The EZVIZ Indoor Security Cam shutter is equipped with an infrared (IR) cut-off filter, located between the image sensor and the lens. The camera can capture footage in low light conditions better and in more vivid quality than a night vision camera without an IR cut filter. The image sensor also integrates 3DNR (Digital Noise Reduction, which helps clearing up the graininess of low light images. 3DNR works similarly to Digital wide dynamic range (D-WDR), which does a similar thing via software.
The infrared night vision range varies from camera to camera. The camera night vision is rated for up to 12 meters and produces the familiar bright, ghostly image you get with nigh vision security cameras. Depending on how much light there is available, the detail of the night vision footage can very. The overall night vision image quality of the EZVIZ Indoor Security Cam is good enough to capture very good detail of objects in an almost dark room.
The EZVIZ Indoor Security Cam is a Wi-Fi-powered security camera; hence it doesn't require an Ethernet cable to connect to a network but, it only supports Wifi 2.4GHz; hence it doesn't support the 5GHz Wifi b and that provides faster and smoother video streaming. That being said, 2.4GHz has a longer distance range.
The Indoor Security Cam can live stream video at a maximum of 25fps but not constantly as the frames per second (fps) does change during network transmission; hence live streaming can sometimes appear choppy and not as smooth when video streams at a constant 25 (fps). The quality of the streaming video (i.e. fps) does depend on your network's bandwidth so, if the Indoor Security Cam is connected to slow Internet network you can expect slower fps.
The Indoor Security Cam supports between 11 Mbps and a maximum of 72 Mbps Wifi connections, which is enough bandwidth to stream smooth video/audio in full HD. In fact, around 10 Mbps internet connection is enough. Another thing to keep in mind with wireless devices that only support 2.4GHz is that they are only compatible with 2.4GHz networks. If you have a dual band router at home and/or only use the 5GHz Wifi band, the EZVIZ Indoor Security Cam 1080p won't be able to connect unless you switch the router to the 2.4GHz band, which will be an inconvenience.
Fortunately, since the EZVIZ Indoor Security Cam connects to a mobile app, you can always adjust the radio frequency from the smartphone the EZVIZ app is connected to without having to change radio frequency settings from your router..
The Indoor Security Cam companion app camera also features Two-Way Talk, which is a two-way audio function that lets you send audio via your smartphone loudspeaker and receive audio via the built-in microphone of the camera. The 2-way audio is a very neat feature that turns the camera into a wireless indoor doorbell that you can use to speak to someone while you aren't at home.
The built-microphone has good sensitivity so, if you're a pet owner, you will be able to use the Indoor Security Cam 2-way audio to talk to your furry friend and reassure them, especially when there is a thunderstorm and you are away from home.
From the EZVIZ app, you are also able to update the firmware and enable/disable motion detection alerts if you don't want to receive smartphone notifications every time the camera senses movement. As well as being able to record footage to a memory card, the EZVIZ app gives you the ability to live stream what the camera is seeing.
Adding the camera to the EZVIZ app is straightforward. Simply download the app from the App Store and/or Google Play Store and scan the QR code number located on the base of the camera to add the camera.
While the The EZVIZ Indoor Security Cam doesn't require a cable to connect to the internet, it does require one in order to operate. A 9 feet long USB cable and USB-A wall charger is included. The USB cable has a standard USB-A on one end and a micro USB connector on the other end. The wall charger can output 5V/1A though, the camera only requires 5V/0.8A to operate and only consumes 4 watts of power.
Without an internal rechargeable battery, the Indoor Security Cam isn't as portable or convenient as a wireless security camera. However, one main advantage cable-powered cameras do have is unlimited supply of power. Someone wanting to use the camera as a baby monitor will, probably, won't mind sacrificing portability for the security a cable-powered security camera offers.

The EZVIZ Indoor Security Cam has a rubberized hard plastic construction with two components: the pivoting base and the actual camera body, which has a circular shape design with the camera lens on the front, alongside the IR led light and status led, which indicates when the camera is running and/or connected via Wifi. Both leds can be turned off from the EZVIZ app, as well as notifications.
The micro USB port is located on the bottom of the camera, alongside the reset thumb button, which is a physical button that you can press, as opposed to the reset button that is usually contained within a pinhole and can only be accessed by using a paperclip.

The microSD card slot is located on the side and supports microSD cards up to 256 GB so, if you use a 256GB card, the camera will be able to store up to 256 GB of recorded footage.
You can also backup images to EZVIZ Cloud, which is an encrypted online storage solution that comes with the EZVIZ Indoor Security Cam although, currently the EZVIZ Cloud service is only available for customers living in Germany, France, Italy and Spain.
The pivoting base consists of a base (the feet off the camera) with a long ball-joint stem that allows the EZVIZ Indoor Security Cam body to be rotated up and down up to 180 degrees.
The base is magnetized with a strong magnetic connection that enables the camera to attach to any metal surface, or to the included metal plate to mount the camera up on a wall.
