It wasn’t that long ago where video security doorbells were considered an advanced, high-tech gadget requiring professional installation. While they still are high-tech, products like the Ezviz DB1C show how easy it is to add a much-needed layer of security.

The Ezviz DB1C connects to your existing doorbell wiring. Having it wired directly ensures that the camera is always powered.

The ease of use, with a simple installation, is what typically makes a product like this a make or break in my world and the Ezviz DB1C is exactly that. It’s straightforward to connect, but if you aren’t secure doing any kind of an electrical connection, find a neighbor or professional electrician.

A feature of Ezviz DB1C that stood out is the Wi-Fi connection to dual-band Wi-Fi of both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. If the router is close, a 5GHz frequency connection provides a faster speed at the shorter range.

The 2.1mm, f2.4, view angle lens provides a 170-degree vertical field of view in 1080p HD. When the doorbell button is pressed, it initiates a notification to the Ezviz app on the user’s smartphone. From there you’ll see who is at the front door along with two-way audio communication.

It’s in your control what the camera detects with the settings for motion alerts in the app. The app manages and controls all Ezviz products including indoor and outdoor security cameras.
