We have bought several of 5he se cameras over time. Easy to install.
I use it for outdoor home security. I have two of them. Great camera for the price.
Very easy to set up.
Good picture quality, easy to use, sound is good, motion detector is fab alerts app on your phone to let you know when set. Highly recommended. This is the 2nd one we have ordered
Works really well alarm can unable alarm if wanted picture great fitting easy got it hard wired so no loss in connection all round very pleased
Good value for money camera that was easy to set up via the app
Note to the developer/makers….. please update the camera firmware for the model – CTQ3W… to only go off when it detects a human … currently i have 99 noftications ..altering me to wind & rain ”
I had been looking to get a CCTV for while and my head was a bit spinning looking into all of them and most where out of my price range. Then I saw Paul hibbert review the higher model of this camera on his YouTube channel it was a bit out of my budget , so I got the next best thing which was this one .
It was breeze to set up just encase of downloading the app
Creating an account & then pairing by scanning the QR code
On the camera
It does also take a memory card I currently have a sandisk A1 microsd card in mine at first it didn’t pick it up – but turning the camera off and on again solved this *I then got the option to format it and its recording & showing the videos in the app*
I was a bit worried when I went to download the app – & then saw that it was getting review bombed for not recording anymore only when there was motion detected but recording all the time – thankfully once I mounted the camera and it came up on the app that there was firmware up to V5.2.0.1 and this has solved this
I’m still trying to get the sensitivity right however it seems to go off at what looks like nothing when I look at the video after getting the notification at the moment
It was also a bit of a pain to fit as I have harling chip walls , so it required a heavy drill and masonry drill bit but once I got all the nesscary equipment it was simple after watching their YouTube video.
The video quality is really good , you can easily see clear faces even in the darkness & the light flashes as well when it detects motion -it also has an noise which can off when this happens as well – however I had to turn it off as its quiet loud and I didn’t want it disturbing my neighbour
Point to note It also an alexa skill which no longer works as the live view function has been taken away so you can no longer ask alexa to view your camera feed on your echo show devices or firestick and you can no longer set up a routine for the feed to show on your firestick when motion is detected which is really disappointing and something I wish I had known before I bought the camera.
If you have something like an nivida shield for example , you can set it up where the feed will appear of your TV -paul hibbert has a handy video.
All In all I’m happy with my purchase and it’s giving me peace of mind and you can’t put a price on that . But I I have only given three stars as due to the alexa skill issue.
If it changes I shall update the review
The app and the camera are working well so far. But there are a caveats. The WiFi is only available through the 2.4GHz range. The motion detection is VERY sensitive – not necessarily a bad thing but in a garden the wind moving through plants trees and leaves needs to be modified to a low setting to stop spurious notifications. The monitored area can also modified to eliminate problem areas too. The most harsh criticism is the 12v power adapter required to feed the device, this is NOT designed for outdoor use and requires its own enclosure. Something to bare in mind when setting up half way down the garden ! If your set up allows a drilled hole into a room in your house and you’re installing on an outside wall this is straight forward. If your installing away from an indoor mains supply you’ll need a qualified electrician !
Not much information little tricky to set up but hey isn’t everything these days.
Great camera easy to set up including the WiFi happy with purchase, unlike the nooie camera I just sent back that never worked what a load of junk that was
It’s ok nice looking. Easy to connect..
It’s to pricey
Amazing camera and worth every penny. Easy to set up, fantastic quality!
Motion detection is great, if anything it’s a bit too good.. it records anything and everything that moves, even rain/snow/flies/dust.
Pretty easy to assemble although I ended up purchasing the cloud storage. Not too bothered because it’s piece of mind at the end of the day for less than 5 a month.
Downside is I don’t get notifications when it picks something up.. could be a blessing because it does pick up so much but I’ve missed some things that I could have done with seeing ie missed deliveries when I haven’t heard the door.
Given that, it’s a great little camera with great quality.. I just need my husband to attach it to the wall now instead of resting in a plant pot!!

Good camera for the money it’s not brilliant but dose the job.
Good camera for the money it’s not brilliant but dose the job.
My only real negative is that the leads from the back of the camera are too short and don’t pass through the exterior and interior brickwork to be able to plug in the mains easily.
i brought 2 other makes of camera and sent them both back due to poor detection ,,,,these are better by far,,i brought 2 one for the back garden one for the front, if anything they are too sensitive especially when it rains , be fun when it snows ,,,,but if that means they detect everything then i`m happy,,, i put them on away from home mode and get notifications when they are set off but you can watch it back at different speeds so if you notice anything you can then stop it and watch in normal playback mode,, the night view around the back is not the best as its very dark but around the front is good with it being lighter,, if and when you do see something when you play it back you can zoom in and that is really good,,i have had the camera`s a month now and i`m very happy ,, i would recommend no problem
I have bought several of these cameras and friends have also purchased.. picture and audio are excellent easy to install . Animals and shades do set of the motion sensor but this doesn’t bother me. Has been used many times to identify trespassers on my property. I wouldn’t be without these. I use the audio to disperse gatherings which is very effective ! Just remember to purchase signs saying video & audio recording in place.

Great quality easy to install and the app on my phone is easy to navigate. My advice is to buy a 128gb micro SD instead of buying a subscription, it will work out cheaper.

