The Ezviz LC3’s 4 Mpx sensor allows you to shoot up to 2560 x 1440 pixels, but the app allows you to limit the range of recordings to 1080p or 720p. The optics allow the diagonal to cover an angle of 157, and Ezviz adds infrared LEDs for night vision. The lamp is used to record in color after dark, but you will not see many video settings like other Ezviz cameras like the BC1. Color saturation is not adjusted and no adjustment is provided to control the effect of backlighting.
By day
Compare an image taken from a recording provided by Ezviz LC3 during the day Smart external surveillance camera With Netatmo – a benchmark in the category of cameras with integrated lighting – the rendering looks very elegant and detailed first. However, the Swiss camera offers very different images and cannot distinguish all the elements in tone even in light or dark areas. Svis has accustomed us a little better, however the quality of the film here is good.
At night
By distinguishing the infrared views of the cameras of Ezviz and Netatmo in our test scene, the observation is the same. Again, thanks to the fact that LC3 has reproduced its details better. However, this is as far from doing it at night as it is during the day: a lot of information is lost, and the same expression issues prevent tone-on-tone elements from coming out. So none of the cameras are really sure of the infrared view.
On the side of the Swiss, we also had trouble recognizing a face that was shot over 2.5 meters. This is not enough for an external camera, and we would have liked a little more sensitive motion detection once the recognition of the human form was enabled: its range was only about 4.5 meters. Disabling this option allows you to benefit from a higher range – our movements are detected without problems at 9 meters – but the user is exposed to many false alarms.
The integrated lighting in the Ezviz LC3 still allows you to straighten the bar at night. We see a detail similar to that seen during the day, but elements that are much brighter, even in the distance, can be over-expressed. It is useful to adjust the lamp wattage to prevent an intruder’s face from being completely burned in the log, so it cannot be identified.
