EZVIZ EP3x Pro review

About the EZVIZ EP3x Pro

The EP3x Pro has two lenses. The upper one records at 2K (2048 × 1296) with a 162° diagonal view. The lower one records at 1080p with a 155° view and points at the doorstep. Video runs at a fixed 15 fps. Night vision reaches up to 6 m with infrared, and a built-in LED gives colour night vision within about 1 m.

A 5200 mAh rechargeable battery powers it. The box includes a solar panel (1.2 W maximum) that tops the battery up. EZVIZ describes solar as a supplementary source, so charging depends on sunlight. You can also charge over USB-C or wire it to 8 to 24 VAC. Clips save to 32GB of built-in storage, with no card or plan needed. EZVIZ's cloud storage is offered only in some markets.

Detection covers human shape and parcels, with a 120° motion sensor reaching up to 5 m (adjustable to 4 m or 3 m). Two-way talk, a voice changer and a tamper alarm are built in. It works with Alexa. With Google Assistant you get live video, but not the chime or incoming calls. No chime unit is included: it can use an existing 8 to 24 VAC chime, or the optional EZVIZ CH1. The box adds two mounting brackets, drill templates for the doorbell and panel, screws, wire connectors and a power cable.

What owners report about the EZVIZ EP3x Pro

We found little owner feedback for this exact model, so this rests mainly on one UK owner's long-term report and on published reviews.

That owner calls the doorbell reliable day to day. The built-in storage means no card to manage, the chime was easy to set up in the app, and it caught a parcel thief on camera. Their one big problem was the battery. Their solar panel faces a north wall with no sun, they left low-battery warnings for weeks, and the doorbell then stopped charging over USB-C. It kept working on a wired supply. They also say the solar panel's cable is very short.

Expert Reviews found motion detection inconsistent, with the doorbell mistaking a cat for a person while parcel detection worked reliably. That reviewer also found the app fussy, with poorly translated settings, and noted that a mechanical chime box can't be connected at the same time as the solar panel.

Who the EZVIZ EP3x Pro suits

The EP3x Pro suits a door where the solar panel can sit in daylight and you want clips stored without a monthly fee. The second lens helps if parcels left on the step are your main worry. It also suits anyone who wants the option of hardwiring later.

Look elsewhere if your door or porch is shaded or north-facing, or if your router only gives a 5GHz network, as this is 2.4GHz only. Google Home users miss the chime and calls. For a shaded door, the Tapo D235 or Reolink Battery Video Doorbell (2nd Gen) are alternatives; for the widest app and accessory support, consider the Ring Battery Video Doorbell 2K Plus.
