Ezviz BC1C: the excellent BC1 surveillance camera with direct WiFi connection

By Mathieu Freitaspartager: 2

Ezviz declines its BC1 battery camera in a WiFi Direct compatible version.The BC1C can thus operate without connection base.

The Ezviz BC1 is an excellent battery surveillance camera.With its many features and good image quality, it has also obtained the score of 5 stars at the end of our test.However, we had regretted not being able to connect it to the house wifi network, because it is necessarily passing through a connection base.Ezviz is seeing her copy today with the BC1C.This new camera takes up the design and features of the BC1 with the advantage of working without a base.

More basis, 32 GB of on -board memory, but a little less autonomy

The BC1C can therefore directly access the Internet with its 2.4 GHz WiFi connection, which also facilitates the use of repeaters when several cameras are distributed over a large area.The battery is obviously kept for a 100 % wireless installation, but the capacity however goes from 12,900 mAh to the BC1 to 7800 mAh on the BC1C.

This decrease may be explained by the integration of a storage medium within the camera itself, while the previous model was based on the microSD slot integrated at its base to keep the recordings locally-The BC1C directly integrates 32 GB of EMMC memory.In any case, its autonomy should be less, which confirms Ezviz.The manufacturer announces a maximum of 7 months of autonomy against 12, but evokes the addition of a solar panel in its catalog;He will avoid having to recharge the camera manually.

PIR sensor, 1080p video and color night vision

If not, there is a main 2 MP sensor with infrared leds and a projector for night vision, a PIR movement detector associated with a human form recognition algorithm, a microphone, a speaker or a mermaid.The whole is always protected in a waterproof envelope (IP66) and is obviously piloting remotely via the usual app of Ezviz.

The BC1C is now available at the recommended public price of € 119.99.

Between chat and meals, Mathieu, it's a bit of a good friend in the home section.But it is better to flee to keep the line...and its concentration.
