Full HD (1920 x 1080) | 2,000 lm floodlights | 100dB siren | 270° PIR sensor | IP65 camera
Overview
The EZVIZ LC1C is a security light camera that is hardwired to the mains and combines a Full HD camera with floodlights. The camera records 1920 x 1080 at 25 frames per second, with a 121° diagonal view (103° horizontal, 57° vertical) and infrared night vision up to 25 m. The floodlights give 2,000 lumens (+/-10%) at 3000K. A 270° PIR sensor with a 10 m range turns the lights on when it detects people or animals in the dark, and they turn off 90 seconds after motion stops. There is also a built-in 100dB siren, and two-way audio through its microphone and speaker.
It runs from a 100-240V mains supply and draws up to 35W. EZVIZ notes that the electrical cable, which should already be in your wall, isn’t in the box. It connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only. You can record to a microSD card of up to 256GB, and EZVIZ says its cloud storage is offered only in some countries. In the EZVIZ app you can switch the floodlights on yourself and adjust their brightness. The camera is rated IP65 and works from -30°C to 50°C. The LC1C comes in black or white, with the same model code.

Which Version Should You Buy?
Setup & Installation
Mains wiring is a job for a qualified electrician, with the power off at the consumer unit. EZVIZ’s quick start guide says to shut off the electricity at the breaker that controls the light’s circuit and to make sure the wall or ceiling is strong enough to hold three times the weight of the light camera. The wall’s earth, live and neutral wires connect to the light camera’s yellow-green, brown and blue wires, then the power to the circuit is turned back on.
Next, connect your phone to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. On the Home screen of the EZVIZ app, tap + in the top-right corner to open the QR code scanner, scan the QR code on the security light camera and follow the app wizard to finish the Wi-Fi setup. To restart it and reset all settings to default, EZVIZ says to hold the reset button for 5 seconds.

Verdict
The EZVIZ LC1C combines 2,000 lm floodlights, a 270° PIR sensor and a 100dB siren with a Full HD camera. If you’d rather have a 3MP camera and 5GHz Wi-Fi in a wall light, the EZVIZ EL3 lists both.
