this is EZVIZ's cb8 it's a smart home battery camera so this wireless security camera does have
a 360 panoramic view to it because of the way the camera is set up so it can spin around 340
degrees not quite 360. that will be going around completely but because of the camera it can see
360 degrees it also goes up and down 65 degrees the design of it the housing is weatherproof so
that means it can be in the rain it can be out in the sun that's not going to be a problem
and its battery capacity is 10 400 milliamp hours so it will go for up to 210 days without needing
to be charged and if you do get the optional solar panel for it then it will just go and
go topping up that battery when it is in the sun of course so it has smart human detection it can
detect a person and then also track them when it's recording in the 2k resolution we've got a
night vision mode there is an app for it and is even a built-in loudspeaker microphone so you
can have two-way communication so i just wanted to point out full disclosure here that this is a
sponsored video so i'll be going over the design of it unboxing and i'll set it up install it
give you some sample footage of the easy viz cb8 here inside the box of the cb8 you will
find some screws for mounting it a drill template for the mount a micro usb cable for charging it it
does take a while to charge it was about six or so hours eight hours to fully charge it but it
will last for 210 days there is a mounting guide a service card quick start guide and then important
safety information then of course i'll camera the cb8 from ezviz so it does have a very strong
bracket here so this mounting bracket you can either mount it under an archway or a safety
you have it right up on the top there or then wall mount so you can see there are some holes
here for the mounting screws those screws that are of course included in the box and it simply just
slots in like so and then clips in place here but i will be going over the installation and show you
where i will be mounting the cb8 so this camera will spin around 340 degrees and that's how it
gets full coverage so it's actually 360 because of the lens the field of view so the camera's gonna
be able to see everywhere this goes right around and then the camera can go up and down here 65
degrees so along the bottom you'll see here that we do have a status led we've got a reset button
and just behind this little plate here you need to actually screw it off we've got our micro micro sd
card slot and it's screwed in so that's good so no one can just walk along and pull the micro sd card
out now it is encrypted so there are microphones on board we have passive infrared detection we do
have some bright leds in there and these are the status lights you can see and of course the 2k
camera right there and later on i will give you sample footage from it and lastly along here you
will find then our loudspeaker so microphones built in the loudspeaker and have clear
two-way conversations to a communication we've got a power on button here and just under this
little rubber gasket you will find then of course the micro sd charging port and it will take about
six or eight hours or so to charge it as mentioned but it is going to last a very long time with a 10
400 milliamp hour battery that is in this part here of the base of the cb8 now for
mounting points there are many locations they do recommend that you install it over two meters
high i think it's 2.8 so i could put it up here and that would give me quite a good view if i
actually mounted it right on the corner here but my wife isn't too fond of me drilling more holes
in the house especially so i'm going to be placing it on this wall and that will give
me coverage because it can actually rotate right around of course of all of this side of the house
the little temporary pool that we do have and then along down the side too so
that's quite a large area that it is able to cover here the cb8 another great location would be here
in the archway that way i can get a view of what's out in front of the house then i can also see what
is in here this is normally the area where my cat vera would be so i can keep an eye on here
she sleeps up on the table here she's got her little beards there and food so that would be
another idea to mount it there the only thing is in this location it's going to be a little
bit more difficult if you did decide to get a solar panel to put it in an archway and i do have
my assistant vera right here to help me with the installation like she has with some other easy vis
security cameras that i've covered using that included drill template you can easily just mark
and line up where you have to drill the holes for of course the mounting bracket now i've already
got some here so i've just distanced one that's apart correctly already got that all measured up
and now it's just simply a fact of just drilling the holes and then we'll put that bracket on
so now that the bracket is in place there's a little clip here at the top and you simply
just need to slot it in if you're installing it on a wall if you're installing it say on a roof
or an arch it's going to be the same now you can press down on this or simply just slide and press
it right in as i'm doing so now you will hear a clip a click there we go well it's just clipped
into place now so that is secure the camera is in place and that's firm there that's not going to go
anywhere so that installation was fairly easy it was just two screws that i had to screw into it
the brace and then slot it into place that's it now if you do have the solar panel obviously you
would set it up right next to it so the cable can reach there's a bit of length on that cable too so
you could mount it somewhere else if you wanted to do so then it would pretty much give you unlimited
power and you wouldn't have to worry about taking it off to charge it or connecting up an external
battery to charge it every 210 days or so when you do need to top up the battery on the cb8 then our
application it is simply called easy vis you've got it on ios and for android this is an android
phone here so you do need to add the device of course pair it up to your wi-fi 2.4 gigahertz
network and you do need good coverage in order to be able to use this camera that it's not going to
be breaking up or lowering the quality if it's too far away from your router so i do recommend that
you have a powerful router with good distance and range so you see here that you've got the camera
right here you can see a preview now you can jump into it i'll go into the live preview right here
i'm a little bit away from that so it could take a few seconds so that wasn't actually too bad
that time to log in so you've got live image right there you can see the clips that it has recorded
you can take a photo you can hit record you have our pan and tilt so i can just jump into this now
and you can see i can then move this live and take a look around if i wanted to do so for example
imagine you had like a delivery coming and they said yeah we left the box so you can't see it but
if you jump in you can then go along and control this to then tilt down the camera take a look
