EZVIZ BC2 battery indoor camera 2.4GHz 📷
Description:
This compact indoor battery camera combines portable convenience with basic smart home monitoring, making it useful for short-term surveillance and temporary placements. It is a battery-powered camera that records in 1080p and includes two-way audio, designed to be moved around the home without needing a plug or permanent fitting.
Key Points
The camera runs on a rechargeable battery and, according to the manufacturer, can operate for up to 50 days on a full charge when configured for intermittent use. It features human-shape detection through a PIR sensor to reduce false alerts and sends notifications to your phone so you can check activity remotely. Night vision works to capture faces and movement after dark, which complements the 1080p video for clearer playback. The device supports two-way audio so you can speak through the camera from your smartphone, useful for brief interactions with family or pets. The camera only connects to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, so it will not work on a 5 GHz network during setup. 😊

Usage Recommendations
Place the camera where you need temporary coverage rather than as a permanent fixed unit. The included magnetic mount makes it easy to attach to metal surfaces and to reposition in seconds without tools. For longer battery life, reduce continuous live-streaming and favour motion-triggered recording, and consider using local SD storage to avoid continuous cloud upload. The camera is compact enough to take on short trips for temporary monitoring, but bear in mind it will still need recharging after extended use.
Positive Aspects
This camera offers straightforward app control and quick installation with the magnetic base, which helps avoid drilling or adhesives. The PIR human detection reduces irrelevant alerts from pets or moving curtains, so notifications are more likely to reflect people. The two-way audio allows short real-time conversations through the app and the night vision extends monitoring into low light. A limitation to consider is the exclusive 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi requirement, which may require adjusting your network setup if you primarily use a 5 GHz band. 😊
