EZVIZ BC1C Kit Battery-Powered Camera with Solar Panel
Customer Q&A
1. Can the ezviz bc1c single camera system be expanded on?
- BC1C camera can be used alone or work with EZVIZ solar panel. Surely, you can add more BC1C model cameras if you want, there is no limitations of units.
2. Is this compatible with ezviz bc1 2-cam kit security camera outdoor wireless?
- BC1C camera does not compatible with BC1 2-cam kit base. This is a standalone camera and can be used without base.
3. Can it do continuous 24/7 recording?
- BC1C can continuously 24/7 recording. But we do not recommend you use this function, it will decrease the battery usage time after one charge. Motion detection recording is more suitable for this battery camera.
4. Does this work with Sandisk SD card?
- Since the BC1C model has built in 32GB storage, the function is as same as SD card, which can be stored around 7 months based on motion detection recording. The camera could not be put any other SD card.

So far so good, third camera I’ve tried and it’s the best picture quality and motion sensor of all. Very impressed would highly recommend. I’ll probably get another for a separate pert of the house.
Very good product easy to install and alerts you very quickly when someone sets the camera off , recommend this camera highly so far had it three months now .
In the end I bought 8 not using the solar panel at present as the battery’s are really lasting , very easy to set up and such a bonus you don’t have to buy storage , even without the spotlights on at night the picture is so good which I have turned of on a couple !! Best buy !! 🙂
I’m really surprised at the quality of this camera build quality and picture quality is spot on to set it up was a doddle the apps quite good also I would definitely recommend
Very impressed with solar panel , as the camera has limted record time segments due to saving power , when changed setting to, plugged in. It will record continuously thus using lots of power from the battery, but in day light hours it’s fine to do so as the solar panel chargers the camera very well and for just over 60 pounds for the set, very good
Great quality, feels good and stays charged via solar no problems.
Easy to set up and change settings. Easy to install. I find the picture quality to be fine, and the camera has proved, so far, to be reliable. Have now purchased and installed another one, and have brought a further one for the rear of the house. My experience so far is that the current two in operation work well, connect to the phone with no issue and respond to movement. Well worth a punt on these.
I’m very impressed with this outdoor camera system. I have other Ezviz cameras, however invested in this for a clear front view of my property and extremely glad that i did. The footage is extremely clear, even in the night time, the battery last long (i’m a month in and still no sign of needing to recharge) and it gives accurate alerts of any activity. Would definitely recommend for that extra bit of security and peace of mind.
I have been searching for a outdoor security camera for a while and made a right decision buying this little security camera (Ezviz CB3).
The built of this camera is superb. Picture quality is very clear during days and even during night time it is very good colour quality. Built in alarm and spot lights are good to deter intruders which I like the most.
Two ways talk is very useful to communicate when you are not at home. You can also customise your voice alert on the camera which is useful.
Notifications comes instantly on my phone app and the internet connection hasn’t drop so far. Happy!
It says battery life is 120 days which I assumed it depends on the usesages. After using for more than 2 weeks it is only showing very small percentage drop. So I think battery life will last nearer to 120 days.
I have highly recommended this camera to my friends/families and some of them have purchased this camera which they are very help with it.
Good camera made premium, good picture and happy with the price.
Found this to be extremely easy to setup and add to my existing ezviz system, charges quickly and battery life is very good, although I have no installed a the ezviz solar charger to keep it topped up. Image quality is very good and remains good even when zoomed in. Having built in memory means I don’t have to subscribe to ezvizs cloud storage
I had one put up on each side of my house. So easy no electric wiring as fully solar. No drilling through house required just to attach to outside wall. Battery is still 100% from solar through winter months. Night vision is brilliant. Light flashes as a warning. Very good range & picture is very good. Have since purchased a further 2 for family.
A good camera, took a while to set up, the instructions and not the clearest, but once set up and running, have not had a problem with it, no problem with WiFi connection, but it’s only about 5 meters from the router. The only thing i would say, is that I’m going to get nowhere near the battery life stated, its down to 25% after 2 months. Not used the solar charger yet, so can’t comment on its performance. The app could be be better, feels a bit dated, and not as user friendly as could be, but it’s usable once you get used to it.
We have 10 EZVIZ cameras, some wired, a few solar and they work brilliantly on the same network. Would definitely recommend. Easy to set up and use.
Great price, easy to set up and has stayed at 100% power sue to lots of power saving options.
Great picture, pretty comprehensive app too.
I own a few ezviz products and installed many others doorbells/security lights but this solar powered camera is probably the best quality yet. I will be ordering more for clients for sure!
Video and sound excellent quality. Solar battery is always at 100%. Provided excellent CCTV when someone attempted to steal my ca
Worth buying for a solo cam or even a couple but if building a system then I’d go another route, the battery life is ok although to get the full 270 days it needs to be in a location with little to no motion. I am yet to use the solar panel and it works fine without it. App is not too bad and the camera definitely works as it should. Quality is there too. Overall I’m happy
Good camera can take a hit from a hammer from intruders and can see people face clean as I found out.
