, and says to initialise the card in the EZVIZ app before using it. To start again, press and hold the reset button for 4 seconds; the camera restarts and sets everything back to default.

Who Should Buy It

Anyone who wants a plug-in indoor pan-tilt camera with colour night vision, human shape detection and room for a 512GB microSD card.

Verdict

The EZVIZ CP1 Pro brings colour night vision, human shape and loud noise detection and auto-tracking to a 340° pan-tilt design, but EZVIZ lists 1080p and no Ethernet port. If you want 2560 x 1440 and a wired connection, the CP1 4MP lists both.
