- Today, we are going to check and test out EZVIZ's WIFi video doorbell, the DB1. A lot of you have asked for me to check this video doorbell out. Also, EZVIZ will have a newer model coming out the DB1C and I am also interested in testing this out.
We will do the unboxing, check out its features, set it up, do the installation and run some tests like video and audio quality, motion detection and doorbell push to notifications times and see if this no monthly contract, micro SD card local storage WiFi video doorbell from EZVIZ is the video doorbell camera that you are waiting for.
Some notable specs:
This is a wired video doorbell and you can use your existing chime
180° FOV
1536 x 2014 pixel resolution QXGA
Full duplex 2 way audio

Great to see more options and competition in the smart doorbell category. Thanks for featuring these!

Finally, Someone that knows how to do a review. Thank you.
Excellent review video. Excellent attention to detail and covered all the key points a buyer needs to know about for this product!! You could definitely teach some people a thing or two about completing product reviews. Thank you!!
Hello LifeHackster.
Love your show. I have purchased some security cameras based on your reviews
(Wyze security cameras) I appreciate what you are doing and I thank you.
Thank You. I appreciate it.
How are the cameras 11 months on?
That's a perfect review, thanks! 👍👍
Thanks for the awesome review and guide, really helped us out!!
Excellente démonstration. Good Job
Many Thanks From Belgium !
Excellent review as usual. Thank you.
Thank you.
well made review - excellent!
Many thanks from Belgium !
You are welcome.
Great review, thanks.
Great video.. well organised and detailed
Perfect review!
Great video as always!!!
Thank you. I appreciate it...
LifeHackster hi sir! I have a very honest question for you. I’ve been searching for a good smart doorbell and have watched some of your videos. However, I’m really trying to buy something that’s from a non-chinese company. Any suggestions? I like the eufy but found out that it’s a chinese company.
Great review video
Is that the EZVIZ DB1C?
Great video as usual!
Sorry.. not the DB1C..
Great review! All in all its a great product, i have it myself.
Only thing i miss is some way of getting everything with the google hub going smoother and faster.
Ive had up to 20 sec of waiting time before the stream gets on, or as fast as 6-7 sec.
In a optimal world i would have it at max 2 sec hehe.
Informative Video!!!
Thank you..
Can't wait for the LC1C review!
You are just waiting for the review or you are joining the contest? let me know..
Got it..No Brand and comment is not specific to the contest..
@@LifeHackster It was my cheeky way to enter what was in the box, but I understand if I didn't follow the rules properly. The brand is a given since no one else makes the LC1C, and it would be a bit awkward for EZVIZ to sponsor a prize for a contest they weren't apart of. My apologies for these assumptions.
@@Trackbikez You're a Winner in my book...
@@DavidL-DaKing Well thanks! 👍👍
Can you please review the new 2020 ring video doorbell 2nd generation? I'm curious to see how it compares to the ring doorbell 3 and if the 3 is worth the extra money or not. Love your videos! You do the most in depth reviews I've seen. Definitely a big help when determining what product to buy. Thanks so much for all your hard work!
Many many thanks. God bless you
Thank You. I appreciate it...
Very good and a good value
Good job 👍
Many Thanks for your review. I just bought one after watching your video. Installation is quite straight forward. It is now up and running with my mobile phone. One of the reasons I bought this camera is it being RTSP compatible. I wonder if you know how we can connect it to NVRs like Blue Iris. Many Thanks.
Hi there, I'm quite a fan of your review videos. After watching many of your video doorbell videos. I was really appreciate the performance you so well demonstrated of the DB1, especially that it allows me to use my existing chime as well as performs well in many categories. After careful review, I'm really interested with the EZVIZ DB1C (newer model). I also noticed that the App features are greatly improved since you filmed this original video. I live in Montreal Canada, do you think that this would be a solid choice in my colder climate in winter? Also, what other similar specked doorbells would you recommend as an alternative? Thanks in advance.
