Introduction

The EZVIZ C6N (CS-C6N-A0-1C2WFR) 2-pack promises a comprehensive smart home security solution at an affordable price. This review is based on several weeks of hands-on testing, exploring its features and performance in a real-world setting. We’ll delve into its capabilities, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses to help you decide if it’s the right choice for your needs.

Features

The EZVIZ C6N boasts an impressive array of features for its price point. Key highlights include the 340° horizontal rotation, providing near 360° coverage. The 1080p resolution delivers crisp, clear video, and the night vision is surprisingly effective, capturing detail even in low-light conditions. Two-way audio lets you communicate with anyone within the camera’s range, and the integration with Alexa is a convenient bonus. The physical privacy shutter is a welcome addition for those concerned about privacy. The app, while sometimes a little slow, offers most functionalities without any hiccups.

Performance

In terms of performance, the C6N exceeded my expectations in several areas. The motion detection worked reliably, generating alerts promptly. Smart tracking successfully followed moving objects, and the video quality, especially during the daytime, was excellent. Night vision proved effective, capturing details even in dimly lit rooms. However, at extreme darkness the feed became grainy. The two-way audio functioned well, though the audio quality wasn’t exceptional. Overall, performance was reliable and consistent across the two cameras in the pack.

Setup was straightforward, taking less than 15 minutes for both cameras. The app’s interface is intuitive enough and helped me get started without needing extensive prior knowledge of security cameras. The integration with Alexa was smooth and easy to configure.

One minor issue I noticed was occasional lag in the live feed, especially during periods of high network activity. This wasn’t frequent enough to be a major problem, but it’s worth mentioning.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Affordable, 360° near coverage, good video quality, reliable motion detection, effective night vision, easy setup, Alexa integration, physical privacy shutter.
• Cons: Occasional lag in live feed, audio quality could be better, App could use some refinement.

Final Verdict

The EZVIZ C6N (CS-C6N-A0-1C2WFR) 2-pack offers excellent value for its price. While not perfect, its strengths outweigh its weaknesses. The near 360° coverage, clear video quality, and reliable motion detection make it a compelling option for anyone seeking affordable home security. The inclusion of two cameras in the pack significantly enhances the value proposition. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a simple yet effective home security solution.
