EZVIZ H8 2K 360° Pan & Tilt Outdoor Wi-Fi Camera

* EZVIZ-H8-2K-360.jpgBoosted by on-board AI algorithm, this next level camera is one of the smartest in its category to detect activity and movement along with useful features to make communications easier. Part of the award-winning outdoor PT series, this model features a new cube-shaped appearance, and rotates smoothly with ultra-low noise for full-area protection.

In addition to its most popular person and vehicle shape detection capabilities, its onboard AI also recognises a waving hand. This enables children and the elderly, who are not necessarily very tech savvy, to send video calls to the user’s phone so they can always enjoy instant communication.

When in action, the H8 Pro 2K can watch over a large garden or any outbuildings effortlessly, while freeing users from constant checking thanks to its smart notifications. Other features include 360° panoramic coverage, auto tracking, active defence with siren and strobe light, two way talk and colour night vision.  

 
The H8’s flexible 360° pan-and-tilt design and clear 2K resolution can help greatly in reducing blind spots and avoiding blurry imagery. The H8 Pro with a panoramic field of view, is able to lock on and follow a detected moving person to make sure nothing important is missed. The H8 Pro 2Ks on-board algorithm helps it identify moving people and vehicles in particular. It reduces false alerts caused by swirling leaves or flying birds or insects and informs users when an unknown vehicle parks in the property area without permission.

Users can also customise the detection method, sensitivity and zones for precisely the correct amount of assistance. When human motion is detected, the H8 Pro 2K will automatically rotate to track the movement and zoom in up to four times to record the activity so homeowners are always informed and made aware of any unusual activity. Incredibly useful if a family are away from the home or to ensure a delivery is never missed as the user can see, hear, and talk to any visitor via a smart phone. All AI detection and alarm features are free to use with the camera purchase, and no subscription is ever needed. Usually, there are particular areas around a home, such as a front door or garage, that need extra surveillance. With the H8 Pro 2K, people can pinpoint up to twelve viewing spots via the EZVIZ App. Even if the camera has changed its monitoring angle after auto-tracking an activity, users can simply tap on the pre-set dots to help it resume its place fast.

 
The camera also features an active defence function to provide that extra layer of protection. Upon detection of intruders, the camera will set off a loud siren and flash two spotlights to deter even the most determined intruder. The H8 Pro 2K also makes sure than no one can easily sneak in under cover of darkness as it renders colour night vision up to 20 metres with the help of the built-in spotlights and ensures impressive black and white vision up to 30 meters when the lights are off. What’s more, users can set the camera to the “smart night vision” mode so it can automatically switch from black-and-white to full colour upon motion detection. Despite all the functionality, the H8 Pro 2K has a compact design measuring only 116 x 153.2 x 163.8mms, and is fully weatherproof to deliver long-standing performance, even in harsh weather conditions.
 
The camera features the advanced H.265 video compression technology, achieving better video quality with only half the bandwidth and half the storage space of the previous H.264 video compression standard. Homeowners have the option to secure any recorded videos on a local microSD card of up to 512GB, or, if preferred, can subscribe to EZVIZ CloudPlay for fully encrypted cloud storage and extra peace of mind. EZVIZ is the only smart security brand to offer the option of local storage and/or a cloud based storage solution so users can choose whether to subscribe or not. 
 
"The H8 Pro takes a unique spot in the market for smart home security, both for its unique capabilities and for how versatile it is in comparison to other products,” said Jenny Zhu, the lead product manager of the EZVIZ Outdoor PT Camera Series. “It is the ideal choice for families who want to invest in one high-quality camera for possibly the widest – and wisest – possible protection. For its functionality and value, we’re confident that it is an ideal buying option that’s hard to beat.”
