Wow! So easy to install and feature packed! I really like that you can check battery life from the app, and that human tracking feature is great. I was, also impressed with how clear the night photoge was. 👍 It's great to see assistant Vera chip in from time to time and assist with the reviews😄 Very nice security Camera Chris👌👌

[@Techtablets]

Vera is always about to supervise! 😄

[@dylandesjardins3187]

Man, I just wanna say, you're so underrated. I love how thorough you are with every review. I don't know how you don't have 10 million subscribers! Keep up the good work man, I always appreciate your content.

[@Techtablets]

Thanks for the cool comment! I'll be lucky if I make it to 500k subscribers at my current rate of new subscribers.

[@pmpalihena]

Does the alarm starts itself when someone walk pass the camera or you can only do it manually?

[@MuntherAl-Omairi-rm7tg]

Hi Mr. Chris . Which one is the best,ezviz eb8 or anran 4G lte ?

[@klcgamers6904]

Vera is a great assistant please show more of her helping

[@Techtablets]

She makes an appearance in almost all of my phone reviews.

[@asan1050]

Thanks!

[@Techtablets]

Welcome!

[@muhammadarismasatria2917]

Hi There, what a lovely vid you have. it's already 9 Months and how the CB8 condition for now? is it still function perfectly due to placement directly under the sun without cover?

[@Techtablets]

Hi, still going fine, I've charged it twice now. And cleaned the lens a few times.

[@kevinwalter5083]

Hi Chris. When you set up the account, can other household members use their own phones to access the camera?

[@Techtablets]

Hi, if they use the same login details it should be possible.

[@gan247]

They could create their own accounts and you are able to share whichever camera(s) you want with their accounts.

[@gosekinz]

man Chris what happened to the Shed? has it always looked like that!?

[@Techtablets]

No it flooded once and since then it's rotting and falling down :( We need to pull it down and replace it. Just need to find the time!

[@TienTran-uq6to]

I think it should come with option allow you to plug in power cable if you want to record 24/7 and dont want to purchase solar panel or swappable battery

[@Techtablets]

Actually, you can do that, USB 5v 2A is enough to keep it running. I just charged the battery today, it hit 20% took over 2 months

[@sohaib_choudhary4410]

How are you I need some help from you I want to install a camera automatic moving camera Wich is automatic at 360 degrees can you recommend me

[@Techtablets]

I recommend this one it's the best I've tested kzbin.info/www/bejne/barRh3-hqL2SfdU

[@chinaviewjj1]

Does this camera come with the solar panel included.

[@Techtablets]

No that is sold separate.

[@emreaydin482]

Do you know the wifi range of it my front gate is 16ft away

[@Techtablets]

That will depend on your routers range and various conditions like does the signal have to go though thick walls etc

We got EZVIZ cameras back in 2020 from amazon and it was a mess cause they did not want to take them back when these cameras did not deliver as promised. Luckily it was an amazon purchase which finally helped when amazon decided for them to take it back. Not real nice experience even though they had described how great they would work and showed features that the cameras were not able to deliver. Yes, were not cheap but at the end a total disappointment. We got REOLINKs which worked flawlessly under windows and app.

[@Techtablets]

That's a shame at least Amazon got your back with the return at least. I've only started to test their cameras out, so didn't try the older models.

[@hari9396]

Got both ezviz and reolink. Reolink far more advance apps option.

[@machwasmakerspace362]

I bought a YT2 Camera of them and installation has been real very easy. That for I bought the CS-HB8 which is much mor expensive. But with the last one it has shown impossible to connect to my WiFi. And then I receiced several times the same respnse from the "suppoprt" by saying the same thing that can be found in the manual. Teh local support don't speak the local language, they don't take note of the issues and they seems not willing to solve issues. Thus the cameras are basicly not bad, but the support is more than just a shame. And if there is no valid support when issues shows up, then the product itself is worthless as well. This is why I go ahead to inform otherds about this.

[@vanhoe0]

Can you connect it straight to the phone without using a router?

[@Techtablets]

No you need to have a router with it and the camera connects to that. It can't do camera to phone unfortunately.

[@kelvin6212]

Good videos thanks how much is this model?

[@Techtablets]

It's on Amazon for 127 pounds

[@cwylia]

Whats the IP rating of this camera?

[@Techtablets]

They don't state it but only list it as weather proof.

[@midhunkjairaj4124]

What's it's price & weight ?

[@Techtablets]

127 GBP and it's around 850 grams, thanks.

[@midhunkjairaj4124]

Oh dear, I guess try their official website? www.ezviz.com/

[@chm2]

I was interested in this camera and was looking into where to buy this. Then I learned these are genocide cameras and that's why I can't find any US sellers.

[@Falcordog1212]

ONVIF support? Doesn't seem like it.... The biggest issue with most chinese cams are their locked proprietary APIs and total reliance on the manufacturer's cloud-bound software in order to operate the devices. IoT appliances are a huge security vulnrability thesedays. You're practically forced to provide your WiFi credentials to an entity you can never trust. Your credentials are kept stored on some database, essentially enabling full network access to potential malicious players, be it the manufacturers themselves, other third parties/hackers and worse. I'd guess that at least 95% of people purchasing these products have no clue how to securely configure their networks using designated sandboxed VLANs and such to minimise the risk. And even then...VLANs can also be circumvented. Only buy cams that can be completely cut off from proprietary cloud infrastructure provided by the manufacturer. Run your own self hosted cloud and use cams that support open source standards that put the choice of which software platforms to use back in your own hanhds.

[@Techtablets]

No, no ONVIF support. And what you're mentioning is a risk anything like this including the Robot vacuums.

[@Falcordog1212]

​@@Techtablets Indeed. Yet devices such as robo vacs can easily and effectively be confined to local networks only thus eliminating any remote access vulnrability. That is unless you absolutely must maintain the ability to execute a living room cleanup while being out and about... Cams see and hear everything within their respective range. Imagine the extortion potential a bad actor can exploit leveraging some spicy piece of footage...

[@CerealforProtein]

Looks too out of place imo, like it's an unsightly piece of Chinese spy hardware. That alone is a deterrent for me.

[@Techtablets]

😄😄 Well if my wall was whiter and cleaner it wouldn't stand out so much but I see what you mean.

[@criticalbill8962]

what is the difference if this is a Chinese spy hardware or American ? When You buying American one do you feel safer ?

[@machwasmakerspace362]

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT!!! I have only isues with it and no help from mthe support! I did exchange the camera allready by the dealer and with the exchanged one exactly the same isues. Support does not give any help, but refers only to what is written allready in the manual. And I did spend meanwhile hours to get help with no succes.

[@Techtablets]

Thanks for the feedback, my unit is still in use and perfect fine no issues. Not good at all your experience. I will not remove such comments!

[@machwasmakerspace362]

Yes, my cam works as well with several common routers. BUT impossible to connect with ubifi which are known as reliable more sophisticated devices! And if I contact support to always receive the same reply, it is no support but just a rip off! To receive only messages that can be found in the manual is no help.As well as the local support does not speak the local language