tilt it up you get the idea now you do have this talk feature here so again if you were accepting
a delivery or you wanted to talk to someone on the other end we've got the built-in mic
and the loudspeaker so that's how you're able to do that the definition of the video so i'm using
ultra hd which is the 2k you've got 1080p and then high-def 720p there for it so you have just a few
other settings here if you just swipe you can see to the side you've got a 360 picture view
you have an alarm you can just put that on if you wanted to do so without actually setting it up
by the app because you can get it that it when it detects someone that it will come on so if i go
just back out of this and i can just jump in here to our library so you can see the days it has been
recorded all of those clips are there and then you can save those over to your phone and later on
we'll give you some sample footage of course you know exactly what to expect out of this cb8 so
just going back here i'll go into the settings of it so just go back into that and you can see it's
armed at the moment but you've got device set up so this we have a lot of different settings so i
have it in the high performance mode so it depends on how many times it's going to be triggered and
it records but it should last up to 210 days now if you plug in the optional solar panel then it'll
just pretty much keep going forever it'll just keep recharging and charging itself up which is
really good so here we've got the detection modes you can have it just to detect humans you've got
the passive infrared detection detection zones you can tweak that and the sensitivity if you
needed to do so so there's a lot of options in here i won't go through absolutely everything
notifications that you do get you can have an audible notification a light and messages too
you get the notifications with the app when it does detect and see someone it'll let you know
we have our image settings so you can change that that's just basically what it looks like
you've got original soft you can lower the color saturation if you find it to be too oversaturated
and then the night vision mode so you've got the color night vision mode or the
the infrared night vision mode uh with this particular model here so light settings as well
there's a powerful led light that's built into it to help light things up and let you know on
our remaining battery there too and you do have audio settings if you wanted to record as well
with it which is very handy i highly remember recommend you do leave that on so you can hear
conversations if someone's coming whatever it's something that you probably wouldn't change and
it's on by default of course now the files are saved into the library here so it could be on
the camera itself the cb 8 or it can be cloud they do have a cloud service but that's a paid
service there is a free trial for it but the files that are saved onto the camera these
are encrypted so you don't need to worry about that if someone just goes and grabs it steals it
pulls the micro sd card out they can't actually view those files without having your id logging in
and all that and those files are all encrypted so there's no way it's 100 and i believe 128
bit encryption there so it's going to be very difficult for them to be able to see them
and here is a sample now of the video quality so this is 2k you can see it is going to track me
as i move about here i want to go over to this side the camera is going to keep following me
now it does look quite bright here that's because we've got direct sunlight on this area here it's
capturing everything reasonably good here we do have a wide field of view so you can
see a lot in there and you can see that it keeps moving around it will keep tracking me of course
that is a built-in speaker there is a microphone of course that's what you're hearing and listening
to now is the built-in microphone so you can have two-way communications with the
easy biz cb8 and then this is our night vision so color night vision here is using the powerful led
raining at the moment but it does look very clear here as you can see it is tracking me which is
good so it's going to track daytime and night time and it's still keeping me in the frame here which
is what you want so i do actually like the quality we're seeing here for the night type footage
this easy vid cb8 does have a built-in alarm to it so i have turned the alarm volume down
in this video so you don't damage your ears but it is really loud as you'll hear from the sample
to give you an idea but it's actually so much more louder than what i'm going to show you now
okay so it was very easy for me to install this it only took me probably about 10 minutes to choose
the location now a little bit on the location of where you put this camera make sure it's going
to be in the range of your wireless network of course because that is how it is connected up
it cannot be connected up via a lan port or anything like that it's all wireless it's
battery wireless that's that's what it's called of course and you do need to have a 2.4 gigahertz so
that's your wi-fi in network active too a lot of people do turn that off and they just use now the
more modern wi-fi ax or you fall back onto the ac but you are going to need the 2.4 gigahertz
but that's a good thing because normally it's more of a stable wireless uh frequency to be
using because it's got a better range to it normally with most routers there with them
so we've got the 2k footage quality we've got the night vision on there and of course you can have
two-way communications with a built-in loudspeaker and microphone when you are using the app so
imagine you had this out somewhere where you had a delivery to your front door you had this in your
porch you could talk to the delivery driver give them instructions on where to leave the package
for you and of course see all of that and even have the camera tracking them with its smart human
tracking so you can adjust all of those through the application there is even a cloud option if
you did want that otherwise the video clips are saved onto the micro sd card and then they can
be streamed over and downloaded on your phone and they are encrypted too on the micro sd card
it's all linked to your account so even if someone wants to steal it there's no way they're going to
be able to view those files there so it does have the weatherproof rating which is another great
thing about this so you can have it on the wall in the sun not going to be a problem and speaking of
the sun well you could get the solar panel too if you wanted unlimited battery life that means
the solar panel would just be continually topping it up of course and you wouldn't
ever have to bother about charging it as it stands it will go for up to 210 days before you need to
think about charging it and you can always check with the application the remaining battery life
so it's got a lot of features on offer here if you're after a wireless camera wireless battery
operated camera for security you can set up as alarm this one is definitely worth a look
of course with the 360 degree panoramic view that does have so there we go that is easy visitors cb8
