2K (2048 x 1296) | 7-inch touch screen | 2-wire connection | Badge, app and screen unlock | 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi
Overview
The EZVIZ CP7 is a wired video intercom with an outdoor intercom panel and a 7-inch indoor touch screen monitor (1024 x 600). The panel’s camera records 2K (2048 x 1296) from a 1/2.7in low-light sensor through a 2.0mm lens with a 162° diagonal view, and two 850 nm infrared lights give night vision up to 6 m in EZVIZ’s spec table (its feature text says 5 m). It has smart human motion detection, lingering detection, a tamper alarm, long-distance video two-way talk and one doorbell button whose light can be set on or off.
The monitor runs from a 24V 1A mains adapter (100-240V AC), and the outdoor panel takes 24V DC from the screen. They connect by wire: 2-wire, and EZVIZ says it also works with 4-wire. You can unlock three ways: RFID badge (three in the box), remote unlock in the app or unlock from the indoor display. It records to microSD up to 512GB, with EZVIZ CloudPlay cloud storage on subscription, and connects over 2.4GHz or 5GHz Wi-Fi. EZVIZ describes the panel as waterproof, with a shield cover, but gives no IP number.

Pros & Cons

Cons
Good to Know
Gate and door lock: EZVIZ’s datasheet says the intercom panel provides a dry-contact connection, without an electric current, for an automated gate button, with a gate breaking capacity of 12V/2A. For an electric strike it says: “The electric strike plate or lock that you order must have a mechanical memory; the power supply to the electric strike plate or lock must not exceed 12V/1.1A”. EZVIZ lists 2 wiring ports and a 1-10 m distance. Connecting the CP7 to a gate or door lock is a job for a qualified installer.
EZVIZ lists up to 20 ringtones, and its datasheet says the outdoor doorbell has only one default ringtone, which can’t be changed.
Setup & Installation
EZVIZ’s datasheet says to check the CP7 user manual for installation requirements and product compatibility. Connecting the CP7 to a gate or door lock is a job for a qualified installer.
For the app, these are EZVIZ’s general add-device steps rather than CP7-specific ones: download the EZVIZ app, register an EZVIZ account with your email or phone number and log in. Tap + on the app’s home page, scan the QR code on the device label and follow the instructions in the app to connect it to your Wi-Fi. EZVIZ also lists a Quick Start Guide in the box.

Who Should Buy It
Anyone who wants a wired 2K video intercom with a 7-inch indoor screen and the option to open a gate or electric lock by badge, app or monitor.
Verdict
The EZVIZ CP7 is a wired intercom system: a 2K outdoor panel, a 7-inch indoor touch screen and three ways to unlock. Its gate output is rated 12V/2A and an electric strike’s supply must not exceed 12V/1.1A, so plan on a qualified installer for that part.