Bought for my mum whos 80. She loves it, can work the app and it does exactly what it says it does.
Relatively easy to set up but does need a good Wifi signal. I ended up plugging in a range extender to enable live view as the app said the camera was off line. Fortunately I had one to hand.
I am still experimenting with the sensitivity of the motion detection which is a bit too sensitive. I have been gradually reducing sensitivity as it was being set off by moths and the shadows of birds flying overhead as well as switching on a light in the entrance overnight. Last night it was set off by the rain. Fortunately I use do not disturb on my phone overnight. You can also switch off movement detection on a schedule. Hence only 4 stars.
The quality of the picture and coverage angle is excellent. Night vision is monochrome but also good.
I have switched off auto install firmware updates as after the first update on installation I had to reset the camera and reinstall it on the app.
Overall a good piece of kit so far. that I do not regret buying I cannot comment on long term reliability yet.
NOTE: This review pertains to the EZVIS CTQ -3W model. ( The 3 MP model). (1080P)
Arrived on time and very well packed 10 out of 10 here. Set up very straight fwd and easy. BUT….. MAKE A NOTE of the VERIFICATION CODE on the camera body as you might need that at a later time.
PLUS POINTS:
1) Much Less likely to offer a home to spiders than bullet cameras with a Sunshield. Important if you plan to install the camera outdoor.
2) Loading of the Android and Apple Apps is fast…. I was most pleasantly surprised. Compared with my REOLINK camera its lightning fast. I have 17 cams here so am able to offer a reasonably accurate idea. EZVIS CLAIMS that their Cloudservers are EUROPE BASED.
3) App works flawlessly.
4) Docs say that the camera supports 256 micro SDXC card. I run a SANDISK 128 card and can confirm that it works fine. As 256 cards are expensive I have not tried this.
5) Picture quality is good and night IR picture quality is reasonably good too.
NEGATIVE POINTS.
Only two sofar. This camera will NOT work with Synology Surveillance Station or Blue Iris or the like.
Would have been nice to be able to POE support it.
CONCLUSION?
Am impressed and that takes some doing. So much so I bought a second one. Most appealing is that the app (and thus the displayed Picture) loads so dammed fast), even though I might be 100 miles away from the camera.
I can recommend this cam without reservations.

A really good camera with clear images. Recommend the additional sd card to record images instead of signing up to pay the monthly subs for cloud recording.
Easy to set up lovely clear picture great price on deal of the day
Amazing does as said works on my iPad amazing photo images

The alarm notification is spot on and offer a good preview of what triggered the alarm so that you can chose to playback the footage or not.
The camera set up has been really easy via the mobile app.
The only minor issue is the integration with Google home hub, the set up is not difficult, once the camera is added to the Ezviz app you just need to add the device via the Google home app, by allowing Ezviz app to be linked, note that if you add more cameras you will have to unlink and re link to the Google app, the issue I was mentioning is related to the stream on the hub, to note there is a 15 seconds delay from what you see on the screen to what you will see on your hub, so it is not live live, the other issue is that the camera does not always how first time and a black screen is displayed, with that in mind this is still a much better option than a Nest Cam, mush more expensive and with only a storage solution available. An advice for Google Home Hub connection is to have the Audio on the camera set to on, the video encryption switched off and I’ve noticed that on my router having the AP mode turned off allowed for the stream on the Hub to be more consistent.
In all I would recommend this product and I hope it will serve me for a few years to come.
I can only say that they are so good I have three of these!
and each one is fantastic

Fast delivery, good quality camera. very sensitive for motion detectio

Setting up – simple and easy, they come with cloud play or you can insert a microsd card for storage. For tech savvy people these cameras support RTSP (which took a lot of googling to find out) which means you can view the stream on the computer or use a NAS such as synology to record the stream.
The stream URL is below, with X.X.X.X corresponding to your internal camera IP address. And the verification code is on Bottom side of the camera with the serial number and QR code.
rtsp://admin:[email protected]/h264_stream
Camera – there is only one stream at 1080p 15fps with a bitrate of 2000kbps which is a lot for your home WiFi system you handle if you have multiple cameras. Over time the bitrate will fall and reach around 500kbps as it is variable, so don’t worry if in the beginning connection is funny.
Fixing to wall – simple easy, they provide template and screws, the main power cable is waterproof (has been raining and no issues) the Ethernet cable has a waterproof housing for those who want to hardwire.
App – App connectivity is great, everything works well, however the motion detection is sensitive, i recommend level 1 or 2 (from 0-6) as rain will set it off and constantly ping.
Problems – None yet, connection over WiFi is smooth and there is no buffering (~3 seconds at most) when using the EZVIZ app to view the cameras when you are away from home. But there notification scheduling needs a little work, they should incorporate geofencing as well as multiple time notification scheduling on the same day. They should also allow you to customise the stream to set constant bitrate and FPS.
Word of advice to people, WiFi connection is great BUT NOTHING beats hardwiring the camera using Ethernet cables to your router directly or via a network switch. If you have the option to hardwire, ALWAYS do this.
Really good camera. Works well a night i bought it to keep eye on my work van. It also allows me to keep an eye on kids turning the day. Good value for money. I have 3 camera 2 outside and 1 in.
Good camera for the price. 1080p claims are on the ambitious side. Easy enough set up and user friendly with echo spot and firestick systems. Turn off image encryption via settings if images not displayed on echo spot/show/fire device.
Fantastic value and quality, ap works well on smart phone but needs easy method to view on laptop.

It did not have a long enough lead and whist the camera is white the lead was black. We had to got an extension to wire outside and be able to plug in however EZVIZ customer services did help with this when contacted directly.
After 2 weeks in we had an issue with the SD card as it kept saying no card this was resolved by reformatting. Again customer services responded promptly. They did advise To use a PC to download some software ! And offered to replace the camera. However it’s working well now.
The camera itself is excellent quality imaging and I’m very with it . Can view all 4 cameras on one screen which is great
Customer care prompt and try hard to solve issues.
