Dual-Lens Outdoor Camera 3K
EZVIZ H9c Dual 3K Review

3K + 3K (2880 x 1620)  |  Fixed 2.8mm + pan-tilt 6mm lenses  |  350° pan, 80° tilt  |  Auto tracking  |  microSD up to 512GB

Overview

The EZVIZ H9c Dual 3K is a wired outdoor camera with two 3K lenses: a fixed 2.8mm lens with a 132° diagonal view, and a 6mm lens on a pan-and-tilt head with a 64° diagonal view. EZVIZ lists 2880 x 1620 resolution at up to 15 frames per second. The moving lens pans 350° and tilts 80°, with auto tracking, and EZVIZ’s datasheet lists digital zoom on the 6mm lens. Night vision reaches 30 m in black and white, and the datasheet says colour night vision reaches 40 m when both lenses point the same way. Detection covers AI-powered human and vehicle shape detection and motion detection.

It has two-way talk, and EZVIZ’s datasheet adds active defence with a siren and strobe light. It runs from a DC 12V 1.5A power adapter and connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only or an RJ45 Ethernet port. Storage is a microSD card of up to 512GB or EZVIZ CloudPlay cloud storage. EZVIZ describes it as weatherproof but gives no IP number, and lists -30°C to 50°C. The datasheet lists smart integration with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, and says Google isn’t available in some languages and countries. Setup uses the EZVIZ app.

Good to Know

EZVIZ’s UK site also lists an H9c Dual 2K. This review covers the H9c Dual 3K, model CS-H9c-R100-8G55WKFL.

EZVIZ’s datasheet says the spotlights will not flash when colour night vision mode is on.

Setup & Installation

EZVIZ’s H9c user manual says to connect the power adapter cable to the camera’s power port, plug the adapter in and wait for the light to flash blue quickly. For a wired connection, connect the camera to your router with an Ethernet cable. For Wi-Fi, connect the camera to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network your phone is on.

Then tap + in the EZVIZ app, scan the QR code on the Quick Start Guide cover or on the body of the camera, and follow the app wizard. EZVIZ says holding the reset button for about 5 seconds while the camera is working restores all settings to default.

Who Should Buy It

Anyone who wants a wired outdoor camera with a wide fixed lens and a second 3K lens that pans, tilts and tracks movement.

Verdict

The EZVIZ H9c Dual 3K gives you two 3K lenses, one fixed with a 132° diagonal view and one that pans 350°, with auto tracking and colour night vision. If you want a 4K lens and an IP65 rating, the EZVIZ H80x Dual lists both, though its second lens is 1080p.
