After using the EZVIZ EP4 for a while, my overall feeling is that it’s a solid peephole camera that does what it promises without being perfect.
The picture quality is clearly better than the cheap stuff, the wide angle covers the whole entrance, and the fact that you can record everything locally on a big microSD card without paying a subscription is a real plus. The indoor screen is actually handy for family members or guests who don’t want to deal with the app, and the two‑way audio is good enough to talk to delivery drivers or tell someone you’re not opening.On the downside, you need to be ready to spend a bit of time tuning the settings so you don’t get spammed by notifications, and the face recognition is helpful but not magic. Battery life is decent, but you still have to remember to recharge it every few weeks, and the non‑removable battery means you can’t just swap a spare. The app works, but it’s not the most polished thing on earth, and you feel it sometimes with slow pairing or slightly clunky menus.I’d recommend this mainly to people in apartments or rentals who already have a peephole and can’t or don’t want to install a wired doorbell. In that situation, it’s a pretty good, practical solution that gives you clear video, local storage, and easy DIY install. If you live in a house and you’re free to wire a standard video doorbell, you might find other products that integrate better with chimes and smart home systems. So, good product overall, just make sure its particular format and small quirks match what you actually need.
