1080p | 166° view | 4.3-inch touch screen | 4,600mAh battery | microSD up to 512GB (newer firmware)
Overview
The EZVIZ CP4 is a battery-powered peephole doorbell with a 4.3-inch colour touch screen. EZVIZ’s UK page lists 1080p from a 1/2.7in sensor and a 2.0mm lens with a 166° diagonal view (136° horizontal, 80° vertical). Infrared night vision reaches 5 m. PIR motion detection covers 110° and up to 6 m, and there are up to 5 ringtones with adjustable volume. There are two hardware versions, Type-C and Micro USB, which fit different peephole sizes, and it suits doors 35.0 to 104.9 mm thick.
It has a rechargeable 4,600mAh battery, and EZVIZ’s UK page says standby can reach up to 90 days, based on EZVIZ lab tests at 5 minutes of use a day. The manual says the battery is built in and not removable; you charge the panel from a power outlet with a 5V 2A adapter (sold separately) or from a portable charger. It takes a microSD card of up to 512GB on firmware V5.3.3 build 230110 or later, and EZVIZ CloudPlay storage needs a subscription. It uses 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and is set up in the EZVIZ app.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Cons
Good to Know
There are two hardware versions. EZVIZ lists a peephole range of 14 to 50 mm for the Type-C version and 16.5 to 50 mm for the Micro USB version, so check which version you are getting against the hole in your door.
EZVIZ’s manual says not to charge through the interface at the bottom, and not to charge the device above 45°C or below 0°C. A factory reset is done from the touch screen: Settings, Firmware, Default.
EZVIZ’s UK and EU product pages don’t mention Alexa or Google Assistant. The CP4 manual has a general section on using EZVIZ devices with Alexa and Google Assistant, and says that with Google Assistant you can activate your EZVIZ device and watch live by voice. That section doesn’t name the CP4.
Setup & Installation
EZVIZ’s CP4 manual says to download the EZVIZ app and register an account, then hold the panel’s power button for 3 to 5 seconds to power it on. Log in to the EZVIZ app, tap + in the upper-right corner of the Home screen to open the QR code scanner and scan the code, then select your router’s Wi-Fi and enter the password.
To fit it, pass the screws and the wire through the door (EZVIZ says rolling up the paper can help), push the camera gently against the door, then slide the panel into the mounting base.

Verdict
The EZVIZ CP4 pairs a 1080p camera with a 166° diagonal view, a 4.3-inch touch screen and a rechargeable 4,600mAh battery that EZVIZ rates at up to 90 days of standby in lab tests at 5 minutes of use a day. Check your peephole size against the Type-C and Micro USB versions, and note that the 5V 2A charging adapter is sold separately.
