Ezviz is part of Hikvision.
I actually prefer Hikvision POE cameras, I subnetted and blocked all internet access from the individual cameras. And run my own PCNVR, so there is only 1 connection to the internet and reduces entry points to hack the system (especially the Chinese Government Dial Homes).
I think POE is the best way to go in the long run, for future proofing.
What PC NVR do you use? I have an ESXi host or a ubuntu bare-metal box I could use. Though I may have storage issues with a VM as I would not have the right drives.
I'm using BlueIris for PC NVR.
BlueIris does chew up heaps of CPU if you use its native features such as motion detection. Although it provides a lot better MD than onboard algorithms on cameras, it does eat alot of CPU,
If your system isn't that powerful, you could do things like Direct 2 Disk recording and turn on camera MD so BlueIris doesn't do encoding but simply works as a regular "NVR".
@lplau: i also have POE cameras. pm me if you have any interest.
peronally prefer wifi camera's simplicity over these, too much wiring and connection.wondering what hard drive they used in these dvr box?
The hdd is WD purple surveillance hdd.
I never trusted Wifi for Security. Because a thief could just arm themselves with a $5 Wifi Jammer that hooks into their mobile phone or a small power bank and there goes the video streams.
A lot harder to do that with a wired system.
Only benefits I see with a Wifi system would be the ease of install, other than that, feature wise and future proofing would go to POE Wired.
this Camera also come with connector, so you can plug in with ethernet cable if you want, run a cable from your router to camera.
tempted, anyone have any info or feedback on these?
u can try to search other expired post for some feedback.
How long is the power cable for the cameras please?
total length of the power cable is 1.7m, from camera to adapter.
Thanks can you buy a cable extension?
there is some cable extension selling on ebay. or you can use power extension cable.

just let you know that i only have two sets left for this kit.
I'm in need of security cameras for home, but my budget is around $200.
you can probably go with 2 cameras without nvr, but need to buy two Micro sd card.
Too Expensive …….
cannot compare with other kit for price. Different products.
