What is it?
A compact and feature-rich security camera that offers peace of mind for homeowners and small businesses alike.
Good points?
Equipped with a 1080p resolution and a wide-angle lens, it captures sharp and clear images, allowing you to monitor your required space in high-definition quality video.
Setting up the camera is a breeze thanks to its user-friendly mobile app. Compatible with both iOS and Android devices, the app guides you through the installation process with step-by-step instructions.
Once connected to your Wi-Fi network you can easily access the camera's live feed and customize settings such as motion detection, sound alerts, and night vision which excels in low-light conditions. The infrared LEDs provide clear visibility up to 30 feet (nine metres) even in complete darkness, ensuring all events are captured.
The camera offers two-way audio, enabling you to communicate with those on the other end. Whether it's checking on your pets or interacting with family members, the built-in speaker and microphone give seamless and clear communication.
The Ezviz C1C also comes with cloud storage options, allowing you to save and access recorded footage remotely. Additionally, it supports local storage through a microSD card, providing an extra layer of backup.
Bad points?
Being a budget device there are some premium features missing such as human detection which gives the ability to distinguish between swaying trees and human movement. This accuracy also reduces needless alert notifications.
Best for ...
Those looking for a reliable and feature-packed high-definition security camera that won’t cost the Earth.
Avoid if ...
You require more advanced settings such as motion zones, noise detection and human movement recognition.
Score: 8/10.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
