We analyze the Ezviz CTQ6C surveillance camera

In recent years, we have seen how the price of surveillance cameras has dropped considerably, and currently on the market we can find a wide variety of brands and models that offer us excellent value for money.

If you are looking for a camera to be able to see what your dog or cat does when you are not at home, who enters or leaves your house and at what time does it, have an elderly person who needs attention at all times ... we have our disposition the Ezviz CTQ6C camera, a camera with an excellent value for money.

What the EZVIZ CTQ6C camera offers us

Pan and Tilt function

This function allows us to expand the field of view of the camera since through the application we can move it from right to left and from top to bottom, in order to expand the field of view of the same if we want to modify the angle of view without having to physically move the camera.

In the box where the camera is located, we find the tools and the necessary support to be able to fix the camera to a wall or ceiling, although we can use without any support on any flat surface like a bookcase.

Camera resolution

This is undoubtedly one more negative point of the camera, as long as we are looking for a high resolution such as 1080p. The Ezviz CTQ6C offers us a maximum resolution of 720P, a resolution more than enough if our intention is to use it to monitor an elderly person, an animal or see who comes home. However, Ezviz also offers us a model with 1080p resolution, a model that is obviously more expensive.

activity tracking

If we activate this function, the camera will take care of follow the movement of the person who appears on the image, including animals, although these must be large breeds. The movement is smooth and does not jerk at any time, something that is undoubtedly appreciated and will invite us to have this function activated.

Application for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac and Browser

One of the problems with this type of camera is that It only offers us an application for mobile devices, without taking into account those users who are forced to monitor almost in real time through the camera, something that we cannot do with the mobile or tablet.

Ezviz offers us the possibility of access the content through the browser with our PC or Mac, in addition to the Ezviz Studio application, although the latter is only available for PC not for Mac.

Night vision

As a good camera worth its salt, the night vision offered by this model allows us to see everything that happens in a range of 10 meters. The quality of the image is quite high and allows us to clearly distinguish the people or animals that appear in the image.

Bidirectional audio

This model integrates both a microphone so that we can hear what happens behind the camera as a loudspeaker so we can talk with the person we are observing. The quality of the speaker is sufficient if we are silent as well as the quality of the microphone, although if we are watching television at that moment, we will be forced to lower the volume if we want to have a conversation.

Privacy mode

This mode disables the camera completely, so that no other person, including us, will not be able to access the image that is displayed. Although this function may seem a bit theoretical and not real, when we activate this mode, the camera when deactivated moves the lens upwards hiding in the chassis, to ensure that it is activated, which offers us an added security.

MicroSD compatible

Ezviz offers us a cloud storage service that allows us to access the content that is shown in front of the camera when we are not using the application. Use this service for free for 14 days to see how it works and the versatility it offers us.

However, if we are already tired of paying subscriptions, we can make use of a microSD card where everything that happens in front of the camera will be stored. The maximum size of the microSD card that it supports is 128 GB, more than enough to cover any need.

Supported Wi-Fi bands

Another of the buts that we found in the Ezviz CTQ6C webcam is that only supports 2,4 GHz networks, so if in our home we only have a 5 GHz network, we will be forced to activate this band to be able to use the camera.

The reason for offering compatibility with this camera is none other than the characteristic it offers us. 2,4 GHz networks have a greater range than 5 GHz networks, whose main characteristic is that they offer us greater speed. The important thing is a camera of this type is that we place it where we place it, we do not have problems connecting it to the Wi-Fi network of our home or workplace.

But in addition to being able to connect it through a Wi-Fi network, we can also make use of the RJ-45 connection to connect directly to the router.

Alexa compatible

One of the advantages that this camera offers us if we buy them with the rest of the offers available on Amazon, is that this model iss compatible with Alexa, which allows us to ask the Amazon assistant to show us through the Echo Show what is happening in the camera that you have installed in a specific room or area. It is also compatible with both Google Home and IFTTT.
