The EZVIZ app allows users to view, listen and speak to visitors, pets or family members via their smartphone or PC/Mac. Thanks to the two-way talk system and internal microphone, audio pickup is supported within five meters.

A PIR Sensor means the C1C can also decipher whether some movement doesn’t require an alert, such as pets wandering around at home.

However, when something out of the ordinary happens, push notifications are sent to the user’s phone, to flag that motion has been detected by the heat sensors and settings on the device.

Users can view live footage or playback on the app, where they can also set schedules, create detection areas and share previous filming. An IR LED ensures video footage remains clear, even at night, when viewing is extended up to 12 meters.