It has everything you’ll need I especially like the feature of recording my own message to play when it detects a human not just motio
For a record it is a review for Ezviz BC1C as seen on the picture, not that older version which has got over a 1K reviews here… which is not fair in my opinion. I guess, seller is trying to promote with the good feedbacks but let me say.. this is way better one!! Quality is outstanding, no falls alarms as I only have selected human detection to avoid any animals or insects bombarding my phone. 3 days later battery is still 100% after heavy use. App is very simple to use, don’t know what’s the big fuss about it ( but then again maybe its for the older version camera) Night vision works perfect in colour, have not tried black and white and it covers whole my front garden with two cars so all in all I am super happy. Set up is just a breeze, easiest thing I have done. So all in all I highly recommend as a stand alone camera.
A brilliant piece of technology that works well in the UK and is reasonably priced. A sturdy piece of equipment I thoroughly recommend it. It is a pity they did not have the combined solar battery with this when I enquired a few months ago for another site. Happy to see progress.
My review applies to the Ezviz BC1C security camera.
This camera is of good quality and the performance is very good but do not expect the advertised battery life of 210 days as my camera has used 25% battery capacity in two weeks given a daily average detection of 8 events lasting about 20 seconds. Human AI detection works but is not foolproof as one particular cat seems to trigger a record event every night! Overall a good buy when on a special promotion deal.
My main gripe concerns the negative response I’ve had from Customer Support when I contacted them to purchase an additional Mounting Plate, as I wanted to set up and alternate BC1C between two locations; the BC1C kit is supplied with two mounts (screw and magnetic) but only ONE Mounting Plate. Customer Support via phone / email stated: “we don’t sell accessory separately. please kindly understand” I did try again – same response.
So be wary and don’t break that Mounting Plate!

Well made device, some problems pairing it as my router output was dual band and the 5G kept overpowering the required 2.4gh for the camera, instructions did say to switch off the 5gh during instalation, but this ony set up wasn’t very simple, eventually got it to pick up the 2.4gh signal from an extender router and was able to complete the set up succesfully, now working perfectly. Perhaps a little more info on the use and recovery of stored videos on a micro sd card could be made available (it may be that its on the website, which i haven’t interrogated yet. The small quick start booklet has only limited coverage, but of course in umpteen languages 99% superfluous to any one other tban their main tongue.
Or I should have just brought 30 of them on Prime day and sold them..
From having one standalone camera to a system of 8 cameras. These cameras tick every box.
Apart from the excellent picture and sound. the two way talk and alarm is very good.
The all-important connection is fast.
I use a 64GB memory card for continued recording and get over a week of recording, a 128GB with give nearly 3 weeks.
If you set it to only record motion, then you’ll have months of recording.
Be careful of buying second hand, Once these cameras are registered and set up to your account, They CAN NOT be added to another account unless the original account deletes it, You can share it with friends or family, but that is done via the App.
This is to makes the cameras useless to anyone else if stolen.
These cameras have more features than you’ll ever need or use. But means you can set each one to your personal requirements.
Apart from turning on and off alerts, you can tailor them to the time and day you want them.
I’ve had one camera vandalised and smashed (along with two other cameras) and my only gripe would be the inferred was a bit too bright when a face is up close at night. But a strong little camera took the beating and recorded it all (unlike one of the others that went in to shock and stopped recording before being hit..)
Will try and upload the clip here.
If anyone is having trouble with connecting this to the app because of wifi being 5ghz instead of 2ghz then put your phone into airplane mode, turn wifi on and move away until wifi signal drops…. the camera will then install and set up on EZVIZ app !
Get a big memory card for it and you wont need to use cloud.
I now have 4 Ezviz cams. 2 outdoors and 2 indoors. Can view all on the app. Can keep an eye on front and back of house, my dog and my conures.. Absolutely love it !
Added another one of these to our home so having 4 in total now we have full 360 degrees 24 hour surveillance of our home and all enabled on our mobile Phones.. The picture quality is extremely good and with the siren which can be deactivated if required its certainly a deterrent..
I have bought s 128 GB class 10 which was recommended by other customers and that won’t initiate eaghter can you please advise
Amazon have sent me a free replacement card micro s d class 10 I found searching the web the answer .
1) switch off camera.
2) insert card out of the out of the packet.
3)switch camera on leave for 5 minutes .
4)on your phone go into ezviz app select storage and click on initiate.
5)when it as finished it’s initiating and formatting it’s ready just click on picture as normal.
The only thing I found was the power cable was too short, so I had to extent the power cable and add an extra 1 meter so the plug would reach the wall socket. I was kinda expecting to have to do this anyway due to where I needed the camera placed outside.
I have set up the mobile app and desktop app and both were very easy to set up. The camera has little to no lag (unlike the the other very well known brand I was using which sometimes had up to 20 minutes lag!).
I will be purchasing more of these cameras in the near future along with the Network Video Recorder.
All in all, i’m very happy with this camera, which certainly does a better job than some of the bigger names out there.
