EZVIZ Peephole Camera (Door Viewer Cam) CP2 with 4.3-inch indoor monitor, 1080P Wi‑Fi 2.4G
Product description
What it is and the job it does
The EZVIZ peephole camera (CP2) is a wireless door viewer designed to fit into an existing peephole. Instead of you squinting through a small spyhole from inside, it routes what the lens sees to a 4.3-inch colour screen mounted indoors, and you can also check the live view from your mobile via the EZVIZ app.
On paper, it’s a straightforward upgrade for flats and apartments where you want a clearer look at who’s at the door, without installing a full doorbell or running new cables. The “monitor inside the door” idea is exactly the point: you can identify visitors without having to constantly lean closer to the peephole.
It’s also not the kind of camera that tries to replace every security gadget in the house. There’s no doorbell button, and it doesn’t include the ability to record to an SD card or use a subscription to save video.
Key features that matter in daily use
The standout element here is the indoor colour screen. Because the screen is on the inside of your door, checking who’s outside becomes a glance-and-go routine. In real life, that can be handy when you’re carrying shopping, when you’re in a hurry, or when you just don’t want to move across the room every time someone knocks.
You also get 1080P HD video and a 146° field of view, which should help with framing. A narrow peephole view can make it hard to catch faces clearly, this approach aims to widen what you see so it’s easier to spot who’s there and what they’re holding.
There’s also mention of a large aperture (F1.6), which is a positive sign for clearer detail compared with smaller apertures. Still, it’s worth noting the base information explicitly says there’s no night vision, so if your entry area is often dark after sunset, this may leave you wanting more.
Compatibility and installation checks before you buy
This is one of those products where compatibility really is the first gate. The CP2 is designed for flat/apartment doors and needs the right peephole and door thickness.
You’ll need a peephole diameter in the 14 to 26 mm range, and a door thickness of 35 to 105 mm. If your door doesn’t match those ranges, it may not install properly.
A small but important practical point: the 4.3-inch screen needs to be installed on the door. So you’re not just buying a camera and sticking it somewhere, you should be prepared to mount the indoor display as part of the setup.
Also, the product description indicates the unit is powered by batteries and connects to a 2.4GHz Wi‑Fi network. If your home network setup is the sort of thing where 2.4GHz is unreliable or you strongly prefer wired solutions, that’s a consideration.
What stands out (and what feels limiting)
What’s likely to feel good day to day is the combination of a wider view and an indoor screen. For anyone who’s tired of relying on a tiny peephole, this does a sensible job: you can check visitors from a comfortable distance.
Privacy protection is another benefit in the way it’s described. By fitting into your existing peephole, the idea is that people outside can’t simply look through the hole as they would with a standard peephole.
The limitations are also pretty clear. This camera doesn’t have a doorbell button, it doesn’t support SD card insertion, and it doesn’t provide motion detection. The “no motion detector” and “no night vision” notes mean it’s more about live viewing than about catching events automatically.
That makes it a more niche pick: it suits households who mainly want to see who’s there when they choose to look, rather than a device that quietly monitors and alerts you.
Who it suits best (and who should look elsewhere)
It makes sense if you want a simple door viewer for an apartment/flat and you’re comfortable with a screen mounted indoors as the main interface. It also suits people who value real-time checks via the app, especially if you often miss the knock or you’re not right by the door.
It may not suit you if you specifically need recording and event saving. Since there’s no SD card support and no recording via subscription, you’d be relying on live viewing only.
You may also want to skip it if your main concern is night-time identification. With no night vision mentioned, performance after dark could be a weak point unless your entry area lighting is consistently good.

Is it worth it?
If you’re after a door viewer upgrade for a flat/apartment—something you can check quickly from inside, plus optionally from your phone—this EZVIZ CP2 has a clear purpose. The indoor screen approach and wide(ish) view can be genuinely more convenient than leaning into a peephole.
But it’s not the right choice if your ideal security setup includes motion alerts or recorded evidence. Since it lacks motion detection and night vision (as stated) and doesn’t support SD card recording, it sits more in “live access and identification” than “full security coverage”.
If you’re comfortable with those trade-offs and your door and peephole match the 14–26 mm and 35–105 mm ranges, it’s a sensible buy. If not, the mismatch alone can make it a frustrating experience.
Quick FAQ
What’s the main difference versus a basic peephole?
It replaces the tiny peephole viewing experience with a camera feed shown on a 4.3-inch indoor colour screen, plus optional mobile app live view.
Does it include video recording or an SD card?
No. The product details state there’s no SD card support, and it also doesn’t include a subscription option for recording and saving videos.
Is there motion detection?
No—this door viewer is explicitly described as having no motion detector.
Will it work at night?
The information provided says there’s no night vision, so night-time identification may depend on lighting around your door.
Does it need a specific door setup?
Yes. It needs a supported peephole diameter (14–26 mm) and a compatible door thickness (35–105 mm). The indoor screen also needs to be installed on the door.
