What is it?
A simple but powerful video doorbell from Ezviz.
Good points?
The DB2 video doorbell is the easiest and most flexible exterior security camera you will fit as there is no tricky wiring involved. A rechargeable battery allows to the device to function fully without the need for an electrician.
Installation is straightforward thanks to either the supplied heavy duty mounting stickers or screws and both methods will have you up and running in minutes. With a runtime of 115 days, the 5200mAh battery holds ample power to secure your property before the next recharge is needed.
Ezviz is known for its quality camera features and has endowed the DB2 with enhanced night vision, an ultra-wide field of view and human motion detection which means no event will go undetected day or night.
Video quality is equally as impressive with 2K resolution providing sharp images that many smartphones would be proud of. Your home WiFi network is used to communicate with the camera over the 2.4GHz band which covers the most distance.
As a smart doorbell, the device allows two-way talk via the Ezviz smartphone app which is intuitive to operate and non-cluttered. This gives a heightened user experience and allows you to find your desired feature quickly with minimal clicks.
Bad points?
It would have been a nice touch for Ezviz to provide a second battery to continue using the camera while the other was charging.
Best for...
Those looking to monitor and communicate with visitors while you are away.
Avoid if...
You’d rather deal converse with people face to face for a more personable touch.
Score: 9/10.

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
