Review: EZVIZ H7c Dual 2K+: Two Cameras Are Better Than One
Indoor security cameras have become increasingly sophisticated, but most still require you to choose between watching one important area continuously or relying on a motorised camera to move around the room.
The EZVIZ H7c Dual 2K+ takes a different approach. It effectively puts two security cameras into one compact unit, combining a fixed wide-angle camera with a separate motorised pan-and-tilt lens.
Priced at A$139.95 in Australia, it offers an unusually comprehensive feature set for an indoor camera, including dual 2K+ video, human detection, automatic tracking, colour night vision, two-way communication and both local and cloud storage.
The headline feature is undoubtedly those two cameras.
Both capture video at up to 2560 x 1440 resolution. The fixed camera uses a 2.8mm lens with a 92-degree horizontal field of view, while the second uses a narrower 6mm lens mounted to the motorised pan-and-tilt mechanism.
Rather than simply giving you two versions of the same view, the idea is to let the fixed camera continuously monitor an important part of the room while the movable camera follows activity elsewhere.
It is a clever arrangement for larger living areas, open-plan spaces or households using the camera to monitor children or pets.
EZVIZ has also linked the two cameras together through its tracking system. If the fixed lens detects a person entering its field of view, the pan-and-tilt camera can move towards the subject and track them as they travel around the room.
That is considerably more useful than a conventional pan-and-tilt camera which may be pointing in the wrong direction when something initially happens.
Users can view both feeds through the EZVIZ app, and tapping an area within the wide-angle image can direct the movable camera towards it for a closer look.
Image quality should also be a considerable step above basic Full HD indoor cameras. Both sensors deliver 2K+ resolution and use relatively bright F1.6 lenses, which should help retain detail as available light falls.
Night monitoring includes conventional infrared as well as a smart colour night-vision mode. The infrared system has a rated range of up to 10 metres.
There is more intelligence built in than simple motion detection. The H7c Dual can distinguish human-shaped movement, reducing the likelihood that every passing pet or moving curtain will generate the same type of alert.

It can also listen for unusually loud noises, making the camera useful for monitoring more than movement alone.
Two patrol modes allow the camera to automatically check selected positions, while a privacy-oriented Sleep Mode can be enabled when monitoring isn’t required.
Another particularly useful inclusion is two-way communication. There is a microphone and speaker for talking through the camera remotely, along with a physical call button that lets someone at home initiate a call through the camera.
That gives the H7c Dual some additional appeal for keeping in contact with children or elderly family members rather than using it exclusively as a security device.
Connectivity is another strong point. The camera supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi 6, rather than limiting users to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi as many affordable security cameras still do.
There is also an Ethernet port if a wired network connection is preferable.
Storage is similarly flexible. A microSD card of up to 512GB can be installed for local recordings, avoiding the need to pay an ongoing subscription simply to retain footage. EZVIZ CloudPlay is available for users who would prefer cloud storage.
H.265 compression is supported alongside H.264, helping reduce the storage and bandwidth requirements of high-resolution video.
Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant integration is also included, allowing compatible smart displays to show the camera feed.
There are some limitations to consider.
This is an indoor, mains-powered security camera, so it isn’t intended to replace a weather-resistant outdoor model. Its dual-lens configuration also makes it more elaborate than necessary if you simply want to monitor a small room or a single doorway.

The two-camera concept is most valuable in a space large enough to benefit from simultaneous fixed and moving views.
There is also no getting around the fact that adding more detection options, patrol settings, tracking controls and dual feeds makes the H7c Dual more complex than an inexpensive plug-and-play indoor camera.
For users willing to make use of those features, however, that complexity translates into much greater flexibility.
Currently available at JB Hi-Fi for $111, the EZVIZ H7c Dual 2K+ occupies an interesting position. It remains relatively affordable while providing features that could otherwise require two separate indoor cameras.
The strongest reason to buy it isn’t simply its 2K+ resolution or lengthy feature list. It is the ability to keep one set of electronic eyes fixed on an important area while another independently looks around the room.
For larger indoor spaces, households with pets or anyone wanting broader coverage without installing several cameras, that dual-lens design makes the H7c Dual considerably more interesting than the average pan-and-tilt security camera.
