EZVIZ BC1 battery-powered security camera

Smart home security vendor EZVIZ has added a wireless security camera to its product offering. The battery-powered BC1 is sold together with a base station and can deliver steady performance for up to 365 days on a single battery charge. It includes sharp 1080p video quality, colour night vision, two-way communication and active defence features.

Equipped with a 12,900 mAh rechargeable battery, the camera has long battery life and gives users freedom in deciding the location of installation without worrying where their power outlets are. Performance is supported by the included base station, which ensures a stronger Wi-Fi connection even at extended distances.

The product renders vivid, colourful imaging at night with two built-in spotlights and is IP66 rated to withstand most weather conditions. The magnetic base eliminates common installation considerations, as no cables, wires, brackets or professional installers are required.

Integrating a passive infrared sensor and person-shape detection algorithm, the camera is able to distinguish humans from other moving objects. Upon detection of humans, it will send mobile alerts to the users, while setting off a loud siren and flashing two spotlights to deter would-be trespassers on the spot.

For users who seek to scale up their home security system, EZVIZ offers flexible kit options. Users can choose to bundle up one, two, or three BC1 cameras with a single base station. Video storage is also flexible — users can store videos on local microSD cards or subscribe to EZVIZ CloudPlay for unlimited cloud storage.