Behind the EZVID DB1 is the installation package in the white box (power kit, mini level, wire harness, fuse wire, u connection wire, wire connectors, screws and anchor).
The EZVID DB1 looks a lot like the Hikvision DS-HD1. I will looking at the EZVID or the Hikvision smart doorbell to install at my house.
Nice review as always, LH, Any updates on how this has held up or did you not keep this for future review? I keep reading how this works for 3-4mos then it fails miserably. Your thoughts if any? Thanks for sharing, brother!
My favourite part of this review 3:45
I don't have that extra step to answer, the first step is not on Android. I appreciate the 5 Gh wifi, not seen it on any other dorbell. Looking forward to see DB1S. Thanks for the good review!
Yes.. it is only with Apple devices...
Not sure if anyone gives a shit but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my brother for the last months =)
@Isaiah Aydin yup, I've been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself =)
Would you be able to show how you built and attached the wood box for the doorbell? I need to do the same thing and I like the look of it. Also makes it easier to hide wires behind it.
Flash of screen answer is definitely ezviz style camera. Guessing the C3X
Thanks for the review. I've installed the DB1 and work perfect with EZVIZ app, but I can only stream video with Alexa, no notifications when someone ring ! Have've you got the same issue ?
Thank you for nice video review. BTW, I have a question about this Ezviz DB1 doorbell camera. When someone press the door bell, the Amazon Echo 5 will AUTOMATIC TURN ON LIVE VIEW feature? Or we have to manual tell the Amazon Echo 5 to show live view feature?
Please make a comparison between these EZVIZ Video Doorbell and the All-new Ring Video Doorbell (2nd Gen)!!... Thanks man. You're great!
I'll put it in my video list.. thanks...
It would not be a fair comparison, Only new feature on the 2nd Gen Ring is 1080p vs 720p on 1st Gen. This Doorbell (DB) has a 3MP (2048x1536) Res. at 30FPS. You cannot even really compare the Ring Pro to this Res. either. The eufy has the best Res. out there now (2560x1920) but very limited compared to this DB in features. Also this DB has a Fish-Eye Lens so it is hard to compare to other DBs, Res. that is. Feature wise this DB Rocks!!! But this DB is more for Advanced Users/Owners who run their own NVR/NAS/Synology, Blue Iris, etc. setups.
Hi can you please display a video of the power kit being installed thank you
Great review. Go slow on the wiring next time so I can do it 😊. Can u do a review on EZVIZ DB2C? It seems like it’s only available in other countries not in USA. Which USA seller has the new db2c for decent price I wonder. I like the fact that a pre record 3 seconds in advance unlike other cameras but it’s not in color under zero light at night.
Hello lifehackster im a fan of your work, i always watch your vlog and learned a lot from it,. I just have a question for this doorbell though? Can we use the plug in adaptor of the ring doorbell for it? I dont have any chime i used the plug in chime for my ring doorbell, if ever i want to ourchase this db1 can i use it on my ring plug in chime as well? TIA
live feed(small fisheye portrait mode and NOT fullscreen landscape like pc app) is like 8secs behind on the google nest 8in hub..on the echo show5 its less but it shows it in FULLscreen landscape mode which is nice
I'm sorry Hackster but what doorbell are you using now for everyday?
The DB1C is out now. Could you do a video on that one please?
Will it work with alexa for doorbell announcements or chime through echos?
I just purchased a remo s bell, only to find out that it will be a major issue to connect it to my duel band WiFi, also their customer service is horrible, I’m returning it and going to purchase this camera
You haven't reviewed the newer EZVIZ DB2 2K doorbell yet. It appears the required 4 metre proximity of the chime to the doorbell may be limited in some larger households, also the ring notification via the app which rings the phone rather than send a notification like on other doorbells is a slower way to go about it.
