3MP (2048 x 1536) | 780 lm light, 3000-5700K | 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi 6 | 92dB siren | IP65 camera
Overview
The EZVIZ EL3 is a smart security wall light with a built-in camera. EZVIZ’s UK page lists 3MP (2048 x 1536) video at up to 25 frames per second, with a 130° diagonal view (99° horizontal, 71° vertical). Infrared night vision reaches 15 m, and EZVIZ’s datasheet lists colour night vision up to 15 m, which turns on automatically when the light is at full brightness. The light gives 780 lumens (+/-10%) with adjustable brightness and an adjustable colour temperature from 3000K to 5700K. It can turn on manually, on a schedule, or when it detects a person or a vehicle.
Detection covers AI human detection, vehicle detection and vehicle licence plate recognition, and two-way talk is supported. The datasheet lists a 92dB siren that sounds while the spotlights flash, and says this active defence feature is off by default. The EL3 runs from a 100-240V mains supply (25W). It has 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi 6, with Bluetooth and AP pairing. Storage is a microSD card of up to 512GB or EZVIZ cloud storage. The camera is rated IP65 and EZVIZ describes the light as weatherproof; it works from -30°C to 50°C, and EZVIZ’s datasheet says it works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.

Anyone who wants an outdoor wall light with a built-in 3MP camera, adjustable brightness and colour temperature, and a choice of 2.4GHz or 5GHz Wi-Fi, fitted by a qualified electrician.
Verdict
The EZVIZ EL3 puts a 3MP camera, licence plate recognition and an adjustable 780 lm light into one wall light, with 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi 6. For brighter 2,000 lm floodlights and a 100dB siren, look at the EZVIZ LC1C, which records in Full HD.