What if I already have a wireless door bell. So no cables to connect the doorbell camera!
Maybe the ezviz spotlight camera 🤞🏻
Almost... but not their spotlight.. it is an EZVIZ product though..
I want to use the doorbell for automatic recording with moition detection. Whats the maximum length of the recording when - does it record from the start until the end of the movement?
I kinda want this one now 😭. There's so many options, which is a good thing lol, but I just want to get the best one currently. I got ring pro on prime day, haven't installed yet, but all the reviews shows it's audio is poor. Ugh. Well the important thing is video aha. I wish it was better quality
Arlo ultra 2 is out now.. review that.. and the sunba PTZ
Sorry, I might be a bit slow... but what does the little box in the actual doorbell do? Because the door bell for me doesn’t ring in the inside. Is this box only to stop the ringing inside the house?
db1c is launch. Would you consider for review?
Will ezviz make a battery version video doorbell in the future?
Hi, do you know how long can the doorbell record? Will ot
Record 24/7? Of only when someone press on the bell, and how long will it record each times?
I like how it calls you and wished ring did the same thing
I have the Ring Pro and I rather it not call me.. I just want to see who's at the door...then decide if i want to answer or not.
Yes.. this is how Arlo Video doorbell works too...
@@macster1457 You can turn off the calling feature. You will get a push notification so you can view who is at your door.
This Doorbell Rocks!!!, have had mine for a year now.
My house don’t have the chime. Can i use the apdapter DC 12~24volt for supply camera db1. I just wanna the camera call to my phone. If yes please explain to me. I waiting you answer. Thanks.
Hey LifeHackster, (as you already know I'm a huge fan) what is the name of the triangle lights behind you?
Looks like nanoleaf aurora RGB light panel
What kind of , “ fan” are you?! Sony, Panasonic?! 🤔🙃
It is nanoleaf -> amzn.to/3i7j7Wa
thank you..
My door bell stop ringing ( inside the house) I check the transformer power and it’s good 19 VAC the door bell said it works with 16 VAC any idea? Thanks.
ezviz lc1c!
Yes. it is but a bit late..next time.
@@LifeHackster Ah! :( Should be a drawing instead of first comment, that way you get more comments and we can a better chance! :)
so can it send signal to unlock electronic lock ?
How do you delete recordings on you phone and or iPad and is there option to delete “all” versus one by one?
Can you tell which is better overall: eufy doorbell Vs ezviz doorbell. They have both local storage.
ezviz is best if u dont mind only 1080p. ezviz allows for onvif support after flashing with laview firmware, thus u can setup storage on your own cloud. Internal storage you lose if your doorbell ever gets stolen.
Great Tute on the DB1 and its functions. I moved into a property with this exact doorbell - does anyone know how the heck I get the black cover off?!?: I need a hex/allen or screwdriver but which size? Ive tried everyone I own and the red fishing and beeping when anyone passes by is driving me and the neighbours nuts! Thank you in advance people.
I have a ring outdoor camera set up......on the ring app I'm unable to see anything on the thumbnail it just shows the picture of the camera??? It gives me alerts for motion and allows me to see the motion alerts and live view is fine....but I'm unable to see anything on the thumbnail...I already reset the camera and reset my router......any ideas???
Did you ever get your hands on the new DB1C? I just upgraded my wifi setup and my RemoBell S is giving me trouble because it only does 2.4ghz wifi. This ezviz looks exactly the same, even what you got in the box was exactly the same as the RemoBell S crazy.
I’m returning my Remobell because it’s not compatible with duel band WiFi 2.4 ghz -5ghz. I’ve tryed contacting remos customer service hoping to find a way to connect to my WiFi router, they give you a number to call, but all you get is a recording telling you to go to their website and find the frequently asked questions or fill out a form and they will get back, WTH ? That was a joke! After watching this review, I ll just order this one,
How did you get the hub to display the db1?
Has anyone successfully wired up two of these to one mechanical chime that has 3 terminals? One would be for the front door and one for the rear door. The terminals would be Rear, Transformer, Front. The instructions don't cover this and one review on Amazon said it worked at first but the chime stopped working after 2 days.
What does it mean when there are red dots around the camera part?
I’m the lucky 🍀 winner! Thanks!! 🥴
:)..sorry..
LifeHackster lol.
Just put te power kit filter parallel to the transformer side. Much more space than inside the gong.
How good is it for water proof?
Is there a battery powered one
Can't find the Db1c on their website
Can you access to the rtsp stream ? I'd like to record the stream on my Synology NAS
You probably can..check on the comments and there is a link to a forum that discusses more about this doorbell..
Lol the beep scared me.
You can mute it on the settings...
Have you tried the new DB1C if so which one is better?
So there's only 1 way communication with the doorbell?
I have this door bell for almost 2 years now and it never worked properly. My mechanical door bell keep getting disconnected. At some point, the entire camera goes offline. I am running firmware V5.2.4 build 230404. Anybody else has this issue?
I think it is the Swann flood light camera
Sorry.. not the Swann..
So when you press the door button, will it send notification to Google nest hub ?
No.. you have to summon Google to open up live view..
does it support blueiris?
Does this support RTSP?
Hello Lifehackster! How would you compare the EZVIZ DB1 and DB1C with the Eufy Video Doorbell? I am looking for a wired doorbell unit, would love ONVIF compatibility and possibility to communicate with Google. Thx!
which one did you pick? I'm in the same boat
you did not mentioned the connectivity speed of your wifi at home as this is dual band . Also , you forgot to show the screen display between the field of view as this has two options settings. Hope you take into account all that matters for user to buy and get to know the actual performance.
Nelly's security -
NSC-DB2 doorbell
5mp wifi cube camera
No. not Nelly's.. sorry...
@@LifeHackster lolz, no sorry that was my fault. not the box but something to review
This doorbell constantly goes offline on me anyone have this same issue?
This looks similar to the remobell s doorbell. Everything in the box is the exact same to the contents inside the remobell s’
Ezviz DB1C wifi video doorbell. For my guess
Sorry... not their new doorbell...I want to review that though..
Ezviz LC1 floodlight ?
Almost.. but not the LC1..you are missing one letter..sorry..
could be eufy outdoor cam that is hiding?
Sorry.. not the Eufy..
Thanks for the review. BTW It’s not “A one” person detection, it is AI (Artificial Intelligence).
is this sub brand of hikvision ?
Please help me decide!! Ezviz doorbell or Eufy doorbell??
Can the call feature for Ezviz be taken off so that you just get a notification? I dont like that.
Either one works..the call feature is how EZVIZ DB1 does their 2 way talk..
@@LifeHackster thanks! Love your thorough reviews!!
I cannot find the c3x camera anywhere.
EZVIZ said sometime in July...it will be restocked...
🤞
Can you mail me the camera!! I love all your videos. I live in Canada Toronto
I like these features....
But....... i think the box has to be reolink Argus 3.
Sorry.. not the Argus 3..
Has anyone gotten the right yet?
Eufy AK-T84201W1
I just removed this doorbell cam.. it just keeps dropping wifi even though I have a strong signal. Running multiple Unifi access points and it still drops 4-5 times a night. Their customer support is not too good either, basically their hardware is perfect and your WiFi must be the issue lol.
Oh and great channel btw 😄
Sorry.. not Eufy...
Ezvid C3X
Sorry.. not the C3X
Wyze outdoor cam
What about it?! 🤔
Preston Cheap BT headphones test guy its in the box behind the camera in review
Sorry.. not the Wyze outdoor.. I pre-ordered it though..
LifeHackster can you mention if the wyze cam outdoors HUB will be compatible with wyze cam v2 and wyze pan in your review when you make it. Thanks!
